This is a business strategy since it makes many people more receptive to the entrepreneurs' ideas. Many people prefer businesses that give a personal touch', so giving it can make an entrepreneur much more appealing to customers than another entrepreneur that doesn't display warmth and gentleness.

Great contribution Eric, I fully agree with you. There is nothing to be ashamed of being warm, gentle and tender towards people in business as well in private life. Good will is always paying if and only if the final result is not to commit crime or any kind of damage. Thank you so much for sharing.
