Do You Think You Appeal To The People On The World Wide Web?

Hi Midori, interesting post. Will have to connect to your link to learn more baout the worldwide web.

I have lived around the world and appreciate people from many different cultures and walks of life. I can't say, however, that I have readers from the world.... that would be great if I did!!!!  Love it :)

It's fun to get to know people over the internet in general, however, and I hope that eventually that will happen!

Midori - Everyone is deserving of respect.   ..."Treat Others The Way You Would Like To Be Treated!"  To me that's global thinking  says it all in so many situations.  We don't need to be the arrogant Americans. We can learn so much from people of other cultures and walks of life. 

We have home buyers from around the world.  They don't know a thing about American real estate matters.  Folks appreciate good real estate services irrespective their country of origin. 

The most difficult matter for some buyers to understand is the critical importance and power of the Contract of Sale. 

I try and keep alot of my personal opinion at bay on my work. I state facts or play and have fun stuff. Keep the opinions to yourself and know one knows what they are.

I think Kathy mcGraw is starting a European blog to attrack more international buyers. I try to make my posts clear, but I guess I never really thought about folks from around the world reading. They probably are because when I see my cluster map, it looks that way,

When I check my logs I can tell that I have incoming hits from locations outside the US.  Having lived in the Far East and Eurpore I'm aware of how different cultures react.  I'm surprised at some of the posts, especially those that state very strong political opinions, as even our local buyers or sellers may pass us by because of them.

Midori, This is a very god post andmakes 2 points to me. 1. Never judge anyone. There are many folks who would consider your scientist stupid becuase he doesn't talk "right". 2. Know who you are writing to. If it is an international base then you best be sure you know what you are doing.

Well done Midori.

Midori - Terrific post.  I have lived in Japan, Spain and UK and struggled with the languages.  Interestingly enough, it was more difficult for me in the UK than Spain and Japan, where people knew I was a foreigner and were quite patient.  In the UK, I had workmen and others literally scream at me in impatience because I could not follow their dialect.  

The world has gone global when we weren't looking.  How on earth did we get the idea that speaking more than one language is unpatriotic? 

I have been surprised at some of the political posts, even when I shared their views.  These were public posts and they just eliminated perhaps half of their readers as clients.

Good close with the Golden Rule.

Midori,

Your last statment was so profound!!!  Too often some people just forget how to be kind, and respectful to one another.  Great closing!!

Midori, you are right, way too many people forget that when they post an attack that people all over the world have access to it. Think before you type. Don't blog mad. Compose your thoughts. Be kind and honest. Thanks Midori.

Hi  Midori,

I agree it is global. I think people really miss out when they close there ears to others. I really like your work and sugestions keep up the good work.

No, I don't think I appeal to everyone. But... this is going to sound callous... I don't really care. It wouldn't do any good for me to try and work with people who won't understand me, nor will I know how to communicate with them. I try to stick to what I know, and do it to the best of my abilities. I think Jeffrey Gitomer teaches that. Do one thing, and do it we

That global thinking is biblical. It's the golde rule. "Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You". And if you don't get back what you expected, don't be a baby. Suck it up. Don't gossip. don't complain, and you WILL be blessed in some way or another.

Midori,

I am do not know if I appeal to others on the World Wide Web or not but I am working on it.  I trust that my friends here will tell me if I am missing it and where to improve.  I do try to treat others the way I would like to be treated tho.

Excellent point Midori.  The world is watching and reading.  It doesn't make sense to alienate potential customers because of insensitive communication.  I think that most people just don't think about it.
