Relationship Building - 5 Tips and 5 Questions
And is isn't hard - it's more about focusing on people, who they are and what interests them. And that's just where you spend your time. About them - not you, not your business. Create partnerships.
5 tips
* Be natural - by being yourself, you will build relationships with ease. Trust yourself - let yourself go. Be open, share your feelings, but mostly, listen to others.
* Ask questions - you will find out more about others by listening to what they have to say, so be nosy, ask open questions, find out stuff. Then ask more about what they have been telling you.
* Show integrity - by ensuring that others can trust you, by following through with promises and being discreet, people will be more open with you and that is the doorway to great relationships. Do what you say you will do.
* Match - nothing helps build relationships by matching tone, volume of voice. By taking the same body posture. By paying attention to their eyes (whilst nor staring).
* Have fun - nothing works better to build relationships than by having a foundation of a fun time together. So laugh, take time to 'play' and be informal. Take part.
5 Questions
1. What do you know about your people outside the business?
2. When was the last time you asked them about something important to them?
3. What percentage of your people do you speak to every day?
4. Who have you shared your hopes, fears, worries and excitements about your organisation with this week?
5. What three steps can you take to build relationships between you and your people - in the next three working days?
There is no time like the present to start and to focus on Relationship Building. It is the basis of all you do when you manage others.

Type of business with building
- If you owned a building and Wal-Mart was opening its doors across the street in a previously unoccupied area (along with 12-14 small shops), what type of business would you start?
Here are the considerations:
1. Money is a non-factor
2. Building is fairly large (10,000) square feet
3. Building is on the corner of a busy intersection (about to get much busier)
Removal of Director paperwork
- Hello
I have to remove a director from my company, does anyone know where I can find director termination paperwork, and paperwork to terminate officer status in a corporation.

Re: Quick Ways To Utilize SEO Effectively
- Hi Mary,
It will only help if those websites are linking back to you, and then that's still not very affective. It's much better to generate one-way backlinks to your site. Building quality backlinks is the name of the game.
