Motivational Power Quote
Listening is an Art
“Wisdom
is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening
when you’d rather have been taking.”
Aristotle BC
384 – BC 322, Greek Philosopher
As I see it. . . . . . . .
Listening is an art
We talk to be heard . . . . and we
listen to learn and what we learn becomes a valuable resource. The information
that we learn becomes the thin slice of achieving greater success.
A professional listener will proactively
listen about 80% of the time and . . . . . speak with a purpose and ask
questions about 20% of the time. The listener gains knowledge, prospective and .
. . . creates a competitive advantage through the gentle art of listening.
When you listen to another person . . .
. your showing respect for the person
who is speaking. In a business environment the person that you’re listening to
will give you all the information that is needed to help them successfully
through the sales process.
With the gentle art of listening the
professional listener gains the information and insight to remain in control of
a conversation and to understand the other persons, their needs and their
motivation.
Listening is an art and is a success
tool . . . . that’s properly used creates a pathway to unlimited success.
