I. Talk to people. There is nothing quite as nice as being greeting with a friendly, “hello.”
II. Smile. Because it is so much easier. Did you know it takes seventy-two muscles to frown and only fourteen to smile? Go the easy route. Smile.
III. Call people by their name. Everyone wants to be remembered. Don’t you?
IV. Be nice. Pretend you are having a good time when all else fails.
V. Take an interest in others. People want to feel valued and appreciated.
VI. Heap on the praise. We lose nothing by thanking people and telling them how good they are.
VII. Be stingy with criticism. We can lose a lot with critical comments.
VIII. Try empathy. If you were in their “shoes” what would you do?
IX. Think before speaking. A single moment of thought can save a relationship.
X. Help. If someone needs something run to assist them.
