Truly, there is one communication skill that impacts everything about the possibilities for you and your team. It’s underutilized. And it’s FREE! 

The key to building an unstoppable team is honing your ability to ensure they feel heard. I’m so excited to break this down together today!

Let’s jump into this. No coincidence, the same key ability is also what each of your team members will use to grow their customer base and their own team. Honing their ability to ensure their customers and future team members feel heard. 

Ensuring someone else feels heard is to truly listen to the other person. To hone your ability to help someone else feel heard you must know the three different styles of listening. 

As a trained listener, I absolutely love this topic. I can hear nuances in my clients voices that in turn tell me so much about what they are sharing. It helps me be my best for them. 

Because listening is a skill, it means your ability can be developed from wherever your skill level happens to be right now. You can each improve your abilities in this area. We all can.

Your ability to ensure others feel heard will be enhanced, no doubt, and the results will be remarkable. I can’t wait for you to experience this. 

As I share the three different styles of listening I want you to take an honest evaluation of how most of your conversations go. 

Think about if you’re using these skills or not. Think about who you may be speaking with if you are using these skills. Consider who you may be speaking with if you tend not to use these skills. 

Build Your Unstoppable Network Marketing Team with Attentive Listening.

Ok the first style of listening is Attentive Listening. This can take work. It’s not necessarily easy. When you’re attentively listening your focus is on who is speaking to you. 

You’ve eliminated distractions. You’re not looking at your phone. You’re not looking at your computer. You’re not multitasking. You’ve eliminated outside noises. You’re not interrupting who is speaking. 

It’s difficult, isn’t it. Especially when we’re not on video or in person. So how often are you attentively listening? Who are you listening to when you’re using or not using this skill? 

Build Your Unstoppable Network Marketing Team with Responsive Listening

The second style of listening is Responsive Listening. There are two ways we can be responsive listeners. Non-verbally & verbally. 

Non-verbal includes things like body language, eye contact, smiling, leaning in. All of these non-verbal responses tell the other person you are listening. They are heard.

Over half of our communication is nonverbal. In fact, some studies show only 7% of our communication happens through our words. The other is non-verbal and vocal such as tone of voice and volume. 

Verbal responsive listening is how we acknowledge to the other person we’re right there with them. We’re at the same point in the conversation. 

We do this by commenting “Yes!” “Really?!” or “Oh!”. Using short phrases lets the other person know we hear them and we’re responding in the moment. 

Responding both verbally and non-verbally will enhance your conversations. You feel heard and connected with when you’re sharing and others listen with both verbal and non-verbal responses. 

It tells you they are a responsive listener. It communicates what you have to say is important to them.
