We have all cast judgments at one time or another but if you shift your perspective, you can see people in a whole different light. Try shifting your perspective when observing or working with others by noting the following, they:
- have a mother
- are one their own journey and quest to a destination of choice
- have hopes and dreams like you
- might be lacking a few lessons to sharpen their skills
- may have had their heartbroken or never heard the words “I love you”
- have fears and self-limiting beliefs just like you but may not have the coping skills
- want their children to have they best they can offer
- might be working two jobs to make ends meet
- be better served if you view them with compassion.
When you view people with compassion, you can gain a better perspective of where they are coming from. Stepping into someone else’s world you can learn what drives them to continue doing what they are doing and what holds them back from achieving their deepest desires.
“People don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care… about them!” Zig Ziglar
By changing your perspective, you can now build an action plan to serve people better by:
- offering solutions and opportunities
- being someone people can relate to
- being understanding of a person’s situation
- helping people overcome their fears especially when it comes to buying your products and services.
- making a difference by being their to listen.
Your compassion and kindness is what matters. People want to know that care about who they are and what they want. People first! Selling is not about being salesy it is about taking time to learn about others. What do you want to learn?
