Art of saying no in business? How not to say NO in business.

In business or in any relationship, saying NO is quite difficult for some people or very much easy for some. There are several versions of saying ‘NO’ which differ from person to person. The way you say ‘No’ does impact your relationship or your business in the long run. However, there are no rules of saying No, but how people behave for showing the decline expression is quite a funny observation.  Here are few observations- No means No- Rude way of saying NO- How would you relate this situation, if you are new in business and trying to reach out your potential targets, but you know the person you are dealing with is not at all willing to listen, no matter, how many times you call them they will bluntly say NO on your face without any human expression!  This is the Blunt way or rather a rude way of saying NO. They meant to say that you jerk, don’t you understand, I do not want what you sell, Get off! A silent No- Coward way of saying NO You know they like your product/soluti

How to do self-introspection?

At some point in time, it’s a kind of feeling which makes us realize that Hey, I am at the Cross-Roads! Where to go now? Which road needs to be taken to continue the journey? I think this is the conscious timing to retrospect our traveled paths or roads, and courageously follow the other roads . At the crossroads- you can actually follow the roads which you always wanted to travel, but somehow you dared not to consider that as a possible way. A small analysis of oneself at the crossroad can give a meaningful direction to your life. And it is that simple, you just need to find out the answers by yourself. Six roads (see table below) is the reflection of our life journey. We always start somewhere in our life. Our education, career, family, job, or business influence our decisions. Circumstances and events make us either realize our potentials or throw us in the valley of depression. But we always rely on something, and always want to try! Some self-introspection is always a

Business Strategy: Business War Games

The signs of wars are looming all over the world. Human civilization has always witnessed different kinds of wars in the history of the world. On the other hand, if you talk about life or a business, I guess both are the ‘battle fields’ where we are struggling to achieve the best of life and the business. Here, I am talking about one serious game, a Business War game! I know the next obvious question, what is it? If you take the literal meaning of the term Business War Game then you are right, it is a game that will make you either a winner or a loser in your business. Sometimes, we hear or read news about losses in business, merging or acquisition of companies by some other companies, etc. There are articles or analyses on the acquiring companies, but very little is stressed on the acquired company. We only talk of victories or rather do not talk about the loopholes in businesses that propelled us to sell the business. When a business is at loss or something goes wrong or some

Brand Check and Customer Loyalty

Every other person on this planet must be using the Internet to access any kind of information, or perhaps, Internet mania has been grasping everyone’s mind nowadays. It has become a daily ritual to surf on Internet to enquire about the different products or online shopping or just to unlock the human curiosity about unknown/alien information! And everything is available online just with a click of a mouse. Internet is a hub of all information, and it is good to have some piece of information before actually buying products which definitely give some ideas about all the other products available in the market. When it comes to health-related issues; people are more conscious about the medicines and their uses/side effects! Especially the western world is keener on tackling health problems compared to developing countries, but, definitely, the number is increasing optimistically; thanks to the IT boom in India! On the other hand, the pharmaceutical companies are fuelling thei

How to set free your mind for more success in life.

Life is not a horse race then why do we need to put on blinders every day! Blinders are the kind of cups attached to the hood of a horse to keep him on the running track and avoid distractions. Horses do need to focus while they run in the race so their owners tie them with blinders. What about the blinders in our life and who ties them? The routine human life has become like a horse race where everybody keeps their imaginary blinders ‘ON’ all the time to focus on the track and avoid surrounding distractions. It has become such a routine practice that we never bother about our surroundings unless an emergency arises. Blinders do help us when we do some work or study, but we need to put them aside to see the world around us.  We walk straight, and always straight, and sometimes give exercise to our neck while crossing the roads or to see something unusual. We need to get rid of these blinders from our life! Just see the world from your perspective, and forget about the f

How to stay motivated at workplace- What leaders can do to keep their employees happy and motivated

                                                                 “People need the motivation to work efficiently”; indeed a true fact! Why does this happen with every human being? Work, family, and stress have overshadowed the human consciousness! In the race of earning, we have left our all self belongings aside our working table and doing effortless work to bear with the global competition, irrespective of the profession. Competition with colleagues, competition with rival company companions, and so on!! The race does not seem to get a full stop! The human civilization has given a very different curve to life; earlier it was only food, clothes, and shelter, which mattered most, but now the human race has come all the way away from the "THE BASIC NEEDS" of life and is continuing journey towards status, quality and luxury!!! The workplace has become the second home for every earning person on this planet (courtesy to those who work from home), and it is the need of th
