Finding Legitimate Internet Entrepreneurial Opportunities Daily Tip 27 - Listening

How well do you listen to others?  I am talking about really listening to other people.  Most of us believe we are good listeners, but many times what we are doing is waiting to talk.  Actively listening is extremely hard to do if you are not used to it.  Breaking a habit is hard and when it is something you do subconsciously, it will be that much harder to break out of the habit.  This is one of the things I am actively working on in order to become a better leader and prospector.

I have said many times that it is important to keep on moving forward.  We can all improve in different areas of our lives at all times.  When you really listen to people, you are able to connect with them easier.  A good listener is very rare, which is why it is such a valuable skill.  When you are talking to someone, do you respond immediately after they are done talking?  If you do, that means you weren't listening.  In order to really listen you need to clear your mind and focus on what the other person is saying.  After they are done you can take a moment to gather your thoughts and respond.  If you are gathering those thoughts while the other person is talking you will be missing some of what they say.

Learning to listen will take time.  If it is something you are not used to then it will be a struggle.  Some of us get excited when we are talking about our legitimate internet entrepreneurial opportunities, in that excitement we don't pay attention to what our prospect needs.  If you genuinely want to help people achieve the successes they deserve, you first need to find out what their needs are.  You won't be able to help everyone, but if you never find out what a prospect's needs are, then you will never know how to help them.  I am sure you will find out what you have to offer isn't beneficial to them, that is when you both part ways.  The thing you want to do is help the people whom you can actually need what you offer.

The best sales people are not the pushers.  The best sales people are the ones that listen to their customers and make them feel important.  People are so used to not being heard, that when someone genuinely listens to them, they take notice.  When a prospect knows that you care about them, that is the kind of rapport you want to be building.

So next time you are talking to a potential customer, make a concerted effort to listen to them.  You may be surprised the results you will receive.
