Oh, yes, how nice is that! It’s time for a concrete example, I can feel it in everything. This whole piece cries out (now!) for a concrete example. Rustagh! Example of an icebreaker I once visited a customer, a new contact. His desk was a mess, big piles of paper, books, envelopes, three cups of coffee, 2 of which still had a layer of coffee in them and exactly in that chaos there was still a place for a laptop. The man looks at me, looks at the chaos and says: “Yes, I just cleaned it up as you can see. Yesterday there was also a banana peel. I just cleaned that up. Tada!” I say, “That worked out pretty well, thanks for the effort.” I’m not saying this is the joke of the century, but a joke like this breaks the ice. The customer continues: “I have different qualities. For example, I can hold a ball up more than 40 times.” Yes, yes: you should have been there, but still. I think it’s funny.
Have To Prove and Justify
Playful. Nice. Another example: on a website of an entrepreneur I once read: ‘This is my e-mail address, please contact me. Spontaneous calls make me nervous, so after emailing we call. By appointment. Do you understand?’ If the rest of the website is full of strong texts where the expertise of the entrepreneur is described very strongly and I, therefore Jamaica Phone Number fully believe that she can help me lose weight, get my finances in order, or conduct the best job interviews with new employees , then I think such a joke is gold! Earlier I wrote why you should show yourself on your website. What you love, what you think is stupid, what gets you excited and what makes you drop out, that it’s important to share that in addition to describing your services well. By sharing your personality you immediately become a human being of flesh and blood. It’s attractive because everything else is so boring.
To Prove and Justify
With the use of self-mockery you present yourself strikingly. What can you joke about? Not everywhere, of course. If your company inspires people to work in a structured way with an empty inbox, then I wouldn’t joke about the fact that you regularly make a mess of your working life and currently have 321 emails unanswered and last night until a quarter past 1 was working. With a headache. And wine. And cigarettes. The one you stole from your son. Hashtag having a good time. If you help people with ‘more turnover’ and that is really your promise, then I wouldn’t joke that you now have quite disappointing figures for the 2nd month. “Haha!” Oh, better not. But if, for example, you are a sales trainer and you share a blunder from 3 years ago before you had all those insights with which you now help people, that is fine. Or you share that you still have CDs at home and put all 760 in alphabetical order.
