Learning Effective Communication Skills- 10 Effective Communication Tips- Part III

Updated on October 7, 2014

Persuasive Communication Skills

  • A great communicator will never overwhelm, over talk or bombard a person with to much information.
  • A good communicator listens more than they talk and puts their prospect first through consultation and education.
  • Being in a help mode with persuasive skills will get you further faster and with less work.

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:

  1. Tell the truth.
  2. Let go of the past.
  3. 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.

10 Effective Communication Tips

If you want to improve your self confidence reading all the self help book in the world will not help until you learn how to move on from past hardships and grow from them. You will always be paralyzed from growing until this is done.The answer has always been in you, but has been ignored or suppressed.

"Until you know yourself you can not know others." Helen Keller

  1. Learn Leadership Skills.Become someone that is admired, respected and is dependable.
  2. Oral communication- Make yourself understood by effectively transfering ideas and information to your target audience.
  3. Teaching Mode- You will often find yourself in a teaching mode when it is impairative to have your audience fully understand you or your solution. There are 3 types of learners the include seeing (visual) learners, hearing (auditory)learners and those that learn by doing(kinesthetic/tactile).
  4. Written Communication- You will have to learn how to write in a clear,concise professional manner to be understood. Having a strong understanding of grammar and a broad vocabulary base is a great place to start.
  5. Dress code- You will be surprised what our clothing communicates about us. Don't inadvertently send a wrong message.
  6. Stay positive with yourself and others.
  7. Enhance your Time Management Skills.
  8. Stay Current- Get latest subscriptions to magazines in your field.
  9. Never over whelm a person with facts; educate them.
  10. Improve social skills(firm hand shake, eye contact,listen than talk etc)

A person that is well groomed and friendly will be given an opportunity to
be heard. But if your doing business over the phone you must sound as
pleasant and helpful as possible all it takes is the wrong tone to be
dismissed.

Improve your self confidence and your prospects will know and feel secure and have confidence in you. Learning to communicate by putting your audience first will allow them to hear you and feel like they have made their own decision by acting in your favor. Learning to be a persuasive speaker is not the opposite of attacking your audience and losing deals.

Working smart by communication persuasively will close more deals faster and more effectively that bombarding hundreds of people with jargon, banter and outdated sales techniques.
