In building relationships whether with clients in Real Estate, other areas of the workplace, with family or friends, or in life, a little seasoning of compliments never hurts. Be genuine. Find something good about someone, whether it be a trait, the way they dress, the new hair style.
Be creative.
A COMPLIMENT IS VERBAL SUNSHINE
Who would not like a sincere compliment to brighten up their day? It takes so little effort other than paying attention and catching that piece of admiration. Be a part of someone's fan club.
If you are an advanced compliment giver, master the art of second hand compliments. Say on someone else's blog what a great person this person was to you. Later you know they will find it and read it. Praise to other people in an office setting how wonderful someone is or something positive about them and catch that other person learning about it later. You will build rapport with people exponentially. Leave little post it notes or thank you notes anonymously or signed at their desk for a job well done. When you become the master genuine complimenter, you have hit the higher level of "connecting" with others. Not a bad character trait to have in a people business!!
