We are much happier at work when we quickly gain the attention of those who will buy our products, provide resources, or grant a promotion.

Whether you are an entrepreneur, employee or manager, you will increase your joy on the job when you quickly and succinctly communicate your unique talents and the special services you can provide. People have increasingly short attention spans, so discover how to enchant your listener instantly.

Identify your primary audience and practice capturing their attention. Emphasize specific positive results you can contribute. Here are a couple of examples.

* ASK FOR A RESOURCE

"As soon as you make the XYZ resource available, I'll be able to produce _________."

Note: This is short and sweet. It requires no begging. Stick with "This is what I need and here are the benefits you'll receive."

* REQUEST FOLLOW THROUGH

"Thanks in advance for getting other team members to turn in their supply requests on time. This will guarantee that everyone's needs are met, including yours."

Note: An advance "Thank you" is a powerful motivator. It emphasizes a positive working relationship. This technique also provides reassurance that the needs of everyone concerned will be met, including the person you are asking to assist you.

* SELL YOUR ABILITIES

Be open to the sweet surprises that emerge when we are conscious enough to perceive spontaneous events that can generate brand new opportunities. Practice a 30-second elevator speech that will grab a listener's attention.

The following is an example of how to sell your abilities by highlighting benefits for your audience.

"I help employees, managers, and entrepreneurs instantly enjoy more fun and fulfillment at work. Testimonials from my clients confirm that my work escalates productivity and boosts employee retention."

Note: The above short elevator speech emphasizes benefits received by specific groups. Client testimonials and evidence of positive changes in the organization enhance credibility. I use this strategy because the testimonials and evaluations I collect allow others to sell me as much as I sell myself.
