Know When to Pull and When to Push
“A man will be imprisoned in a room with a door that’s
unlocked and opens inwards; as long as it does
not occur to him pull rather than push.”
Ludwig Wittgenstein 1919 -1990, Austrian – British Philosopher
As I see it . . . . . . .
Know when to pull and when to push
You have to know when you have to push yourself to take the next step . . . . to become better . . . . and to take on a new assignment . . . . To get additional education . . . . or to reach greater levels of success.
Customers love to buy . . . . but they don’t like to be sold or pushed.
A customer that’s pushed will reach a point in the business relationship . . . . where they become uncomfortable. They will either mentally withdraw from the relationship . . . . or stop returning your calls . . . . and end the communications. But in either case . . . . it creates a push back by the customers and . . . . the business opportunity is lost.
The key is to know your customer . . . . and know when to pull . . . . and when to push.
The soft approach to a successful business relationship is to reach out to your customers lend them a helping hand and . . . . pull them forward. Mentor them . . . . and guide them through the business relationship.
By using a soft approach . . . . you are pulling our customer forward in a series of steps. Some will be small steps . . . . and others will turn out to be a giant step forward.
By pulling your customers forward . . . . The relationship will evolve and grow into one of rapport and mutual trust which will become the bedrock of a successful business relationship.
Know when to pull and when to push . . . . and you will put yourself in the position to help your customers . . . . To achieve their goals . . . . and for you to reach yours.
