Non-verbal cues are just as expressive as verbal
communication.
Non-verbal communication includes use of
space, body positioning, facial expressions, etc.
Listen, Look and Observe Beyond the Obvious
Be confident you can develop that outstanding
skill you have.
Get inspired by James Altuchers book:
Choose Yourself.
Choose Yourself
Everyday, practice.
Say hello to strangers. Get to
know your neighbors.
It will get easier and easier with
time
Icebreakers

do and why the listener should give a shit.
≒ 17 seconds to get to Wow!.
This is a boring and safe
introduction.

Communication Principles in Sales  Part Two
 When one door closes, another
opens; but we often look so long and
so regretfully upon the closed door
that we do not see the one which
has opened for us. 
~ Alexander Graham Bell ~
Video
Almost everything you
need to know about
persuasion can be found
in this video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xmkfg_dcHFI
Another worthwhile video Julian Treasure
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIho2S0ZahI
Would you buy from this guy?
My guess is, yes. So emulate
him. Copy-paste and deliver
what he does.
 Every child is an artist. The
problem is how to remain an
artist once we grow up. 
~ Pablo Picasso ~
When you want to make a
point, tell people there are
Three Reasons Why.
The Power of Three
Using quotes from well known speakers makes your point
seem more valid and makes a big impact.
For example, here are some quotes by Shakespeare that
can be applied in a variety of different situations:
 It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in
ourselves.
 Better 3 hours too soon than a minute too late.
 Listen to many, speak to a few.
Use of Quotes
 Maybe you dont have to
push yourself forward.
Maybe you just have to
stop holding yourself back. 
~ Doe Zantamata ~
 Our world is not shaped
by those who think
similarly, but by those who
dare to think differently. 
~ Rashida Rowe ~
 I believe in a visual
language that should be as
strong as the written word. 
~ David LaChapelle ~
Back up your claims with
sources and factual information
in order to support the points
you are trying to make.
Support Your Argument
Homework
 What is my biggest weakness?
Write 150 words describing your biggest
weakness.
 What is my biggest strength?
Write 150 words describing your biggest
strenght.
Exercise 1
 Give to a friend and ask for feedback. Youll be surprised how
others see you.
 Write yourself a
congratulations letter.

day.
