Just stop and think for a moment about those who live on the third world. Much of what we take for granted as a basic part of our everyday lives, to them is a luxury even beyond many of their dreams. For that one reason (and many others lust like it), that group of people need to be taught better and more cost effective ways of digging wells, building water storage and treatment facilities as well as constructing the network to provide the necessary water supplies to the villages. Those who have this "knowledge" - have "power". Likewise, in every part of our everyday lives those who have other forms of "knowledge", also have this "power". Power is something others Want for Themselves – read on Power is not (as most if us tend to believe it to be), a form of manipulation, dominance or control mechanism. Each of those are the misuse of power. No, having power simply means you have something that others want for themselves. • Others want to be in the presence of those that are happy, kind, courteous, understanding and loving - they feel warmed by that person’s presence. • Others want to be in the presence of positive, enthusiastic, confident and creative people - they want to be likewise. • Others want to be in the presence of skilled, educated and knowledgeable experts in their field - they can learn from them. • Others want to be in the presence of the rich, powerful and successful - some innovative secret may just rub off from them. • And yet others just want to be in the presence of the people with a vibrant, effervescent and contagious personality - it makes them feel alive and happy. The seller is the person who needs to develop a good deal of these qualities. And the more he or she has accomplished, the better the selling becomes. However, the seller too has something the prospect wants - a product that will improve a lifestyle, enhance productivity or increase profits - that too is power. Use it wisely.
