Duncan Nugget® #34: Your Undivided Attention
If there is one thing that’s hard to give and even harder to get, it’s undivided attention.
It seems like there is barely enough time in the day to pay attention to your stuff, let alone somebody else’s, right? Well, guess what? Everybody feels the same way you do.
From business to education to parenting, everybody wants somebody’s undivided attention because it’s a vital aspect of success. If a person doesn’t have your undivided attention, it’s hard to make the sale, it’s hard to get the message across, and it’s hard to influence behavior.
Exceptional communicators are masters of earning your undivided attention because they make you believe that you will gain or miss out on something of perceived value.
The key is: you have to focus on the other person’s interests, desires, and beliefs.
