CHAPTER 39

Roll Out the Charm

Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can't, and the other half who have nothing to say and keep on saying it.

  -- ROBERT FROST

Your ability to charm others will be like the cherry on the parfait, socially, and money in the bank, professionally. Think of the enormous value your newly acquired charm will have in your social world. You will make new friends easily, be the person everyone would like to talk to at a party, delight your friends and family, and charm the pants off total strangers.

The Key to Advancement

In the business world, can you imagine the advantages your charm skills will give you? You will make more sales to customers who are eager to buy from you. You will negotiate more effectively, buying at lower prices and selling at higher prices.

Your company will make you the key person to meet important business contacts. Your colleagues and superiors will look forward to spending time with you because they value you not just for your intelligence but for your charm as well.

You will be paid more and promoted faster. Your personal and market value will be higher than you could ever have expected before. People who can help you will open doors for you, and opportunities to advance will increase.

Now it is all up to you. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Who doesn't enjoy being with someone who seems to appreciate them, cares about them, listens to them, responds to them -- who makes them feel important and treasured? Who doesn't like to spend time with a charming person?

Don't you?
