Attract the Right Job or Clientele:

Why Talking Less Generates Interest and Encourages Business Growth

During a table game, no less, the perfect relatable example arose: ‘Why talking less generates interest and encourages business growth.’ Typically, laughter encompasses the table as people share their experiences and ideas. However, one political remark turned the attitudes of each player almost upside down. The competitive but friendly game almost grew into a shouting match.

The Primary Avoidance

In business, the last thing one wants is to get into an argument with a current or prospective client. Moreover, the same applies to conversations in team meetings, among peers and friends, and during interviews. Nothing is to be gained by asserting one’s perspective in an argumentative style, but much can be lost. As the holidays and year-end approach, it is vital to stay in check at gatherings and among businesspeople.

Most of all, political stories are flaring all around, and people are deeply divided today. It’s vital to remain in control of emotions to avoid damaging friendships, jobs, partnerships, or client relationships. The best one can do is to remain calm, hopefully let the commentary pass, and move forward. But it is critical to do so without compromising one’s priorities and values, or one’s brand identity will be tarnished.

The Ideal Outcome

A common theme in the sales environment is to work for a ‘Win-Win’, meaning that everyone sees the advantage of working together. There will be days when issues arise, but forming a bond to find a better solution for everyone concerned is ideal, and the effort will encourage a returning and referring clientele.

Successful selling utilizes the Q&A technique

When a seemingly outrageous claim is stated, it is best to remain calm and ask questions to uncover the reasoning behind it. The deeper we dig, the more impressed prospects and clients become that we are taking the time to understand them, which is rare for most salespeople. It is the patience and desire to learn more that attracts interest in doing business together.

Network to Inspire

Social and networking settings require similar calm, even when statements, unacceptable to the individual, are upsetting. We must recognize that everyone has familiarity with other people, making it vital not to get into a heated argument. In social settings, too, we must protect our brand by consistently being respectful. Should others not reciprocate, or the conversations become unacceptable, it is likely time to walk away and find a more congenial group.

Embrace the Lessons Learned

It’s wise to realize what we each find irritating to know what to avoid. Moreover, insults are a reason to reflect on whether there is a trait we might alter or if the thinking of another doesn’t match ours. Often, reflecting on a disagreement can yield new ideas for moving forward with our endeavors.

Share without Gossip  

Upon realizing the better direction to proceed, share the insights with peers, clientele, and the audience, but leave names behind. One will only make situations worse with gossip. But by sharing our newly learned lessons and ideas, people become respectful. Often, introductions will arrive unexpectedly for potential new business. Sharing without gossip, but with the motive to help others succeed, becomes our success strategy as well.

Weekend Reflection

Each weekend, it’s wise to reflect on the good and the not-so-good that occurred during the previous five days to create new goals and a plan for the following work week. The practice will enhance future outcomes and, over time, reduce some of the stress one feels.

Conclusion: Why Talking Less Generates Interest and Encourages Business Growth

Listening carefully to all statements helps us determine whom to connect with and whom to avoid. The reflection on both good and disturbing matters that come to mind is likely to generate new ideas and increase enthusiasm as one leaves behind the undesirable statements. Being aware of our thoughts and how we fit in with the group in front of us is ideal for both business and social gatherings. It’s vital to embrace our values and ideals to connect with people who share them and enjoy a happy ending.
