Be really interested in others

I have read so many times about being really interested in others. I never experienced that in life, may be not knowingly. After meeting a Diamond shop owner in fashion streets of Khader Nawaz Khan road, I went to meet another client who is more like a street vendor. May be I fail to see his noble character or he doesn’t have any, I personally don’t like to do business with peoples like him. But in my profession we cannot choose our clients we have to strive hard so as to get selected. As my job urges I went ahead to meet him in his shop. He is the owner of one of the biggest home appliance stores in TN. He also owns a jewellery shop in the busy streets of T-Nagar.
I just dropped in expecting humiliation to inquire about my CCTV proposal and he was busy speaking to other persons. I waited patiently with a smile till my turn come. All of a sudden a guy appeared before him and the owner screamed in his ears and barked him to come back after a week as he appeared a day before the appointment. That didn’t scare me and still wore my smile. When he turned to me he said the prices are so high and the person who stand next to him just called the old vendor and told him to visit the shop tomorrow saying that they are getting quotes from other vendors. Even though his talk stirred a bad feeling in my stomach, knowing it by sign the owner assured me that that vendor is not going to come as he is busy in another work. I convinced myself not to lose confidence I started speaking about general things. Then I focused my attention on the other person who is actually disturbing my business.
I was truly interested in him and asked about him and his business. I introduced myself and what my company is offering. I learned his interest and started speaking about that. I was right I got his attention and then I explained about our product. As one can expect from any cultured man who returns the courtesy he was interested in me and my products. He suggested the shop owner who is friend of him for a long time to go with this product for their other store. So I am experiencing it now. You can get to notice these in day to day life. My sincere advice start practicing and be interested !!!!
