Connected, but not the Same: Understanding Our Connections to Build Better Sales Relationships.

"We are all connected, our spiritual connections with nature and animals, but what makes us connect and how we can utilise this to build more productive relationships with each other to understand others in our sales and business lives."

This article will explore the idea of connection. We are a part of something bigger than ourselves that affects every aspect of life, from economics to personal connections. The first step is understanding how our connection manifests itself on an individual level through thoughts, feelings, emotions and beliefs. 

Our connection to the spiritual world can be a valuable tool in understanding each other and communicating better. The connection we have with nature, animals and even places where you may not know what is there. These connections allow us to make a deeper connection with others on an emotional level, enabling us to understand them more as people, empathise with their situation, and find a solution together that benefits both parties.

Here are some things that you can do to stay grounded and then impact other peoples lives so that you can serve them better.

Put yourself out of your comfort zone - 

A mastermind group, association or networking group will allow you to find people who are doing what you're trying to do and help you build solid relationships. 
Build a Facebook group, do free workshops or presentations so people can hear what you have got to say so that you can build your credibility up or guest blog. 

Connect with people one on one

It's not often that we get the opportunity to have a personal connection with someone, so when you do, it's essential to be genuine and ask questions.

Participate in the real world

Take time out to switch off from the digital world, make a conscious effort to break from your phone's distractions and be in the present moment. 
There is nothing more annoying than having a conversation with someone, and they're constantly checking their phones and not listening to the discussion. This can make or break and can lose potential business partners. 

Be your beautiful authentic self

If we try to be something we're not, the connection will go out the window. But if we just accept our true self--we know what makes us weak, nervous and vulnerable, but it doesn't define who we are--that sets a good foundation for connecting with others on a deeper level.

Open your heart

Connection sometimes comes with great pain, so you have to find a way to work through it. We often feel that we should be numb to all the hard feelings and suffer in silence. Brene Brown once said, "You can't numb the bad stuff without numbing the good stuff along with it."

Be open-minded

Building a long-lasting human connection requires time, commitment, and courage. It also takes two; one person willing to be imperfect for the long haul with another.

Dismantle the fear of disconnection and rejection.

Our fight-flight response systems teach us to fear rejection every day.
When we break it down, the connection is why we're all here, and we are all worthy of feeling that and knowing it. 
Once we learn about rejection and move on from our fear, we start to grow and learn more about ourselves and step over this. I
in sales and business, once you have learned this, you will be more successful and move on quickly to another opportunity and learn from the past to move forward.
