I learned this a long time ago. I try to always greet and say good morning or good afternoon to all that I come in contact with. A friendly face and friendly word can set the tone for a conversation; can spread a few kind words or even open doors in the not so distant future. The truth is that it takes no effort, and makes you and the recipient feel good. I told a friend a month ago that the power of the word is amazing, but the power of your actions is lasting. Saying Good Morning or Good Afternoon combines both words and actions. Give it a try!
One day, I was in one of my client’s buildings, and saw someone I didn’t know. Of course I said “Good Morning” and offered a smile. I introduced myself, and he did the same, saying that he worked for Professional Renovation Services. I passed my business card, and said if you would like to meet sometime, I would welcome the opportunity, but in the meantime, have a great day. This random sincere gesture, resulted in a phone call from his company, resulted in a new client and our first job doing post construction work with our new customer, and resulted in a new partner in Professional Renovation Services. This is the type of company that you wouldn’t normally get exposure to, but I can say that the work and innovation that they do can be from quality to hip and urban. Welcome PRS to the Royal Services family of partners!
Did you say Good Morning or Good Afternoon Yet?
