Developing Key Business Skills
When it really comes down to it, the single trait you really need to do well in business is to be motivated, both to do well and to translate your passion and expertise into success.
Building Business Relationships and Other Key Business Skills
You can’t do business without business skills.
Logical of course.
But you don’t necessarily need an MBA or to have attended university or business school to have key business skills.
It does mean, however, that you have (or have the desire and drive to attain) certain business skills that most successful business people have.
So What Are Business Skills?
Well, they include communication, influencing, negotiation, line management, and interpersonal skills.
They are also likely to include advanced skills such as leadership, advanced presentation, strategic thinking, line management, and project management.
When it really comes down to it, the single trait you really need to do well in business – the single skill you need (and that you can develop) – is to be motivated, both to do well and to translate your passion and expertise into success.
Business Skills Are Important
Business skills are important at whatever level you work within an organisation: from working in a mailroom to running the company, good skills make you attractive to fellow workers and employers.
Key business skills, whether acquired in a formal setting, a training room, or even the school of life can make a huge difference.
This is because good skills will give you the ability to communicate effectively with colleagues, get your ideas across, and make people want to listen to you – hear what you have to say.
Key Business Edge
Business skills give you an edge in the way you work with clients, plan a marketing campaign, challenge the competition, bring in new business, etc.
Lack of them could mean you stay run of the mill.
Business Skills Training
More and more companies expect their employees to attend business training courses because the better skilled their people are, the better their chances are of survival in a very tricky time in our economy.
Training budgets are often the first things to get slashed during an economic downturn.
Smart companies know that quite the opposite needs to happen.
Their people need to acquire more business skills to be able to cope with added pressures, scaled-down staff, and higher expectations.

However you get them, key business skills will last you your entire career and may even have a good impact on your personal life as well!
