In this modern time it is important to know what interpersonal skills are, what they include, and how to acquire them. Let's start with what interpersonal skills really mean.

Have you met that dynamic, charismatic person who is an integral part of the party, who walks into a room and immediately changes the dynamics of any conversation, the one that people talk about for hours even after he leaves?

If so, you may have wondered what makes him so charming to so many different people at the same time. In short, you might be interested in tracking down his "X factor" that makes this person charming.

The secret lies in understanding the difference between listening and listening, using verbal skills to communicate effectively, sending subtle non-verbal cues to move the conversation to a higher level of conversation. Remember the adage that successful people always remember names, know how to present a situation convincingly, and manage situations.

Active listening

Communication is a two-way process in which active listening is just as important as fluency. If you speak fluently, but not listen, any conversation will be very short-lived.

Hearing simply catches the sound waves in our environment and understands that there was a sound source, whether you saw it or not. Listening, on the other hand, is not only about capturing sound waves, but also understanding the meaning of spoken words, analyzing them, interpreting them and acting accordingly.

In short, hearing only uses the brain, but listening also uses the mind. Active listening helps you better understand what the person is saying, which in turn will help you come to the most correct conclusion.

In addition to this, it also helps you communicate more successfully and create a responsive, responsive image in the speaker's mind. This person will perceive you as a caring, attentive, and engaged listener with special attention to detail. Insurance Advisors and Investment Bankers around the world have mastered this art as they understand what their clients are saying about the future of their income, which is a sensitive topic for most of them.

Talking tips

When talking to someone, remember that people enjoy talking to people who can receive and share information at the same time. Dominating the conversation without paying any attention to what the other person is saying will end the conversation very quickly. On the other hand, if you are just listening and not contributing intelligently or intelligently to the discussion, people will think of you as someone with whom they should not waste time talking.

During the conversation, make sure you fully understand what the other person is saying before making any comments about it. A misunderstanding or even partial understanding of someone's statement could cause a serious social error. It is always recommended to use repetition in conversation, both to clarify your statements and to understand what the other person meant in their own words.

Examples - "Let me explain here so that everyone understands exactly what I wanted to say." "If I understood you correctly ..."

It's also important to keep summarizing the content as the conversation gets more detailed. There are times when many facts are entered that need to be borne in mind in order to understand the context of the discussion. Whenever you feel that the details are getting a little difficult to understand, it is best to rephrase and try to summarize the entire content so that any inconsistencies can be resolved.

Influence on people's thoughts

I am sure that many of us, seeing the hypnotist perform his art on an unfortunate member of the audience, wished that this power was with you. Well, you've got the next best thing! This is called "Influencing People."

While we can confidently agree that we do not have the ability to control someone telepathically, influencing people can provide powerful insights into how they think and function, which will help you approach them in an acceptable way. This includes trying to understand their business and personal environment, knowing their business needs, personal feelings and ethics.

Active Listening and keen observation are two very important skills needed to know what can convince other people. We all send subliminal messages when we interact, and reading between the lines can give us the clue we've been looking for so far.

Empathizing, also known as “putting yourself in someone else's place to see where the stone is being pinched, ” is a very effective way to understand the other side of the story that the person wants to share with you. Understanding and meeting his needs will make him appreciate you as someone who cares.

Maintaining reliability and trust

Many people complain that when they go to the business center to inquire about the services they need, the person talking to them treats them cordially, responds to their requests, connects and reassures them of good service.

Customers happily sign up for a deal, but once the documents are signed and payment is made, no one answers their repeated calls and emails. And the man who spoke to them and gave them the floor has now been replaced by a man with a stern voice. Something went wrong?

An impressive presentation of your points of view and influence skills can help you get on your feet, ie, give you the initial opportunity to build a positive image, which lays the foundation for a strong and lasting relationship.

However, the most important part of this is to maintain the same relationship over a long period of time. This requires an ongoing commitment to maintaining that relationship. You must keep in touch with people you have left a good impression on. For example, email notifications, emails, or text messages on birthdays and anniversaries can help build and maintain long-term, sustainable, and productive business relationships.

Getting the right result

In today's results-oriented world, a lot of attention is paid to achieving goals, setting goals and achieving them. While this is critical in today's world, it’s helpful to remember that any relationship — personal or professional — owes its existence and value equally to the other person. No relationship can last unless the other person is taken into account.

When you strive to get good results from a deal, there is a tendency to be self-centered, but you must have the same zeal for getting to know people. Respecting people and their personal boundaries is a good way to show respect for them. Over-impatient weekend calls and over-mailing are just two examples of many ways you can easily sway your ambition to the other side.

Learn to make requests, rather than order people to fulfill your requirements, even if you are the boss or the boss. Those who listen to you when you yell at them do so out of the fear that your assignment demands. We can say that they respect the assignment, not you.

Speaking politely and presenting their point of view respectfully is not only easier than leading people, they also create a pleasant environment in which employees work out of genuine passion rather than a sense of duty.

We hope you are now ready to embark on a journey of enhanced interpersonal skills. Always remember that business is not about numbers. Numbers are just the end result of a successful network of happy customers, satisfied employees, passionate employees, and a balanced lifestyle.

It is impossible to find out what a person wants without talking to him. The golden rule is to ask. Healthy relationships are built on healthy communication. Good luck!
