Communication techniques create better results

 The manner in which you express yourself and your choice of words will either turn others away from you or attract their attention for great results.  

When you respond to difficult questions on an interview or answer challenging questions of a client you must be both agreeable and assertive at the same time.  Most of all, you need to speak with confidence (not arrogance) that you are able to get the job done.  

In other words, you must believe in what you are saying.  That belief comes from deep within and must be heard in your voice.  As soon as a quiver of doubt enters your voice, that doubt will be magnified in the vibration of the sound.  

If you are a person who becomes nervous on interviews or appointments, I highly recommend you take a public speaking class.  There you will learn to command the techniques that deliver precisely that which you wish to communicate in words, sound, posture and body language.  All of this combines to present a professional package to your prospect.  

When you are able to harness your belief and transform it into communication, you will attract the right job, more clients and greater sales.  Communication becomes your marketing and is most definitely your business development.   When executed properly, your prospect will soon become your client or the job interview will turn into your hearing HIRED!  

Upon having your communication techniques in control, you may then approach media with ease, infuse video for a wider reach on social media, and create a wider client attraction campaign to be heard.  Entrepreneurs who wish to grow their business methodically and successfully, you will wish to consider our Business Retreat May 4-7 in the Sonoma Wine Country.  

You will learn these techniques and leave with the mindset, vision and plan to be headed for a very Smooth Sale!

Bring Disguised Opportunity to Light to Enjoy the Sunshine!

Last week, I received an email from the President of a large organization thanking me for being a long-time loyal customer.  Today, I shared with "Alexa" that I immediately seized the moment to thank him for his acknowledgement.  Next, I proceeded to tell him about an opportunity complementary to the service he already has in place which offers a great likelihood it will further grow his business.  

Alexa's response was profound as she relayed she used to do just that but has become complacent letting things slide.  She further shared that most people are not even aware that these possibilities are opportunities in disguise.  

As a seasoned sales professional, my mindset recognizes any communication presents an opportunity to respond.  You just need to prioritize where your time should be spent.

Whether you are a job seeker wanting a desired interview or an entrepreneur seeking additional prospects, clients and sales, be fully aware of all that comes through to you albeit email, social media messages, phone, print, or video.  Where you instantly see, hear or feel a connection, you must respond – your business depends upon it!   When you do take the initiative to reply, you are catapulted into the leadership spot attracting further interest in you and what you have to offer.

Business development grows more quickly and easily when you are willing to take calculated risk with the attitude of "let's see what happens".  

You make the opportunities come to you and then find enjoyment in the Smooth Sale!
