David ,
I liked what yo had to say in this blog, and find myself turned off by people who seem to be trying way too hard. The most important part about engaging someone is the listening…. and that doesn’t happen when they are so focused on selling themselves.
I’m in sales an have learned through years of trial and error that all I need to do is listen ,find out what a person’s needs are and then hopefully our product can fill those needs. If not then why waste each other’s time? Another key is to take the pressure off… you can never get someone hear you properly when they suspect they are being “sold”.
You say it so well David: ” let me get to know all of the parts of you and then I can make an informed decision” . So the lesson here is to not be so goal oriented, realx and enjoy the interaction? I llike that approach

Good luck with the house hunting and have fun with it.

I was at this bootcamp. It was great to this guy’s growth during the three days! We all grew, but he exploded and it started with this approach.

>>>>>>>I’ve been checking on it like everday.

like???? How about “I’ve been checking on it everyday”?????It is amazing how many times younger folks these days have the world “like” come out of their mouths! I was sitting at Panera the other day and in the next table these young college students (they must have been freshmen) started talking and, for fun, I counted how many “likes” I heard come out of their mouths in 5 minutes……….Well, I had trouble keeping up, I had to give it up when I crossed 60….yes 60 likes….like what’s up with that:-)

I can understand a few likes where they belong….but, for the ladies here, saying like every third word is a turnoff…for me at least. Other than that, good morning everyone:-)

Hi David W,

i little confused sometimes, People used to said “IT’S ABOUT HOW WE SELL OURSELF”….. but again and again i read your blogs you have mentioned..

“Life is not about negotiations. Life is not about selling yourself. Life is about presenting the best version of yourself based on who you are and your confidence.”

it is very true. I have found many peoples i talked with they just know how to sell them self without getting know more other people. It really turn me off!

Hey David, thanks for all the blogs and videos.
I just happened to come across one of your videos on youtube about 2 weeks ago. I was hooked instantly and then I pretty much watched all of them within 3 days haha. It’s awesome that you’re not just teaching people about dating but also how to be a better person. I’m so gonna sign up for a group bootcamp when after I graduate from college with enough of money saved up. It’s gonna be great. You’re not planning on retiring anytime soon are you? I sure as hell hope not. :]
When is the forum coming? I’ve been checking on it like everday.
