Communication Is The KEY To Your Success

 

Selling With NLP

It's All About Communication
Sjoerd Eisma

Every Sales or Marketing Rep needs to be aware of his or her communication style.

Knowing how you communicate and what the effect of your communication is will have a HUGE EFFECT on your sales results.

In the Seventies, two brilliant individuals: Richard Bandler and John Grinder layed the foundation of what they called NLP, Neuro Linguistic Programming. They were working at the University of California (Santa Cruz) and initially mainly focused on medical and psychological applications.

Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)

Neuro: Nervous system through which experience is received and precessed through our five senses.

Linguistic: The language and non-verbal communication we use, through which neural representations are coded, ordered and given a meaning.

Programming: An interactive process which allows us to make very precise choices about the way we think, speak and feel, in order to achieve specific desired results.



Today, many qualified NLP trainers all over the world are applying NLP in many fields:

  • Improving results in Sports

  • Improving Sales Results for sales reps
  • and many more

You Cannot Not Communicate

We are constantly communicating by what we say and don't say;

By the messages we send deliberately and by a host of mainly unconscious non-verbal signs.



It Doesn't Matter What You Say - It's How You Say It

Most people do not realize that, based on research, it has been established that the content of your communication (i.e. what you actually say) is only 7% of the actual message. Your tone of voice represents 35% of the message and your body language determines the way the message is received for 58%!

Many sales people are talking and talking and talking in a sharp voice and are not aware of their body language. That's why only 7% of the message is actually arriving at your prospect' s mind. Those sales reps have no idea why they are not as successful as their colleagues, who are not talking a lot but have a very confident posture and a nice voice.

CONTENT : 7%              TONE OF VOICE : 35%            BODY LANGUAGE : 58%

The best way to understand this is to think about our most dangerous communication method today: e-mail.
E-mail is so dangerous because it only sends 7% of the message. Recipients of the e-mail do not hear your voice and do not see your body language. All they can do is make an interpretation of what they THINK you mean. That's how in companies sometimes "e-mail wars" are created by just one misinterpreted message.

Every sales rep sending proposals to a prospect is risking to lose the deal for the very same reason: your prospect may not understand what you actually mean and turn down your offer due to misinterpretation.
The one and only way to increase your odds of success is to personally take the proposal to the prospect and explain your proposal step by step to the prospect.

The Meaning of your Communicaton
is the Response that you get

People can only respond to what they think you mean, which may be an inaccurate interpretation of your intended meaning
