5 Essential Communication Skills for a Successful Entrepreneur


Posted September 28, 2017 by worldwinn

A business coach can help you build the essential communication skills that you need to succeed in business.

 
Successful people are happy to share their 'secrets' and you often hear terms such as preparation meeting luck, identifying and seizing opportunities and good old fashioned hard work and stick-to-it-ness. It is difficult to overstate the importance of these basic principles of success but there is one huge area that is often missed. Good communication is a major factor in entrepreneurial success and it is not a coincidence that the most successful entrepreneurs tend to be good speakers and effective communicators.

A business coach can help you build the essential communication skills that you need to succeed in business.

1. Communicating Important Information first
Being a good communicator requires sharing crucial information first. Whether you are delivering an important presentation or speaking with a prospective client, structure the information such that the benefits are communicated first. This strategy ensures that you are answering the question of “what’s in it for me” and getting the attention of the listener.

2. Maintaining a professional demeanor
It's often not what you say but how you say it. It is easy to speak politely and maintain a calm demeanor when audience is responsive but not so much when things aren’t going your way. Dealing with difficult clients, rude partners and general undesirable conversations and situations is all part of business communication. A good business coach can provide strategies to communicate effectively and professionally regardless of the situation.

3. Exercising Emotional Intelligence
There are many hidden factors that play an important role in everyday communication. Your client may be having a difficult week or there may be social or cultural nuances that may influence how your information is received or interpreted. Cultivating emotional intelligence helps identify these subtle cues during communication. Building emotional intelligence can dramatically increase the number of pleasant or positive interactions you have with customers, vendors and employees.

4. Non Verbal Communication
What is not said is often more significant than the words that are spoken. Non-verbal communication such as tone of voice and body language can often reveal the message beyond words. To be successful it is important to pick up on non-verbal cues and respond to them effectively. It is also important to be mindful of our own non-verbal cues and ensure you are projecting confidence, competency and authority.

5. Listening
Being a good listener is one of the most valuable communication skills that an entrepreneur can possess. Listening effectively helps build strong relationships and prevents misunderstanding. By improving listening ability you become more efficient in communication and are better able to influence others.

Learning to be an effective communicator is one of the best investments an entrepreneur can make, and one that pays dividends for a lifetime. This skill also benefits both your professional and personal life.
