Secret #1 For Close Relationships! The Art of Listening!
Read More: I know one thing for sure and that is, people truly like you, even love you, when you really listen to them. Most people's problem is that they know that whoever they're talking to is only waiting for their chance to talk. They get absolute confirmation when you start talking immediately after their sentence is finished.
So here's the secret:
1. Give them a chance to finish.
2. Take a breath.
3. ...and then talk.
When you instantly start talking, or even worse, interrupt, the result is most generally going to be annoyance or irritation. Yet that short pause of a second or two after the other person finishes creates a vast difference in the way they perceive you and your intentions. You're not just vomiting on them with words, and it's not a verbal boxing match. They perceive that you're not just waiting for them to stop so you can jump in and finish them off.
Quite unexpectedly, you're actually listening!
Most folks aren’t used to people who sincerely want hear their complete thought and truly give it even a second or two of thought. It’s a welcome relief for them, and they're likely to attach a much greater value to talking with you.
That's the secret... The Art of Listening is the number one way to start strong relationships in network marketing and in life!
Abundance & Prosperity in all you do,

You could not be more spot
You could not be more spot on. Especially people who are very perceptive have difficulty letting people finish when we already know what they are going to say. It is easy to turn people away, when they feel like you are steping on them, even though your very quick brain may just be so anxious to be helpful.
Try to feel the pull instead of the push while someone is speaking and suck in all of the information that your senses can gather. Then you will know instictively how angle your approach to attract instead of repel. The number one reason all kinds of relationships fail is beacause of communication breakdown.
Great advice as always Randy, Thanks again.
