Tell me something GOOD!
What if there was ONE phrase that you could use each day that would position you for growth and success? On this episode of #SellingWithSocial, Steve goes over a key practice that will help you adopt a growth mindset and start making important connections today. According to Steve, it all comes down to how you begin a conversation. Most people start with “How are you doing today?” or some other variation of that question. Steve explains that there is an emotional and psychological power that you can unleash by changing that typical and boring question to “Tell me something good.” When you make this subtle shift, you are communicating that you are a person who is positive and open to hearing about the good things going on in the individual’s life.

Do you realize that we communicate a significant portion of our attitude, thoughts, and emotions through our non-verbal cues? Imagine as you begin a conversation with someone that part of the way through the conversation, they begin to scroll through their phone. They didn’t say that they weren’t interested in what you had to say but what are they communicating with their actions? On this episode of #SellingWithSocial, you’ll hear how one simple change to your nonverbal cues can have a huge impact on how people perceive you. Pulling from his years of sales experience, Steve shares how focusing on presenting a smile can go a long way in communicating that you are friendly, trustworthy, honest, and pleasant. It sounds like a small change but imagine how you would feel going into a meeting with people who aren’t’ smiling compared to one where people are smiling? Doesn’t the smiling group sound like a better place to start? Go deeper with this topic and much more from Steve on this episode!
Make Your Network WORK for You!

My LinkedIn account was ranking on the first page for best mommys blog keyword quite a few years back and I didn’t have any idea. While working, I stumbled upon the Analytic section of LinkedIn and saw that most of the visitors are coming from search engine later on I realized that in my profile I’ve used “Mommy’s blog” word a lot of time and that is the reason why it was ranking well on SERP. This is how I came to know about SEO and I was also amazed by the fact that how easy it was to rank for competitive keywords back then. Anyways loved your article and please share more tips on SEO.
