Cafe WIM Sussex Drive in 70’s, 80’s and 90’s was an unusual place, Wim. I hear that quite often. Give me an idea why so. We saw you standing at the door and instead of a polite, amicable chat about the rain, they are directed to the toilets. Really unusual.
A restaurateur has a genuine interest on a rainy day like to-day to mention toilette as a relief to the pushing in crowd through the door away from the rain. Falling water raises the urge to go there, wack out coats. To-day even this area is virtually dry. Seems a sensible thing, right?
OK, you got away from from ‘unusual.’ Now about genuine interest after we escalated from impeccable manners. Our children have already grown into well-formed human beings, what’s up for us.
You are virtually young for me in your 40’s or 50’s. Well, I mentioned the purposeful walk, the pleasant smile, the use of the outside of the feet, or didn’t I? Look at models on shows. Yet, not complete for success.
We recall that you, Wim said it would open doors.
Sure and once inside follow-up on your curiosity about the firm, the product, the creators. What happens when YOU are approached with genuine interest? Your “x-ray” said: genuine, followed by feeling good. Once you connect you follow-up again.
How?
Back home, put aside an absolute irresistible TV-show. Read all you can about your contact. Ask knowledgeable questions the next time. Genuine interest stems from curiosity. People who received you now have a warm interest in you.
So, good manners is for business, as your millionaire Mamma said?
You get ahead. You can grow a fortune. You can improve yourself. Iris my Partner visits the hospital everyday because she is curious about a special person there: genuine interest. A person staring at the ceiling. No visits. Imagine. Tell me if you visit a complete stranger.
Yes. Iris is unbelievable. We think she has grown into a treasure for that person.
Exactly that. May I assume for all of us as well?
Exactly that Wim.
Good night AND good morning Fine Guests and Staff Members everywhere.
