This priciniple really makes complete sense. If I was ever told something in error or someone did something that was a mistake and impacted me I would want to know as quickly as possible and not have them hide it from me. It really just follows the golden rule of "do onto others as you would have them do onto you". - Jesus, from the book of Matthew 7:12 To Leave a comment for this video go to Youtube.com

I have found these principles to be surprisingly effective beyond what I thought was ever possible. If you run a business, work in business, or just want to become better at dealing with people I would highly recommend you either take the Dale Carnegie course or buy the book How To Win Friends and Influence People to read. I guarantee if you take the course it will be one of the greatest investments, if not the best, you ever make in your career. If you are interested in learning more about taking the Dale Carnegie program I highly recommend you contact Troy Treleaven of Dale Carnegie Canada to inquire more about the program. Just Contact Us and we will put you in contact with him directly. If you don't have the time to commit to the course or you think it is too expensive then I would definitely read the book. You can find it for a relatively cheap price on www.amazon.com. I hope this video blog on sales execution has been helpful.
