Reading body language may be one of the greasiest skills for you to learn if you are in any type of situation where communication matters or
where you can gain a competitive edge
For others to understand and interpret your message correctly your verbal message must match up with your nonverbal actions. In order for you
to be persuasive both must occur.
To give yourself an advantage it may serve you well to learn how to read other peoples body language to understand their context. The
ability to read body language is an important skill to have for many more reasons than business.
What if you would like to:
- See if a man or woman is interested in you?
- Determine if a boyfriend, girlfriend husband or wife may be lying or deceitful
- Tell if you are in danger
- Use as an advantage for negotiation
These are just a few things that you can do in order to read others to have some advantages over people who cannot read the actions and the
body language of others.
Body language and persuasive selling skills
Persuasive sales skills are one of those tools that are not just handy to have but a must have in today’s business climate. It seems that
no matter what you do there is a needed element of persuasion that goes along with each task. Business has become more and more competitive and from the sounds of salespeople the word is “everybody is shopping on price” but the reality is that isn’t anywhere near the truth. I may very well be those who have persuasive sales skills, techniques and abilities down do not have sell on price alone.
Reading the body language of others will help you understand if they are lying or if there is more room for you to negotiate better.
Have you considered increasing your persuasion, influence or even body language skills recently?
I am sure right now you are thinking to yourself another web site about sales, persuasion, influence and body language why?
The answer is quite simple, there is nothing that you can do that has more control over your life than to get someone to move forward with an action whatever it may be. You say no! Let’s see if there is anything that you do that doesn’t require some formof reading body language, influence or persuasion in everyday life:
- Do you want his or her number to get a date with
that guy or girl? - Do you want a raise and make more money?
- Do you want a new job with a boss that respects you more?
- Are you trying to get your partner to try some new act you read in a magazine?
- Wondering if your body language is betraying you and you are losing out?
- Questioning if your sales number could be better?
- Want your kids to eat their vegetables?
- Are you trying to get out of a speeding ticket?
- Get a better rate for a loan?
Was it almost like your mind was being read? Oh wait that question was in the form of communicating a sales question wasn’t it?.
There are many misconceptions about what can and should be done when working with getting someone to do something. Most of the resistance
and reluctance comes from within your own beliefs. Many of the cures for your lack of communication, persuasion and influence will not come from a “magic pill” book or dvd but from internal corrections that you can learn here.
It does not matter if you are a sales manager who wants your teams numbers to get better, a instructor who would like to be more fluent with
getting your students to go to college your sales abilities must be there.
Do you want to make more a ton more money tomorrow, next week or even next year? Yes that may seem like a silly question but what have
you done in the last 10 days to make that happen? Ok let’s go back a little more, how about the last 2 months. If your answer was everything possible
great! If your answer was not really anything that is normal because most people have no idea where to go or how to start.
This site was mainly built for the person who wants to communicate better and has had no idea where to go or wants to know where to start.
This site even has information for the person who would like to learn how to communicate more effectively whether in personal life or even
business.
Do you want to take someone under your wing and teach them the art of sales, point them this direction for some body language tips, or
even some hidden persuasion and maybe even some covert hypnosis.
Right now you are probably contemplating if anything covert has been used on you? Your answer is “yes” and it’s all up to you to
gather some more information to find out where the gems are hiding. You can do that can’t you? There’s a free one hidden in that last sentence.
Has this page properly influenced you? If you have read up to this point either the message has been compelling for you or its been a
train wreck you couldn’t take your eyes away from.
In the end there is so much to learn and implement out there. You can do so any way you want but you will not get what you want in
life without the hard work. Implement whatever you may learn as fast as possible along with influencing your communication skills.
One of the best ways to learn is to use a sales journal where you write down all of the best ideas that you hear, read or even come up
with on your own not just to have the information but also to have something to fall back on when sales failure strikes.
