Listening Skills - Pay Attention With More Heart Than Talent
By Jeffrey Combs

Only one-third of the speaker’s meaning is conveyed by words. Two-thirds is conveyed by body language, indicating emotional tone. Listening will directly impact your potential for sales and prospecting for new associates or distributors. Becoming a good listener requires practice, patience, and a genuine interest in other people.

  1. Make the speaker feel comfortable and important by being courteous and respectful;
  2. Show your attentiveness to the speaker by nodding your head or saying, “yes” or “I see” from time to time;
  3. Listen between the lines to detect when someone is being dishonest or evasive with you.
