I haven't spoken to her since but the other ladies have also kept their distance from me. I don't know what to do.

    As an introvert who went into sales, I appreciate what you are presenting here and will add that introverts and those on the spectrum can develop good ability to listen, which is an important feature of conversation that many forget.

    • @TheWizardOfWords
      @TheWizardOfWords  2 роки тому +14

      Right on, Ruth. My mother and father owned a real estate firm and two of their best associates were introverts who weren't much for conversation, but they were GREAT listeners and qualifiers and producers! I would venture to say that the ability to listen is one of the most important features of a good salesperson. It's not about convincing a person to buy what he/she doesn't need. It's about LISTENING and discovering the needs of the buyer, and then producing the appropriate product that answers those needs. Notice I said "good" salesperson :)

    Lead in lines are memorable. Personal experience. Many years ago I was at a party filled with a certain Industry type people. I was not part of the industry, therefore many found an exit soon after they learned I was an “outsider”, except for one person. After he learned about my job, he said “ Tell me more about that.” He made me feel comfortable and hence after almost 15 years later, I’m talking about that memorable experience. Excellent advice Dan.

    I loved your video!! (Especially your “guest” appearances …..fur babies)
    I, too, was blessed with a father that taught me communication and importantly listening skills. People would come and talk to my dad for hours, and I would barely hear him say a word. I think he just used some of your leading questions then just sat and listened. So many people just don’t have anyone to listen….I mean REALLY listen. I learned early that it is a skill. Sometimes it’s very hard to stay focused on someone else’s problems or other ramblings. Lol
    But Dad could always do it. I’m sure he could have really benefited from your exit strategies lol
    Thank you for your very informative videos. I’m new subscriber but looking forward to binging your videos!!

Now I know how to initiate and REMEMBER 👍(😄as long as they have listening skills)

    I’ve just found your channel and watched so many videos, thank you! So helpful and valuable!
    One thing I did want to ask, I’m not sure if you have any content on this already.. some of these tactics I’ve tried actually backfired on me historically. They gave people a confidence boost in speaking with me and inflated their egos rather than respecting me and seeing me as conscientious or an effective communicator, more like I was interested in them/enamoured by them. Where do you think I’ve gone amiss? Asking for their thoughts etc seems in my situations to pass the power to them in the dynamic and people love talking about themselves so much they don’t usually stop to ask you the same in return!

    • @TheWizardOfWords
      @TheWizardOfWords  2 роки тому +2

      bassist, maybe you went overboard in receiving their comments--especially the suggestions that weren't helpful? Perhaps when they weren't getting the message that you were being respectful, but not implementing their suggestions, you should have engaged as little as possible after that. When you suggest that some people thought you were enamored with them, it tells me you went past "thank you; I'll consider that."

      @@TheWizardOfWords thanks so much for your reply! Sorry I was vague, I’d meant in social situations and friendships I usually find that taking interest backfires on me and I sort of become the cheerleader for everybody else. In work scenarios you’re absolutely right, I drop my engagement and seem to manage work relationships better. I find social interactions so daunting because there’s no exchange like work (service for salary) it’s based almost purely on whether people like you or not (or can use you in some way including for attention). Would love a video on this topic!

    Thank you for the video! I am an introvert with ADHD, and I often struggle in social situations specifically when I there is no obvious goal in the conversation. However, that tip about acknowledging the person who had an idea while still getting the last word on it (and therefore taking ownership) actually made me feel angry, because other people have done this to me 100 times. It doesn’t really seem right, and I wonder whether they were doing it consciously. Part of the reason I get anxiety about conversations is because of these sort of duplicitous, backstabbing tactics- I find it very upsetting. It’s good to be aware that people are doing this though, it’ll help me protect myself going forward. I definitely will try to use the advice you’ve given to serve as a starting point to make connections with others, and I really appreciate that you’ve taken the time to help people by putting this information out there.
