Motivational Power Quote

 

In a Moment of Silence

“Silence is the element in which great things

fashion themselves together.”

James Truslow Adams 1878 – 1949 American writer and Historian        

 

 

As I see it . . . . . . .

 

In a moment of Silence

 

In a moment of silence we can listen to what the other person is saying and reflect and their words to better understand them.

 

In the moment of silence as we are actively listening to the person and  simultaneously showing respect for the person and building a bridge of rapport.

 

In a moment of silence a homeowner will tell us everything we need to know to list their home. Or buyer will give us all the information that’s needed to sell them a home.

 

There is a powerful time in negotiating that time takes place in a moment of silence were the person reveals what will have to be done to successfully compete the negotiations.

 

Sales is about speaking with a purpose and becoming a proactive listening.

 

Successful people in every walk of life are professional listener.

 

They control the conversation and gather information that will help them to successful negotiate and to do business with their customers, not by speaking they control the conversation by listening. They create strategic advantage it in a moment of silence when they allowing the other person to speak.

Hi Lou,

I have made some progress about listening.

I said just two days ago, "Could you repeat what you just said? My mind was somewhere else and I did not hear a word you said!"

I suppose the next step would be to actually listen!

Learning to listen may be the most difficult task ever undertaken. Just when you think you are doing good you find yourself formulating an answer while someone else is speaking. Try again!

Two ears, one mouth is a mantra of sorts for me.  This quote and its interpretation makes me think of it as I do on a daily basis.
