1. Personalize Interactions
Personalization is the key to standing out in the market. Operating as a cold or transactional partner is not what the market is calling for today. If you view your prospective customers or clients as a cash source only, there is little incentive to select you over a competitor. Today’s modern client wants to be seen, heard and understood—not just used in an exchange. – Stefanie Ricchio, SRBC Inc.
1. Have Agenda-Free Conversations
I would encourage a client to have regular agenda-free conversations with a variety of people, be curious about them, avoid pushing, selling or promoting, be driven by a genuine interest in exploration and stay open to what emerges. We never know what connections may form, where ideas can be generated and what possibilities may open. So stay open, stay curious and invest time. – Alessandra Marazzi, Alessandra Marazzi GmbH
1. Be You
Introversion is a personality trait related to how you get and restore energy.

You might have to claim some airtime from the extroverts, though. – Moe Carrick, Moe Carrick
1. Learn A Lesson When You Make A Mistake

Be optimistic about the lesson and realize that it’s not about whether the glass is half full or half empty but that we can fill it up. Mistakes happen, errors happen, loss happens—great. What did you learn from it? The strategy is to get up and keep going. There is always another path, period. – Shelley Smith, Premier Rapport
