It may seem that the people who get the most respect and best treatment are the noisy show-off ones. Actually, nowadays, the ones who have the influence are the doers not the talkers.

Here are 4 Smart Tips for Quickly Increasing Your Influence. These will help you get noticed, and more importantly, they will get the powerful people — whose opinions matter most in business — to accept you as one of their own.

Do a few things that other people can’t or won’t do. You don’t have to be superman. Embrace a couple of things that other people know they should do but chicken out – like do deep research before a meeting, make a few more client calls each day, volunteer for a risky assignment.
Let your contagious enthusiasm and passion shine through. Get excited! William Rosenberg, founder of Dunkin’ Donuts said, “Colonel Sanders didn’t invent fried chicken. I didn’t invent coffee and doughnuts. We just did it better, and we had a passion for building a concept.”
Ask someone in your organization to mentor you. You know, no one succeeds alone.
Think big. We’re in a time when big thinking is king and small thinking is viewed as pathetic. Thanks to the arrival of the Information Age, your business is in a revolution right now! It needs big thinkers with big ideas.

In these hyper-changing times, these 4 smart tips can quickly increase your influence and open doors for taking your career to the next level.
