Interaction Styles
Seventy-five percent of the people with whom we deal have preferences different from our own.
It is important to be flexible and tailor speech, body language and approach so that others become more open to listen and accept ideas. This is especially important in critical business situations, during the sales process, problem solving, working on a team or providing customer service. When you can spot cues and subtle differences in the way people behave, you can effectively deal with team members, employees, peers and customers. This is available in a 2-hour webinar version or in-person. Learn more at www.interactionstyle.com.
