Professionalism in Business

Professional Behaviours: Professionalism in business all about is showing up when you said you would. It’s about doing what you said you would do. It’s about being willing to listen and to really hear what is said. Professionalism is the ability to be agile in how you respond the information you are given.

There is absolutely no point in providing an unsolicited solution to a problem you have only guessed that exists. All you will do by promoting such a business idea is increase the recipient’s resistance. To keep ploughing on forward in this manner incrementally increases resistance not only to this endeavour but also to future enterprises, even if those ones might have had mileage in them.

During the festive season, it is just about possible to get away with gifting a present that is a ‘guess’ to a distant relative. It is the thought that counts and it can count for a lot to be thought of. It is not, however, forgivable to be charging for a service in the real world that was neither solicited or needed. Professionalism is about listening. To guess only risks discrediting your service, your business, and even your sector, so, resist doing it.

Professionalism in business isn’t about you, it’s about what you can bring to them. Professionalism in business is about their business, their problems and challenges and it’s about their hopes, dreams and successes.

When you create success for them, you create lasting success for yourself. When you create success for them you also gain the satisfaction of ticking all the boxes. That’s ethical, enjoyable and sustainable business behaviour.
