Today I have spent the ENTIRE working day answering emails!
I could be like some people I know - and never answer them. You send them an email - and...nothing.
Most of the Internet marketers that I have managed to get to 'speak' to very rarely answer them.
What sort of 'customer service' is that?
I decided when I first started that I would always try to answer every (non-spam!) email that was sent to me. Sometimes I may take 30 minutes to type a response - but it's worth it to know that people who take the time to write to me are treated like human beings and not as a number.
Sure - as time goes on - then I might have to get a little more selective - or send out standard answers - but not just yet!
I pride myself on talking to YOU - and not to your wallet!
In any area of life - it's the same. Treat people as you wish to be treated yourself.
It's not a difficult thing to remember - but most people are so self-absorbed that they don't appreciate that the world (and therefore your success on it) is built upon relationships!
So - if you want to get on - start getting along with more people. Treat them with respect. It doesn't matter if they are the cleaner or the CEO - everyone deserves to be respected.
One day it could be you in either position - and how would YOU feel?
Be reliable. Be polite. And above all be genuine!
Always remember that the people you tread on on the way up - will be there to trip you up on the way down.
Don't burn your bridges - build them!
