Eliminate Confusion in Your Business Conversations
- Speak clearly. When you are speaking, be concise, clear and direct with your message.
- Practice active listening. Listen carefully when someone is asking you a question. When you understand the questions, you will be able to provide a solid answer.
- Pay attention to your body language. Be sure to stand tall and make direct eye contact with the person you are speaking to. Try not to cross your arms and be sure to occasionally nod to show that you are listening.
- Be patient. If someone still doesn’t understand you, eliminate confusion in conversation by patiently taking the time to answer questions. Getting clarification at the start means a much better experience in the long run.
