6,900 Quotes About Relationship

Lenee's aunt is a master conversationalist who can enter a party of strangers and leave with a handful of new best friends. When she walks into a room, she is on a mission to learn everyone else’s story. Her focus is so completely dedicated to hearing about others that her own story is irrelevant to the conversation. It feeds her feelings of joy to get to know others and hear their stories. Try it!

If you truly want to impress someone, remember points they shared in previous conversations and mention it when you reconnect.

When you ask people about themselves, are you just being polite or do you truly want to know? When you focus your intention and questions on them, it makes them feel special and valued. However, if you don’t sincerely want to know, it can backfire as appearing insincere.

Show Them You CARE. In the business world, mastering conversational skills and paying attention to the details can take you to the top and help keep you there!

Teddy Roosevelt has been credited with saying, “People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.” Think about that from a sales perspective.

We’ve all known that one salesperson whose primary motivation in a transaction is to earn a commission—regardless of their customer’s needs. From their body language to their self-driven talking points to the “close three times and then some” techniques–they come across as egocentric and uncaring.

On the other hand, when presented with a service-minded professional who strives to deliver the best possible experience, aren’t you duly impressed? They are genuinely interested in learning about your wants, needs, and desires to help ensure you achieve your goals. They are the kind of person you’ll turn to again and again—not only for your own business but to refer to others as well.

Be inquisitive. You already know what you know. A straightforward way to learn something new is simply by asking questions. The more you ask, the more you can learn . . . about life and work, about other people, and about yourself.

Whether you master the art of asking questions to become a skilled communicator, start conversations, or to connect in a more meaningful way, questions can help you build rapport and strengthen relationships.
