Do you really know?

Several times we think we know certain things because we heard, read, saw something somewhere. Well not always this might be right.

Check certain myths busted...

• The idea that goldfish have more than 24 hour memory span
  
• Dogs can distinguish blue, grey and yellow
  
• Rabbits should always be given carrots or that cats should be given milk are also potentially harmful
  
• Larger animals sometimes bully their smaller neighbors

This brings to my intent of posting. Do you know your Target Group well? Do you know your main business purpose? Do you still believe in certain myths? What should you do to gain this knowledge? Do you keep yourself updated?

It's Ok to lie!

It's OK to lie -- just a little. Not really. Lies have an interesting way of catching up with you. Whether you are lying to your manager, co-worker or your prospects, you will find it's really much better to tell the truth -- even if you risk losing an account.

As a salesperson, your reputation and credibility is the key to success. Be truthful with everyone, even on minor issues so that you will be trusted throughout your relationships.

I think this applies to normal people as well, across functions. Credibility and integrity are the only assets that you carry with you all the time. Its more relieving to go to bed with your conscience clear, knowing that you are not a crook.
