A few weeks ago, I write a few posts on different words which repeatedly come to me.
This evening, I gave a talk at Toastmasters, and I spoke of 2 tools which I have as a Realtor.
Today's post is on tool #1: Words.
Whether speaking to a potential client, or a client, or a group of people, or colleagues.
Whether trying to elicit the answer we want, or simply trying to finetune information.
Opportunities can be made to bloom or possibilities can be made to cease.
Visions can be conjured or hell can be conjected.
This, all of this, we can do with words.
Whether we use these words in speaking, in a phone conversation, in a personal note, in an email, in a glossy brochure, or in a contract.
Words, when used properly, can change someone's perceptions and ideas. For instance, just a few paragraphs about my puppy and surely you'd rent to me if I were your tenant. It wasn't magic, simply a few words.
Just as deflty they can be used to create, likewise they need to be monitored.
As important as words are, the importance and value of that which isn't stated should not be discounted. Nor should the value of silence be forgotten.
While this has all been used in reference to a professional capacity, the same is true in a personal capacity.
Yes, my talk this evening started with the value of "words".
