How To Business... Working With Others: BizBit #1 - Be Nice To The Gate-Keeper

Working With Others: Bizbit #1 - Be Nice To The Gate-Keeper

You should always be nice, but especially to the front desk and assistants; the reasons are primarily because their opinions count too.

If treated poorly it could damage the future of your business relationships and people in these positions may not always be just "gatekeepers".

The latter is what I want to focus on, the gatekeepers typically graduate to being the ones on the inside of the gate. Sylvia Rhone, now one of the most powerful people in the music industry, started out as a receptionist and Albert Einstein started as a patent clerk.

The point is everybody starts somewhere, box boys graduate to driving Boxsters and calling the shots and if being nice is who you are, you'll be nice all the time, but in business, often times, it really does pay to be nice!
