Time Flies when you're having fun!

Communication: Devils Advocate!
Most of us could be accused of having many
inadequacies that effect our daily lives but is a lack of
communication one of them..?
Is this YOUR Achilles heel?

So much of our time is spent in one form of
communication from another (verbal and non verbal)
that we rarely have a chance to look back and analyse
our actions. Let's face it (no pun intended) body
language online, isn't a skill that's required, is it?

Question: How do You inject pace, expression, color/
colour (via voice tonality) to your emails?

As a senior marketing and business consultant for the
majority of my working life, 'we' were trained to adopt
the 6 'P' theory. i.e. Prior Planning Prevents P_ss Poor
Performance. We were told that analysis of our
performance after a meeting (either one to one or
group 'think tank') was critical in being able to adopt
a more cohesive conversation and superior critical
path, the next time around.

Training comes in many forms and from many tutors,
so how do you choose the wheat from the chaff?

Some of you may have experienced , 'The script', 'the
product knowledge' & so on. You may have been
trained to write up notes post meeting or notate them
on a laptop for future debate - all necessary skills.

Lets face it communicating online is a recent
phenomenon (even though it feels like a millennium)
unless of course you were born within the last twenty
years:)

So where do you get your inspiration from?

Do you take it from anywhere, from anyone?

When do you know enough to feel comfortable to DO
something?

All good questions but the chances are that you will
still be asking yourself these and many more questions
besides each and every day.. so what are you waiting
for? Your first Sale?

Building a business takes time and needs solid
foundations. Find something/someone that resonates
with you. If you've not been in sales or marketing
before then take advice, read as much as you can
to build your knowledge, talk to as many qualified
people as you can and see what works.
Learn from others.

I only recommend those programs that I am a member
of and have tested personally that resonate with me.
