			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>&#8220;How can I help&#8221; is a great question to ask more than once.</strong></span></p>
<p>Finding ways to be of service to people is simple if you can sincerely ask the question &#8220;how can I help?&#8221;.  The problem is most us, if we ask it at all, are doing so to be polite instead of to be of service.  Take that question seriously when you ask it, and do what you can to be of service to people. Your fortunes will change when you can offer help without expecting an immediate return on your time and effort.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>&#8220;The best way to make a friend is to be a friend.  The best way to be a friend is to be of service.  And, the best way to be of service is to put your agenda aside and help someone with no strings attached&#8221;.<br />
</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Most people who I see under-achieving in sales are doing so because they are putting the cart before the horse.  They focus too much on making a sale and not enough of making a friend.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">It&#8217;s natural to do this since most of us are under pressure to make quota, or pay overhead, but the fact remains that many opportunities are missed when you view people as transactions instead of opportunities for a relationship.  If you make the sale and someone feels &#8220;sold&#8221; they are less likely to make a referral.  The truth is referrals could be worth more than the initial sale because you&#8217;re being introduced instead of cold calling.</span></p>
<p>The next time you&#8217;re inclined to make a sale, try making a friend first.</p>
