Attract the Right Job or Clientele:

Promises Come In Variety ~ Are You Keeping Them?

We make promises all of the time.  Some are minimal in nature, such as offering to send a tweet, share a post, make a phone call, or read a chapter of someone else’s new book.  Given these promises are so teensy compared to others, it may not seem like a big deal if they aren’t kept, but that is far from true.  The reason is by not keeping your promises, people come to believe they cannot count on you.  Accordingly, this hurts your personal brand, as well as trust and faith in you.  The downward spiral hurts potential business too.

Apologize

Sometimes we just run out of time due to everything happening at once, or illness takes hold.  The best course of action to take is to make an apology for not yet having taken action.  Quickly offer a realistic date for completing the request.  This will return your credibility back to normal should you fulfill the favor on the new agreed upon date.

One poor example is that of “Leonard” offering to connect via an online video meeting.  The application was uploaded, and at the appointed time, I was awaiting his call.  But it never came.  An email was sent his way but no response came.  Although an apology and explanation were expected, by the end of the day, Leonard never responded.  I’ll be annoyed until I heard from him and then all will be forgiven.

Be Gracious

Grudges never solve anything but divides people into camps.  This is another way poor word of mouth is spread.  Graciousness in society is one of the best ways to build your brand reputation, business, and career.

On occasion, and with the attempt to do right by another, you are granted latitude that goes to further building the relationship.  My own example is of being sent an e-book to read.  It’s one from which I will derive much insight.  The problem was it was sent just prior to a coast-to-coast move, and then life took over.  Today, the gentleman offered to send a hard copy for me to read.  He can be assured his book will be at the top of priorities.  Most likely, when I complete the book, I will have further ideas for how we may work together.

Promise Yourself

The best promise is to the one to yourself that you will only undertake what you know may be completed in the expected timeframe.  Doing so will lead you to the Smooth Sale!
