EP14: A Holistic Approach to Business and Life Through Conversational Sales With Connie Whitman

Wellness is directly related to effective communication.

 

“You are negotiating or selling all the time, whether it is at work or with your kids.” ~ Connie Whitman

 

Sales are about communication, we are always communicating with others. What the common trend is for humans to talk at each other versus having conversations with each other. Connie shares with us a lesson she learned and it is the importance of listening more than we speak. We should be listening about 70% of the time and sharing or asking questions the other 30%. During that 70%, we are learning so much about the other person's perspective making it easier for us to provide a better recommendation or idea. Because we are communicating from a place of understanding the sale becomes easier. Sales can be anything from selling an idea like, renovating the kitchen, getting your children to eat vegetables or pitching your next project to your boss. This theory also goes deep than sales, it is the cornerstone to share our needs and wants with others so we too can feel seen, heard and understood.

 

We always have two conversations going on, the conscious and the sub-conscious. The conversation is like an iceberg, 10 % is above the surface, in the conscious the rest is below the surface or in the subconscious. When we lean into and learn to tap into more of our subconscious conversation they become more robust.

 

If you aren’t a great listener change is possible, if we remember the conversation is about the person we are speaking to it becomes easier. Reprograming from the need to fix or provide a solution to hearing what that person needs or wants takes practice and awareness. The beautiful thing about practicing the 70-30 rule of a conversation is we become more aware and connected to the individual we are engaging with.  Overall this will increase the health of all our relationships.

 

Wellness Nuggets;

·        Communication is so much more than speaking.

·        Becoming an effective listener or learning to share your needs with others takes practice.

·        Be prepared and know your audience so you can meet them where they are at.

 

We invite you to ignite the Wellness Warrior in YOU!
