No matter how many compliments your client or team gives you, don’t let it get to your head.
A Salesforce consultant doesn’t usually work alone. They are typically surrounded by abled people, aligned with the same vision as you: be successful. (Note: If this is not the case, you have a fundamental issue to resolve)
When you receive a compliment, accept it graciously. A simple “Thank you” will do. But consider taking the opportunity to thank your team as well.
On some days, they make you look good. On other days, you make them look good. A strong team supports each other. They don’t step on other’s backs to climb higher.
So after the “thank you”, consider adding,
- “I’m lucky to work with a great team”
- “It was a team effort”
- “Without the efforts of the entire team, we wouldn’t be as successful”
The takeaway
Being humble is attractive and further builds trust with clients. They see you’re not an ego-driven individual and has awareness of the contributions of others
