Some People Just Get It…And Others Do Not

Filed Under Home Business | Posted on June 24, 2009

me-1.jpgI’m going generic today as I write this. I mean this doesn’t just pertain to business at all in fact it goes way deeper than that. There are people who just get it and others who don’t. It’s really simple and if you are one of the few who really get it then it translates to business relations as well as personal, as it does for people who don’t.

So what is there to get? Okay, I’ll give you my definition of people who get it….or what getting it actually is. If you get it you know how to treat people with respect. I realize that sounds so simple but it totally is not. In business it pertains to returning calls and emails in a timely manner, being honest with your constituencyand giving people your time and letting them know that you can be trusted. People who get it can be and always want to be honest with people and do what they can to make other people feel good about working with you, the business person. It makes them feel like they made the right choice.

A business person who gets it can admit their mistakes. In fact they always admit their mistakes and will try to rectify them…..even if they have to lose a buck or a bit of their pride. In reality, the buck may be lost but the pride won’t be because they have just earned the loyalty of a customer for life. You give and people will give back….its really simple actually.

I’ve been writing about business people who get it mostly but read it again….and again….and see how it pertains to people who get it personally and socially. There really is no difference. People who get it make others happy and in turn make others want to do the same. I have actually seen that…..I mean it! OK…..its just something to think about.

I won’t get into people who don’t get it because its much more difficult to list all you can do wrong. Wait….what did I just say? I guess what I mean is that the list of things to do to show that you get it is not that extensive while there are so many things you can do to show you don’t. Does that make sense???

I hope it does because I am not going to write anymore.

Until the next time…..a business post is in order.

    Hi Laura,

    An enjoyable and to-the-point post. I found myself checking up on me to see if I “get it” or not… Hmm, there is someone I need to email… I’ll go and do it now.

    Thanks for the prod!

    Hi Laura,

    You have a very good, honest and friendly style of writing amd I enjoy reading your posts.

    This is no exception and you are so right. It would be great if we could tap into a stream of people who all ‘get it’, oh well we can but dream.

    thanks for sharing,

    Mal.
