Selling Youself !

Insults and leadership has been the subject of a recent blog entry of the Harvard Business Review. The essence of this message is that the curse can be constructive and has been successful among workers on the basis of a 2007 study published in the Journal of organizational leadership and Yehuda Baruch and Stuart Jenkins of the University of the East.

Vowing influence still reflects its core values and overall positive business ethics. If many of us swear to private or out loud or only in our minds. This action allows us to frustration and negative energy. But the question is, do you swear that if a seller when you are in sales or marketing activities, and most importantly will be to increase sales?

While thinking about recent events such as the recent statements of President Obama in a television interview with Matt Lauer and my own experiences in corporate America, I wondered if the study examined gender, age and industry? The experience of more than 20 years in a very male dominated industry (pipes, valves and accessories), I heard a bunch of “salty conversations with many apologies to frustrated pipe fitters to buyers who engaged heir tongues before engaging their brains.

For me, swearing in front of customers, potential customers (aka perspective) and centers of influence is very happy to tell a dirty joke. No dirty jokes, because if a woman, listeners (receivers), I see it differently than a man who shared the same joke without consequences. This observation is based on my age and more than 40 years in the workplace.

The use of profanity in the business, including interactions with colleagues to reflect my opinion, his intelligence or lack thereof. I personally believe that given the breadth and depth of English there are many words best used in critical situations.

From this perspective, the dealer, not to swear or leadership through my definition of professionalism that your leadership has to do with securing the desired results with positive values (business ethics), or increasing sales. Many will disagree and that’s fine, because if we all agree on everything, life would be very boring.

I personally have never had a training in sales coaching cursing insurance sales success. Since corporate training and consultancy have virtually any topic related to the possible use of sales and marketing, this may indicate why swearing is not really a good performance to show.
