here's a simple tip to gain more respect in life and in business
first is be kind instead of overly nice when you're too chatty and too giving early on before you even know someone
it causes people to subconsciously respect you less instead be cordial be kind and be direct and let people earn your respect instead of focusing on just winning them over
second is focused on being interested not interesting
focus on learning about enlisting what that other person does what they do instead of sitting there trying to convince improve your worthiness to them
people that say less and are poised and listen not only do they become more intriguing to other people but people don't know what to expect so they're nicer
more respectful and they're more giving early on because they're trying to get you to like them
