If you can hold a great conversation, you can influence.
Inability to strike up and maintain conversational flow puts you at a significant disadvantage.
Great conversationalists hold our attention. They make us feel good, valued, special. Drawing us out, encouraging us to share our thoughts and ideas.
As we open up, they gather all the intelligence they need to be able to pitch their idea perfectly.
So perfectly, that we’ll love them for it too.
Question is, how good are you at conversing with people, especially strangers?
Can you:
- Easily strike up a conversation with anyone?
- Manage the ebb and flow of ideas?
- Ask great questions, and give great answers too?
- Make other people feel special?
- Inject fun and intrigue into your conversations?
Or, are you just boring people while you struggle to influence?
