Publisher's Synopsis
In today's era of the connections of social media, society is more disconnected than ever. A large percentage of the population uses at least one technology-based platform to connect with other people. Individual profiles on various social media sites have THOUSANDS of friends, connections, and followers. Yet people feel more isolated than ever before. Depression and suicide are at all-time highs. The metric for a good life vs. a bad life has become a comparison based on the social media posts of other people. Meanwhile, few people post or share honest day-to-day life issues, opting instead for sporadic highlights. As connected as we have become, via technology platforms, miscommunication has become more frequent, and individuals are feeling more isolated than they ever were in the past. Relationships are still fundamental to the human psyche. At the fundamental core of business, people buy from other people! This book was written predominantly for professionals in sales capacities, but anyone who is open to building relationships to make life (and business) better will find benefit in these written pages. The ideas in this book are simple, small steps that can be taken to help connect with people and build stronger, lasting relationships. This book is a quick read with a few short exercises to help remind you of the people who want to hear from you, and give you ideas on how to reach out.
