The Ultimate Currency in Business: People Buy You
In today's hyper-competitive marketplace, products and services have become increasingly commoditized. When prospects can't distinguish meaningful differences between competing offerings, they make buying decisions based on who they prefer to work with. This simple truth forms the foundation of business success: people buy you. The pendulum has swung too far toward process and technology in recent decades. While systems have transformed business efficiency, they've also removed personal connection from many daily activities. As automation continues, workers with empathy and interpersonal skills now hold the competitive edge. Jobs requiring genuine human interaction remain valuable even during economic downturns, making relationship-building perhaps your most recession-proof skill. But this approach isn't about "selling yourself" through self-promotion. When we try to sell ourselves, it backfires. People hate being sold but love to buy. The distinction is crucial-people choose to work with you for their reasons, not yours. They select you because you solve their problems and make them feel valued. Three persistent myths hold many professionals back: "friends buy from friends" (you quickly exhaust your network), "people buy from people they like" (likability opens doors but doesn't close deals), and "you have to sell yourself" (which actually pushes people away). The reality? People make decisions emotionally first, then justify with logic. Understanding this process gives you tremendous leverage in business relationships.
