A few years ago when I retired from retirement I got involved in a new way of marketing. Building marketing channels with social media.

I only had my old school of thinking skills that was good in the 80s. Grinding on social media is a form of spamming in the end and not fun for anyone.

I had too many people I knew who would go silent on me. Even those who showed some initial interest in my offers and proposals.

Here are some reasons why people go silent on you and a few tips if you want to create a serious organization:

✔ You are not listening to them. Tip: Get Chris Voss book ”Never Split The Difference” to learn how to negotiate and get them to say ”NO” first.

✔ They lost influence on their side of the table – somebody talked them out of it. Tip: Read Chriss Voss blog post ”The Top 4 ‘No-Oriented’ Questions” this will make your life so much easier.

Which one do you feel you’d need to put in place right away?

Would love to hear from you, leave that answer in the comment below.

Have a great day!

“The task of leadership, the first task of concerned people, is not to condemn or castigate or deplore; it is to search out the reason for disillusionment and alienation, the rationale of protest and dissent— perhaps, indeed, to learn from it.” — Robert F. Kennedy

If you plan to live up to your commitment to having a fantastic life, you’re going to need to stand up for yourself when conflicts occur. You can be ineffective at resolving conflicts, weather the resulting storms, and still be committed to your purpose— the commitment is the most important thing— but there are some skills you can learn that make handling conflict a whole lot easier.
