Motivational Power Quote
The Art of Gentle Persuasion
“One of
the best ways to persuade others
is with your ears - - - by listening to them.”
Dean Rusk 1909 - 1994, Secretary of State 1961 - 1969
As I see it. . . . . . . .
The art of gentle persuasion
You use some form of the art of gentle persuasion
in every aspect of your life. You use it in your personal relationships, with your
children and in every facet of your business and career.
You go about your daily routines giving very
little thought about how the art of persuasion impacts your life and success.
A myth about persuasion is what creates
powerful persuasion skills.
Many people feel it’s having a powerful
personally, others feel that it’s talking to people until we can “convince
them.” While other person feel that’s persuasion is it’s not accepting a no for
an answer and pushing the other person hard for a yes.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
The art of persuasion not about having a
powerful personally, it’s not about intimidation and has nothing to do with not
accepting a no as an answer.
The art of persuasion is about listening
skills.
The person who’s gathers the information
to know the other person as a person is a professional listener. They will the
information and understand the persons needs, motivations, the persons fears
and what they are trying to accomplish.
As a professional listener you know the
other better then they know themselves. You have the informational resource to
help the person in many any areas of their life.
In business the information that the
professional listener obtains is an enormous help to the professional in
helping a person to make a sound business decision and successfully conclude a
sale.
A professional listener gathers the
information that when it’s correctly applied creates a strategic business
advantage and that advantage is the art of gentle persuasion.
The art of gentle persuasion is
listening to obtain information and helping that person to get what they want
and at the same time you will get more of what you want.
