Amazingly before the end of the year, 2 deals that were long awaited were finally closed.  This is great as traction can finally take way.  A lot of learning came from this and a lot of hardship along the way.

I have to admit, I wasn’t sure one of the deals was going to happen.

Level 1

Position

People follow you because you’re the boss and they have to.   This is a given position to you and you didn’t have to necessarily work for it.

Level 2

Permission Relationships

People follow you because they like you and that you ask for a heart before you ask for a hand.  People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

Level 3

Production Results

People follow you because of what you have done for the company, your career, and/or the establishment.  You can produce results and others respect that.  Momentum only begins at this level.

Level 4

People Development

People reproduction stage in which people follow you because of what you have done for them.   They have benefited as a result of your leadership and give you the credit for that.  Loyalty kicks in and becomes a key factor at this level.

Level 5

Personhood

People follow you because of who you are and what you represent.  You’ve become an icon of success and people follow you because of it.

A friend of mine (whose name will remain anonymous despite his TV fame) recently introduced me to a concept.  In order to succeed at what he’s famous for, he applies a mindset that people are always watching him.  This originated from his background as a performer, but it’s true for social situations as well.

This concept applies greatly to sales, as you cannot expect to treat a waiter poorly and have your client not take note of it.  People everywhere will respond  to you and the weight of how you treat even the small guys will reflect on your overall appearance.

If indeed you are applying the fake-it ’til you make it strategy, it needs to be turned on always.  If you’re naturally a good person, it’s just a matter of habit.

Avoid speaking ill of others and instead–Speak well and of how great they are.

Charisma should always be set to “on.”

I went looking for a bunch of eCommerce packages and researched my head off.  I stumbled on a few, which I’d have to host myself.  Unfortunately,  they’re all full of bugs and are really complicated to manage.  I installed Magneto and I will attempt to play with it some more, but it’s already a headache from the install portion.

Instead, I saw a website that basically hosts everything for you and the cost of basically everything is under what it would cost to do it on my own.  Furthermore, it looks great, is quick to set up, and is SIMPLE.
