Resuming the list of conducts for approaching your list (I guess this makes this sort of a list list):
4. Be Respectful-You should have a high belief that what you are offering can absolutely make a difference in the other person's life. You should be enthusiastic about it, bold in your proclamations, and unwaivering in your opinion. This is good...actually it's great! However, not everyone you approach is going to feel the same way that you do. People very likely have the need that you are addressing, but they may not be open to solving it right now, they may not recognize it fully yet, they might be in denial, or they simply might be complacent, or too preoccupied or whatever else it is that they are. You don't have to agree with their position...you just have to be respectful. Even if you think they are crazy for not at least learning about what you have to offer, you cannot show this. This will go hand in hand with no pressure...when you demonstrate respect, people will remember this and they will also reciprocate (remember that the person with the higher level of conviction always wins long run). Sooner or later they will come to reality about their need.
5. Be Humble-Yes, I just told you to be bold and now I am telling you to act with humility. Why? Because it's the best way to behave. To understand the power of humility you need only consider it's opposite (in my opinion) which is arrogance. Arrogance is disgusting to most people. When an arrogant person falls...the people that see it smile to themselves (or they might outright applaud) and think "he got what he deserved" and walk away. When a humble person falls, that same person will rush to help them up. When you have humility, people will be very receptive to you.
6. Have a serving nature-You need to make it clear that your interest is in helping the other person through what you are offereing. Yes, you are in business, and all businesses need to make money in order to stay in business, but you want people to fully get that your goal is to serve them.
This is enough for you to digest today...each one of these six are very important individually and if you master only one of them can be helpful...however when this becomes your "way" you will have made yourself an incredibly attractive person to do business with.
