Empathy it’s not just for Mothers any more!

 

Empathy the ability to empathize.

 

Empathize the ability to understand and sympathize with the feelings and needs of others.

 

Others all those except the royal us!

 

Empathy that quality along with experience and education that separates professional salesmen from all the other licensees.

 

Professional salesmen one who emphasis with and guides and prods his fiduciary with specialized knowledge and wisdom acquired through education and experience.

 

Professional salesmen one who emphasis with the other side too, to the benefit of his fiduciary. 

 

Guide a professional salesman leads his fiduciary through the ever growing maze of the transaction.

 

Prod a professional salesman does not make his fiduciary’s decisions, he understands the need to prod the fiduciary to make a decision. 

 

Empathy it’s not just for Mothers any more and it never was!

 

Empathy is necessary for sales and life!

 

Empathy is necessary for career satisfaction!

Bill empathy does play an important part in sales, as long as it does not play such a large role that it leads to bad decisions.

It amazes me when I encounter people who truly seem to be lacking in this area!  There are times I worry that I might be TOO empathetic! LOL! From what extreme to the other?!

If you can't see both sides you are in for a short life as a salesperson.....or you are simply in it for the paycheck.

Jenny,

We all get involved, but at the end of the day we have to remember we didn't cause their problems! I pray that I didn't add to any one's problems and that they are better off for having met me.

Than,

We’ll close more deals by understanding the other guys.

A little empathy goes allot further than a little cash.

Also important, Bill, (in addition to empathy) is the importance of listening instead of speaking. Do you agree?

Melissa,

Agree?

The only thing I like better than, well talking is listening!

I don't believe in empathics, There was something about two ears, but only one mouth.

Agree, you bet I agree!
