What is the error?
This mistake is right under our noses, but we do not want to notice and admit it. This is one of those few mistakes in relationships that can quickly destroy even the strongest, friendly ties, Ukr.Media informs.
What is the error? We sell something to friends. We sell to the people closest to us. We do not give for use and we do not give away, we do not exchange and we do not give away. We just sell. We sell our services, products, we sell our creativity and much more.
Here is a life story for you.
Vasyl is an artist, and Peter is his friend. Vasyl organized an exhibition and invited Petro to the event. At the entrance, Peter was told that he had to pay money for the entrance. Peter turned around, left and never spoke to Vasyl again.
Or another story for you.
Maria sold Daria a dress. It is twice as cheap, because I have used it myself several times. Maria convinced Daria that it was a good purchase, but after the first wash, the dress was ruined. Daria washed according to all the rules and logically asked Maria to return the money. Maria refused, and the friends quarreled.
These are the simplest and most understandable examples. The tip of the iceberg. Unfortunately, when we sell something to friends and people closest to us, we forget one very simple, but very important point. In friendship, we expect from a person completely different from what we expect in business, social and commodity-monetary relations.
We don't want to be sold to, we want to receive just like that. Against the background of good friendship and our joint actions. As soon as friends start selling us something, to a greater or lesser extent, we begin to feel irritation and resistance.
Consciously or not, we understand that a person puts us above the light feelings of friendship, wants to make money from us and improve his life at our expense. Even if in exchange we will have what we like. After all, a person does not want to give us just like that. She wants to sell it to us.
Moreover, friendship is destroyed especially quickly against the background of clever persuasion, when we allow ourselves to be tricked and buy something that we could do without. Or they could find it elsewhere at a better price. And the thing is not that after a while we may stop liking the purchase or it may not suit us for various reasons.
And our friendship instantly flies away when we do something for a friend free of charge, free of charge and from the bottom of our hearts. And he, in turn, instead of an appropriate and selfless reaction, tries to make money from us.
Want to sell something? Use special services for sale, which you can easily find on the Internet. Do you want to attract new customers? Learn about marketing, special technologies and points of sale. Sell to anyone but not your friends!
There is something to think about, dear readers.
