| | Defining The Qualities of A ProfessionalWritten by Raju Gavurla
In today's business climate we are experiencing more interest in professionalism. The past five years provided many successes; however, most have been overshadowed by non-ethical behavior of a few. Some people lost most of their retirement savings, and US population is demanding a stronger US economy and a peaceful world. We've seen quality job opportunities decreasing and need for profits has many projects being partially or wholly completed overseas. Many employees are traveling to other offices in US because of lack of projects locally. If they choose not to travel, they are being asked to take vacation or risk being laid off. In tough times, I look to fundamentals to help right path. One fundamental factor more prevalent in daily dialogue and business consists of defining qualities of a professional. Some define a professional as a person who is being paid for a service. True, we require money to trade. However, some get paid by doing illegal activities. To simplify, you can be or recognize a professional when three qualities are present. The first quality is trustworthiness. When you meet a person for first time you immediately associate a level of trust with person and their service. If person happens to come via a recommendation, then usually trust is greater. Regardless, just as relationships develop so does level of trust. People that associate with each other on a high trust level know how to talk to one another and provide reasons service they are representing can be beneficial. Knowing how to talk to one another is more than mannerisms. It is ability to motivate one another to create positive results. Additionally, your involvement and input in your company, associations, volunteerism, charity work, and political ideas and opinions help develop trust. Not necessarily because two people agree on an issue but because somewhere on this path a common trust level evolves and continues to evolve as you share experiences. When trust is present, people will buy from you or recommend your service.
