Chip's B2B Tip #2 - Who Says It's All About You ?
.
B2B Tip #2 - The Art and Skill Of Listening:
.
One of the most surefire, fastest ways to turn away people is when you're all concerned about *you.* If the first thing you say to someone is why you're so great and why your product (or service, etc.) is so great - you just fell out of the boat without a life jacket.
'Hope you can swim with the sharks ...
Although this saying is beat to death these days - nonetheless it remains 100% true, and folks in the know will tell you this ... the person with whom you're interacting typically cares about exactly one thing - "What's in it for me?"
So you have 2 ears and 1 mouth for a VERY good reason. When you can keep the ratios in check using these two organs, you've made a great stride. Listen first ... talk second. You'll be the "life of the party."
