Joining a new team, going to negotiations with colleagues, an interview or other important meeting, a person, as a rule, wants to achieve the desired result. How can this be achieved? Some verbal and non-verbal techniques will help you find a common language with people, not only in business, but also in your personal life.
Instructions
Step 1
When interacting with people, try to exude optimism and confidence. When you first meet a person, shake his hand, it doesn't matter if it is a woman or a man. While doing this, look in the eyes and smile. A handshake promotes an early rapprochement. It will be much easier for you to win over the interlocutor and achieve what you need.
Step 2
During communication, negotiations, do not cross your arms over your chest, do not lay them behind your back, do not turn away from the interlocutor, try not to lower your head. These are all defensive movements that express uncertainty about what you are talking about. In order to dispose a person for a frank conversation, to achieve a positive result, there must be openness in your gestures. For example, when naturally moving your hands, turn your palms up, and to strengthen the argument, do not use instructive gestures.
Step 3
Listening is a talent that, unfortunately, not many people have. Most of them have to cultivate a sincere interest in people on their own. During communication, try to fully focus on the story of the interlocutor. Apologize and ask again if you misunderstood or heard something. By showing a genuine interest in the story, you will be able to quietly win over the person.
Step 4
Try to bring a small gift with you to your first meeting. For a woman it can be a flower, for a man it can be a funny keychain, a chocolate bar or other souvenir. This manner gives a very good result: the person will treat your request more carefully.
Step 5
Do not forget that compliments and praise work wonders and win people over to you. This principle can be successfully applied in family life: praise your family more often. As a rule, people want to conform to a positive opinion of themselves. And do not be afraid to talk about your shortcomings, make fun of them. A person who always tries to appear perfect is less trusted, treating him with caution.
