Creating a good impression

Importance of making others feel important!

Considering we all want two things out of life : Success and Happiness. The common denominator to achieving both is other people. Merely getting along isn't the answer, what counts is having the skill to deal with them that brings us personal satisfaction.

The Art of Dealing with People

<ul><li>Acceptance :- A critical, fault finding person, who always sees where people fall short usually suggests a remedy and is never going to be stampeded by others.

Developing an Attractive Personality

People react and respond in a like manner to the attitude and action expressed by others. You have to adopt the attitude you want others to express. Put magnetism in your personality.<ol><li>Watch your walk; your physical actions express your mental attitude.</li><li>Firm your handshake with just a little squeeze in it as it denotes self confidence and says "I've got a firm grasp of things."</li><li>Morderate your tone of voice.</li><li>Use the magic switch of smile.</li></ol>Begin today. Speak out. Watch your posture. Hold your head up. Walk with a confident step as if you have somewhere important to go to.

Controlling The Actions And Attitudes Of Others

During a disagreement, we must make our natural response persuasion instead of argument. The only way to win an argument is to get others to change their minds.Rules for winning arguments :-<ol><li>Allow others to state their case. Allowing them to vent reduces their hostility.</li><li>Slightly pause before you answer. </li><li>Don't insist on winning 100%. Give in on minor and unimportant points here and there.</li><li>State your case moderately and accurately.</li><li>Speak through third parties.</li><li>Allow others to save face. "I felt the same way about the at first, until I saw this which changed the picture."</li></ol>

Getting People to Agree

Giving Praise

"For ease of application - Imagine as if they are the last person standing on the earth other than you, wouldn't they be important?"</li><li>Notice Others. When you're dealing with a group, try to acknowledge everyone in the group.</li><li>Don't compete with people. The most effective way to make a good impression on others is to let them know you're impressed by them. </li><li>Know when to correct others. "Does it make any real difference whether they're right or wrong?" </li></ol>PS :- Don't try to win all the little battles!

4 Ways to make others feel important - 

One of the most common failings in human relations is the way we attempt to increase our own feeling of self worth by lowering the self esteem of others. "I'm telling you this for your own good", no we're not!Look at criticism in a new light.<ol><li>It must be made in absolute privacy.</li><li>Preface it with a kind word or compliment.</li><li>Make criticism impersonal; criticize the act, not the person.</li><li>Supply the answer, tell them how to do it right.</li><li>Ask for cooperation; don't demand it.</li><li>Only one criticism per offense; twice is unnecessary; thrice is nagging.</li><li>Finish in friendly fashion. "I know I can count on you."</li></ol>

Criticizing others without offending them

It's seldom we find an actually helpful self-help book, most of them are killers.

What is the one quality that all successful people have in common? They have mastered the art of dealing with people! Let this book show you how to: <ul><li>Achieve your goals </li><li>Handle the human ego </li><li>Become a master conversationalist </li><li>Make others feel good about themselves </li><li>And much more! </li></ul> Skill
 with people is the one essential ingredient for success and happiness 
at home and in business. "The Art of Dealing With People" gives you the 
skills to take your people skills to a level that you never thought 
possible! Skill in human relations is similar to skill in any 
other field, in that success depends on understanding and mastering 
certain basic general principles. You must not only know what to do, but
 why you're doing it. As far as basic principles are concerned, 
people are all the same. Yet each individual person you meet is 
different. If you attempted to learn some gimmick to deal successfully 
with each separate individual you met, you would be face with a hopeless
 task. Influencing people is an art, not a gimmick. When you 
apply gimmicks in a superficial, mechanical manner, you go through the 
same motions as the person who "has a way," but it doesn't work for you.
 The purpose of this book is to give you knowledge based upon an
 understanding of human nature: why people act the way they do. The 
methods presented in this book have been tested on thousands of people 
who have attended my human relations seminars. They are not just my pet 
ideas of how you should deal with people, but ideas that have stood the 
test of how you must deal with people. That is, if you want to get along
 with them and get what you want at the same time. Yes, we all 
want success and happiness. And the day is long past, if it ever 
existed, when you could achieve these goals by forcing people to give 
you what you want. And begging is no better, for no one has respect for,
 or any desire to help, the person who constantly kowtows and literally 
goes around with his hand out, begging other people to like him. The
 one successful way to get the things you want from life is to acquire 
skill in dealing with people. Download now and you will learn how.
