Creative Communication

1. Communicate in creative ways.

 2. Focus on the positives of what your asking for.  

 3. Reduce risk, so people will be more likely to do what you ask.  Increase risk if you're trying to get them not to do something. 

 4. Focus on the behavior and not the individual.  Such as you didn't do this right.  Say this wasn't done right.

5. Give people options. 

 6. Focus on what you'd like for others to do first.

 7. Occasionally, rhyme your ideas to improve retention.  Such as...be a buddy and not a bully.

After talking to him, I discovered that he was an important decision-maker.  We did actually have a lot “in common”. If I had judged him by his appearance, I would have missed the opportunity to talk. Next, I made a call to another prospect. I told myself that it was a
