Courtesy

When it comes to courtesy, especially in the realm of sales and business relationships, it's all about respect and dependability. Courtesy is not just about being polite; it's about showing respect for the other person's time and efforts. In sales, courtesy can significantly enhance relationships, often even more than a big order can. It's about simple things like being on time for appointments and respecting the salesperson as you would want to be respected.

Showing up for your appointment and being punctual is not just a matter of keeping time; it's a demonstration of respect and reliability. It's easy to dismiss a salesperson with an "Oh, it's just a salesman," but the truth is, the difference lies in common courtesy. Being dependable and transparent in your communications can build a strong foundation for long-term relationships.

In the end, courtesy is about doing what you say you will do and being straightforward in your interactions. It's not too much to ask, is it? After all, respect and courtesy can often do more to enhance a business relationship than anything else. So, let's keep it simple: respect me, and I'll respect you. That’s the golden rule in sales and life.
