11 habits of ridiculously likeable people By Travis Bradberry Oct 19, 2017
• They ask thoughtful questions - The biggest mistake people make when it comes to listening is they’re so focused on what they’re going to say next or how what the other person is saying is going to affect them that they fail to hear what’s being said. The words come through loud and clear, but the meaning is lost. A simple way to avoid this is to ask a lot of questions. People like to know you’re listening, and something as simple as a clarification question shows that not only are you listening, you also care about what they’re saying. You’ll be surprised how much respect and appreciation you gain just by asking questions.

Rules for Reversing
• The Rule of Three Plus
When reversed, a prospect will always redefine his question.
Reversing is a very effective strategy for clearing the smoke and getting to the real questions and issues.

trust?
By communicating in the manner that makes us – the sales person – like the prospect.
