Smile all the time (well as best as you can it makes a BIG difference) 6. Remember everyones name (practice nothing worse than forgetting a name...!) 7. Be a great listener (rule of Life...!) 8. Discuss the other persons interests (find out what makes them tick) 9. Make the other person feel important (compliment and praise, the best you can) 10. You cannot win an argument (you may prove a point, but what damage is done...?) 11. Show respect for the other persons opinions (judge people on their values) 12. Admit when you are wrong (quickly and openly, hard to do, but the benefits WOW..!) 13. Sugar (not vinegar) to attract more (be nice and friendly to everyone Why not...?) 14.
