How To Improve Self Confidence
One of the most effective communication skill is developing your self confidence. Self confidence is a communication skill we cannot pretend to have. I don't have to tell you how the lack of knowledge while speaking destroys your confidence.
As you learn how to communicate effectively you will feel and show more confidence and others will see it. Confidence comes from having the right knowledge. Read on and by the end of this hub you will be well on your way to talking and feeling more confident.
Proper communication skills training in business will allow you to be more confident when you speak to employers,competitors and prospects. More importantly I want you to deal with your past baggage, forgive it and move on!
It's Time To Move Forward!!
You cannot be fully confident when you are holding onto past issues in your life or failed projects. This causes:
- resistance
- failures
- paralysis
Successful people that have extraordinary self confidence have 3 things in common; they:
- Tell the truth.
- Let go of the past.
- Have persuasive skills.
Learn how to sell/persuade with confidence by telling the truth to your prospects. You can easily tell the truth by knowing your product.
When people have low self esteem and low confidence they tend to brag, lie and cheat to get ahead. Real winners have no need to do this. Most people are too smart to be fooled and you will cost yourself too much money from hiding behind hype.
Forgiving your self from past failures and using them as learning lessons is more constructive. After all we don't make it to winning until we fail first!
You know how you feel when a slick talker walks up to you talking a mile a minute about an amazing product doing an awesome to good to be true service for a too good to be true price. This is not confidence this is low class audacity!
If a prospect becomes a customer and finds out you have lied to get the deal they will spread that negative word faster than if you told the truth. Why humiliate yourself, when you can do your due diligence.
