I could never stomach the arm-twisting techniques some promoted for face-to-face or telephone selling. Who wants to joust with someone who doesn’t even want to speak with you?

Giving is THE easiest way to build trust, authority and a meaningful relationship. Sure some people might advantage of it but you’ll surprised how most people are really not out there to screw you over.

Another way to do it is to keep everything for yourself then use some marketing ju-jit-su to sell. But that’s just too much work for me.

I find this research with toddlers to be very interesting, and it raises difficlt questions for me. I can look at everything and do, and point to something I get out of it. Even if that getting out of it is a “good” feeling, I think, in the end, I am doing it for that good feeling.

It is intersting that the toddlers are doing this only when it is evident that there is a need. I really wonder what’s going on here…

I think you’re right–give, give, give and it will come back around.

That’s a recipe for mutual “dissatisfaction.”

[...] This argument has been made in regard to online marketing in many forms, as if it were a new thought. The relentless focus on “what’s in it for them”; the “give before you get” ethos of many online businesses; the fanaticism of many bloggers in answering their commenters questions — these are all attempts to create a community of equals. And it’s not just about making people feel comfortable so you can part them from their money — there’s something exhilirating for both sides when you feel you are talking to an equal, although (or because) it’s just pretend.
