What do you do if your emotional intelligence is hindering effective communication in sales?
Emotional intelligence (EI) is a critical component of successful sales interactions. It's the ability to understand and manage your own emotions, as well as recognize and influence the emotions of others. However, if your EI is not aligned with effective communication, it can create barriers rather than bridges. You might misinterpret cues, handle objections poorly, or fail to establish rapport. To excel in sales, you must ensure that your EI supports, rather than hinders, your ability to communicate and connect with clients.
