Take notes. Simply taking notes is one way of demonstrating just how closely you are listening to the them.

The internet has brought so much change into our lives. It has also provided numerous jobs that no one would ever dream possible. One of those positions is as a moderator for message boards on major magazine sites.While on one of several sites that I enjoy being a member of, I wondered: How does this work? It’s good to have someone “in charge” and to go to when there is a problem to
How often have you had miscommunications with a Realtor? As frustrating and embarrassing as it may be, it’s also an indication of a bigger problem, poor listening skills.
There is a lot more to being a good listener than just hearing the person. Good listening is an acquired skill that requires discipline. It is a skill many loan officers have not mastered and an opportunity for you to stand out in the crowd.
Most of us have natural defenses that go up when ever we are in a discussion, we listen with maybe half of our brain, while the other half is busy formulating a plan. But with a little practice, you can master the skills to become a great listener, and launch your marketing to Realtors efforts with your unique skill set.
Here are some steps that will help you become a better listener:
Focus on the message. Do you find yourself jumping in just as the speaker is finishing their point, or interrupting them half way through their point? Good listening means having the patience to hear the person out, all the way through their message.
Think about what they said. Are you the first with a come back, or do you tend to jump to conclusions? Take the time to really analyze the content of the message before you respond. Pay attention to other cues, like whether there is another message behind the words.
Clarify what you heard. Make sure you truly understand what the other person is saying. Rephrase their message to make sure you properly understand.
Give your complete attention. Turn off your cell phone, stop thinking about your next appointment or what you have to do today. When you are on the phone, are you checking emails, reading messages, etc? Think about what distracts you and keeps you from turning your total attention to the speaker.
Keep your nonverbal cues in check. Nonverbal messages say a lot about the speaker, and the listener. When someone is talking to you, do you fidget and squirm? Keep your body still, your arms uncrossed, and your eyes on the speaker.
Let the speaker vent. Let us face it, sometimes we just need to have some time to vent our frustrations. Make that okay for the client by being willing to hear them out. You will find that it is one way to gain cooperation in the end.

Procrastination comes in many forms. One of those forms involves simply doing too much preparation before putting something into action. In working with businesses, sports teams, and other groups, I have often used the quote, “Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance” – or – “Proper Preparation Promotes Positive Performance.” However, there is always a potential problem of having too m

You are the manager of a small business, a team, a department, a project or even a complete company. And you are to hire someone new. There is this candidate, but she is your opposite in nearly everything; you favour spontaneity, she doesn’t, you take subjective decisions, she rationalizes whenever possible and where you are more extraverted, she is not.From portfolio management we can

Every year about this time, I see too many accounting systems that don’t work… QuickBooks and PeachTree and Microsoft Small Business Accounting programs that don’t do what their small business users want or need.Sometimes, people know their accounting systems don’t work. And they don’t care. But, sadly, sometimes, the struggling small business person doesn’t even know his or her system
