Talk, Talk, Talk
Posted by Teresa | Under Writing Lessons Thursday Apr 30, 2009Sometimes I get the feeling that people are afraid to talk with each other. I mean, most people will talk however, it isn’t talking in order to build a relationship with someone, it is to SELL them something.
Too many people don’t want to get to know each other and create a solid foundation with another person. Why is that? I mean I understand if you have a business you want to make money…we all want that…but let me ask you this, “Do you normally buy from someone you don’t know or even like?
I am sure the answer to the question is, No.
Well, I encourage you to start getting involved in conversations with others. Find out where they are from, what their interests are, what their hobbies are and I bet you will find there are many things you can talk about. Along with the fact of having common business interests as well.
And it isn’t about for just the sake of talking…it is also about being authentic in the reasoning for the conversations. During conversations, great things can be created…new ideas, thoughts, resources, contacts and best of all connecting with another person or a group of people.
I would like to grow a discussion around this question—during the last week, what is one thing that sprouted out from a conversation you had with someone?
