“You will never earn someone’s trust and respect if you can’t sit down and have a conversation with them.”
To communicate effectively and attract the right people to your organization, you’ll need to read them correctly and engage with them. In communication, we all carefully develop what we are going to say to people in our minds before actually speaking to them. Even in the fastest or most informal conversations or atmospheres, we think about what we are going to say before we say it based on how we analyze the person, the conversation, and the situation before we begin to speak.
At times when we don’t read people and think before we speak, we speak, we can say the wrong things that can lead to conflict or fights. When we carefully analyze and read the people we will be speaking to, we can carefully choose the best way to get our point across. Some people need more words to understand something which, in this case, might be your business when talking to potential leaders.
Some people will understand your business right away and others will be highly motivated from the start. They are easy to read and communicate with because when you read them you can tell that they are excited and you will have to use fewer words to explain your business to them based on their enthusiasm and understanding.
Every person is different and that is why it is very important that you take a few seconds to read people before you decide what and how much to say to them in your business or in any form of interaction in your life.
The next important fundamental of communication and especially in business communications is to relax. If you are tense and not relaxed, people are not going to trust you very much and this can make them a little insecure towards you. If you want to show people that you are a leader and a fun and inspiring person, you should also have a laid back attitude.
If you’re worried, sound desperate, and make your business sound like chaos, then you’re not going to be very successful in getting people to want to work with you, be around you, or just communicate with you because you’ll make them feel stressed. and if you are talking about your business, it will make them think that you are also a stressor based on the tense way you present it.
If you relax, you can calm people down and make them feel confident and secure. When you make people feel good in this way, they will want to be around you and communicate with you. This is how friendships begin. When you are relaxed and maintenance free, you become the type of person other people will want to be around because of your positivity and calming tone.
The last step to successful communication is engaging with the people you communicate with. This is found in small talk and a construction report. When engaging with your customers, future employees, future contractors, or future business partners, it’s vital that you network and find things in common that can help you bond, trust each other, and complement each other’s weaknesses.
It’s much harder to attract people to your business or make friends if you can’t have a solid conversation because you can’t find ways to engage with each other. That’s why it’s important to build this relationship early on and come in with a positive attitude because that’s how you get people to like you when you strike up something you can relate to and grow together in a simple conversation or for a lifetime of friendship.
Using empathy and putting yourself in their shoes is another great way to engage with people where you’ll be able to see eye to eye and can directly help them with what they need help with by bringing your business or care into their lives.
