Love this coined phrase: “resting pleasant face”

Something I got a lot better at after redoing my setup. Using my camera flip screen I can always keep an eye on what others are seeing when they look at me. In a way it’s a reminder to give to others what I would want to receive. Sometimes all it takes is a resting pleasant face.

Bravo on this piece Alexandra!

Thanks, Steven! Great tip. Anything that acts as a mirror (physically or metaphorically) is great for self-awareness.

If I were still working, I would make the point in your article an important, if not the most important part, of dealing with people. I always made ‘listening’ imperative, but speaking last is a brilliant concept. Wish I had read your article many years ago. Congratulations on writing such an informative and helpful article. I’m sure anyone who reads it will have another great tool to work with.

Thank you, Mary Lou! I'm glad it resonates and I have no doubt you did a great job of listening to customers. Your success in sales is proof of that! :)
