Since time began we have been told by the wise that giving is much more beneficial than receiving. There have probably been many occasions when you had a good reason to question that advice but even in those moments your higher self would probably agree with the concept. I came across something in a file I keep which suggests there is something you can give every day … that would provide you with great compensation.
It costs nothing, but creates much. It enriches those who receive, without impoverishing those who give. It happens in a flash and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.
None are so rich that they can get along without it, and none are so poor but are richer for its benefits. It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in a business and is the counter sign of friends. Your gift will provide rest for the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad and nature's best antidote for trouble.
Yet, it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen for it is something that is no earthly good to anybody till it is given away! And, if it ever happens that a salesperson should be too tired to give one of these to you, you may want to give them one of yours.
For nobody needs one of these so much as those who have none left to give.
This is a bit of a riddle isn't it? What on earth could provide so much for so little.
A SMILE - that's right, a smile.
Make up your mind to give a big one to every person you come in contact with today.
A smile … from ear to ear, and pay particular attention to the reaction you get from every person you give one to. Professionals who train people on the proper use of the telephone will tell you to smile when you are using the telephone and it will improve your effectiveness. :)

Every so often we should forget about work and relax and think about peaceful things that are going around us, and that’s why I am trying to help you to do that.
And NO I AM NOT JEHOVAH :)

Didn't come on here to forget about work. If I wanted to it'd be one of the last places id come.

Smiling has often got me into trouble,starting at school and then right through my life,sometimes i get the benefit of the doubt as they can`t work out whether i`m taking the mick or just a complete simpleton. In reality its both.

I find the latter is a bit uncomfortable :-[.

This thread is easily applied to window cleaning, which is probably why the mods haven't moved it.
A smile is an improtant skill that is used to reassure prospective customers that all is well. It helps to relax them while they make the decision whether to use you or not.
Also it helps to retain new customers who may still be a bit wary of having a stranger roaming freely about their property when they are out.
Over the past year I have had a string of new punters who have decided that they would rather do business with me, than the previous guy who was grumpy and sometimes even rude. Most of these have been happy to pay more money than they were previously.
In short a smile is good for business, it is good for the soul and it is good for the people aroud you. Don't knock it.

How can you tell which one is Elton`s kid in the nursery?
He`s the one who puts salt in his milk.
