Q: Make this as easy on yourself as possible by making yourself feel good. Pick a spot that you know well to ease any nervousness or talkative. Good spots generally have few people, are quiet, and are easy to get to naturally. Don't make a big spectacle by asking her to follow you to a romantic spot. A quiet hallway or corner after school is just as good a spot to talk about your feelings as any other. If you still feel shy around her, use a bit of humor to lighten the mood. Say something like, "Things were a lot less awkward between us before I inserted a size 12 foot in my mouth." Show that you don't take yourself too seriously and she will feel relaxed as well. If you aren't naturally funny, that is okay too. Finding humor in a situation is more about finding the best side of yourself, even when things get awkward. The great secret to getting over shyness is just coming out and saying what you feel. It is not easy, but it is the only way to do it. Keep it short and to the point. "I really like you, and I'd love to go out on a date sometime," is all you need to say. Some tricks to get it all out include: Count to 3 in your head-- when you get to zero, you have to say it. Avoid chit-chatting beforehand. Say hello, ask how she is doing, then launch right in. If she is going to ditch you because of a little initial awkwardness, is she really that worth being with? Quickly admitting that you feel nervous may be the best way to break the ice, and she will appreciate your honesty. What you are telling her is that you like her so much you feel shy saying it -- that kind of honesty and vulnerability is going to go a long way. Lines to try include: "I'm a bit nervous to say this, but..." "I know I seem kind of awkward, but I want you to know how I feel." If she says she doesn't like you back, it's no big deal. Just ask if you can still be friends, and act cool. And don't be mean to her just because she rejects you. It's her choice, after all. And you may have just been chasing after the wrong girl.
A: Pick a time and place you are comfortable in. Find some humor in the situation. Go ahead and say it. Be honest. Prepare yourself for rejection.

Problem: Article: In order to begin organizing a union, you should begin by talking to your colleagues at work to determine if they might be interested in forming a union. When introducing the idea of forming a union to your coworkers, do so discreetly and preferably in the absence of a supervisor or other member of management. This is important because although you have a right to form a union, many employers do not look favorably upon the idea of their employees forming a union and may, therefore, try to thwart your attempt to form one. If, after quietly talking to your coworkers, you find that enough of them are interested, hold a private meeting with your coworkers. At this meeting, discuss the particular workplace issues that you feel need addressing. Keep a record of the issues discussed at this meeting for future reference.
Summary: Begin by discussing your idea with your coworkers. Introduce your idea discreetly. Hold a private meeting.

Q: It may seem counter-intuitive, but the focus of prospecting should not be making sales. Your focus must be on establishing a relationship with as many prospects as possible. Opening the relationship comes first. Once you make contact with a prospect, you need to convince him or her to schedule an appointment or listen to your sales pitch. Sales are important, of course, and you should go into each dialogue with the goal of selling your product or service. Even if you do not make the sale, though, you should still seek to keep the relationship open. That prospect may need your product or service later, and if you continue to touch base, he or she may think of you before contacting anyone else when the time comes. Prospects typically respond better when they feel they are being served rather than sold to. Feedback lets your prospects know that you are interested in their needs and wants. Stay engaged through social media. Post frequent updates to your blog and social media pages, and respond to inquiries and comments made through those sources. Send surveys. Prospects are generally more willing to respond to short surveys, but they may respond to a long survey if there is a reward or the chance of a reward at the end. For instance, filling out a survey may enter the prospect in a drawing for cash or a gift card. Regardless of the length, though, sending surveys sends the message that you want to know how you can improve to meet customer needs. Even if your prospect is actually a large company instead of an individual, you will probably speak with the same individual at the company each time you call or write. Establishing a positive relationship with your contact at the company is important. At minimum, you need to know his or her name and keep your conversations both friendly and professional. If necessary, take notes after each conversation with your contact so that you can pick up where you left off with the next call. The contact you establish a relationship with may not make the final decision, but he or she will have some input. Creating a favorable opinion with your initial contact will improve your chances of a receiving a positive recommendation. Once you've started a relationship with a prospect, you need to nurture that relationship so that it continues to grow. The idea is to eventually convert your prospects into loyal customers. Follow up with each prospect on a regular basis. Send "thank you" notes and e-mails. Pass along surveys and copies of your newsletter. Touch base with those who have bought from you in the past to find out how satisfied they are with your product or service.
A:
Focus on the relationship. Encourage feedback. Address your contact by name. Nurture the relationship.
