Motivational Power Quote

Know When to Pull and When to Push

“A man will be imprisoned in a room with a door that’s unlocked

and opens inwards; as long as it does not occur to

him pull rather than push."

Ludwig Wittgenstein 1919 -1990, Austrian – British philosopher  

As I see it . . . . . . .

Know when to pull and when to push

We have to know when we have to push ourselves to take the next step, to take on a new assignment, to get additional education or to reach greater level of success.

Customers love to buy but they don’t like to be sold or pushed. A customer that’s pushed will reach a point in the business relationship where they become uncomfortable. They will either mental withdraw from the relationship or stop returning our calls and end the communications.  But in either case it creates a push back by the customers and the business opportunity is lost.

The soft approach to a business relationship is to reach out to your customers lend them a helping hand and pull them forward, mentor them and guide them through the business relationship.

By using a soft approach we are pulling our customer forward in a series of step some will be small and others will turn out to be a giant step forward.

By pulling our customers forward the relationship will evolve into one of rapport and mutual trust which will become the bedrock of a successful business relationship.

Know when to pull and when to push and you will put yourself in the position to help your customers and to achieve your goals and to reach yours.
