In any relationship, chemistry is important. Consider a first date. Both parties are on their best behavior, trying to figure out if they have a connection. Is it worth pursuing? The woman might try to impress her date by brushing up on her travel knowledge, while the man might try to woo his date by discussing his love of cooking. For anyone who has spent much time in the dating world, finding that right chemistry match can be brutal. There are great dates with an instant connection as well as very, very bad dates.
The same is true in business relationships between employees, clients and vendors. When considering new clients, we often decide whether to take on business based on the level of chemistry between our team and the client. We want to ensure an agreeable match so that no one is led astray or disappointed.
Additionally, when hiring new employees, our firm conducts group interviews to get a sense of whether chemistry exists between the candidate and current employees.
So what can you do to get to the second “date”? We’ve outlined a few steps worth considering to make a good impression and build a solid relationship in the professional world.
It would be nice if, when conducting business, you could simply plug your information into a site, find a match based on compatibility and determine whether you have good chemistry, like many dating sites claim to do. But for now, you’ll have to rely on the work you do and the relationships you are able to cultivate.
