Three Strategies to Improve Your Communications

The problem today is that our presentation turns two out of three of our customers off, according to Salesforce.com. For me, these are depressing numbers. They don’t exactly instill confidence and enthusiasm in our products or services.?And that lack of confidence and enthusiasm can carry over to our business and personal relationships. What can we do about that?
Here are three things you can do to build stronger relationships, get more sales, and reduce risk in our presentations:
??First, understand how we like to communicate with others.
We talk with other people from our perspective, our point of view. Many times, we are not consciously connected with our own core values. Sometimes, we even wing it and hope for the best. However, once we gain clarity on our core values and how we like to be communicated with, then we can be more conscious of those values.
??Second, understand how our clients and prospects like to be communicated with.
Most times, we don’t know how other people like to be spoken to and understand what they value. Asking good questions certainly is a start. Discovering their likes and dislikes is key. Another skill is being genuinely interested in the other person and seeing the world through their eyes or in their shoes.
??Third, adjust our conversation so that it is in alignment with their values.

This is the hardest one to master. Most people fall back into their old patterns and communication habits once they learn other people’s values. Old habits are hard to overcome, and new ones are developed to replace them. It requires knowledge, effort, and consistency to change.
So, we can implement each or all of these strategies to up-level our communication skills immediately. Each one is specific in its approach, and all three can be implemented simultaneously.

2 年Hey Glenn, Thank you for inviting me into the messaging. In all my years of experiences with assessments, what I have been intrigued with is the descriptions. What I have come to know is how important it is to be curious in all conversations. Curiosity is what will drive the conversation for the sake of clarity regardless of communication style. So, if my clients and prospective clients are turned off by my style, what do they want to do about it? Furthermore, does curiosity invite clarity? I believe so. What if we all just show up with curiosity about our internal dialogue and notice when we are not clear about something? Do I need to know what their style is? Or do I need to simply be curious when I am not clear about something?
