Your assignment is to prepare and submit a paper on personal development for work and knowledge gained. The author accentuates: I have also been able to show some purchasers a three-bedroom flat which was selling for £295,000 in a block behind the real estate agency. Through this experience, I have also realized the importance of persuasion and influence in being a convincing salesman. No amount of technical skills can match good interpersonal skills and effective rapport building. There has been another opportunity for me to interact with potential buyers, and this was when I oriented them with Great Portland Street in Fitzrovia to show them a top-floor flat which enjoys outstanding views. During the course of the practicum, I was also given the chance to suggest ideas on developing a site for the agency. Overall, there was not much difficulty with this learning experience. This was facilitated by the fact that everyone was friendly and the atmosphere was conducive to practical learning. I have also seen from their example of how valuable teamwork was as well as relationship marketing. It is very important that every member of my team knows what I expect from him or her in terms of goals. Goals or objectives are statements of intent to achieve specific business results. They are measurable, controllable and are directly related to such results. In setting goals or objectives, they should be specific and significant, measurable, achievable, results-oriented, time-bound, engaging, and reviewed (Miser, 2006, online). Apart from this, my team should be given constant feedback to know how well they are doing their tasks. Feedback giving also increases the effectiveness of goal setting, feedback should be provided to the employee on his progress in reaching his goal (Hartog et al, 1999). Feedback can include verbally telling an employee how he is doing, placing a chart on a wall, or displaying a certain color of light when the employee’s work pace will result in goal attainment and a&nbsp.different color of light when the pace is too slow to reach the goal.
