Communicate

IN MY OPINION:

WILLIAM REYNOLDS:

Reality ChecK: Communicate, communicate, and communicate some more

Most of the younger generation loves to text-message and use Facebook. But what they suck at compared to the other generations is responding to emails and answering phone calls.

It's been my experience, as well as many others, the number one reason people miss out on an opportunity is because they are horrible at communicating. More importantly, they are horrible at communicating through the normal channels most business folks are used to: email and phone.

Make sure you are on top of things and that you respond to people in a timely fashion. It will make you look great, and it will help you keep your clients and prospects happy. It could be the one move that changes your career goals.
