Always Ask For The Business

Always Ask For The Business.

Here is the long and the short of it. Professionals ask for the business. Amateurs don’t. The choice is yours. Are you a pro or are you a wanna-be? Here are the facts:

1. Some people are going to think you are pushy no matter what you do or say.
2. Some people are going to tell you to “buzz-off.”
3. Some people are going to threaten to call the cops.
4. Some people are lazy and although they are looking at you straight in the eye, they don’t have a clue what you just said to them or asked them to do.
5. Some people will be reluctant to do business with you but they will agree just the same.
6. Some people will be glad you asked … others will take offense.
7. Some people won’t wait for you to ask and they will demand you to take their money.
8. Some people are looking for someone like you who knows what they are talking about.
9. Some people are shy and are depending on you to make the first move.
10. Some people just don’t know what to ask, what to say, or what to do.
11. Some people are really glad that you came upon the scene.

Many people will need you. Most people won’t.

This is what makes the world such a competitive planet. It takes all kinds.

As long as you are not a crook, thug, or a dishonest ex-con, you have nothing to apologize for. Just stick to your knitting. Go out there and mix with the people. And keep on asking for the business. You are a professional.
