Key Talking Points:

• “Never split the difference” Chris Voss and Tahl Raz
  • Saying “no” is the illusion of control, saying “yes” means you need to take action
  • When you call someone and ask if it is a bad time, the initial reactive response is “no” when really you are taking action to speak further
  • Active listening
  • Behavior change stairway model
    • Active listening- minimal encouragers, effective pauses, mirror questions, labeling (seems like, sounds like), paraphrasing, summarizing
    • Empathy- calibrated tactical questions, understanding customer
    • Build rapport
    • Influence others to do what’s good for them and good for you
    • Behavior change
  • Body language- 55% of what someone conveys
    • When selling over the phone, stand up and use gestures you would normally use. Project emotion
    • The mouth does what the body tells it to do
  • Self-control and emotional regulation- use happy, excited voice
  • What type of personality are you?
    • Analyst- methodical and diligent, speaks cold and distant, skeptical by nature
    • Accommodator- build relationship, people pleaser
    • Assertive – wants to be heard, tell rather than ask, once they are convinced you understand then they will listen
  • Know why you are reading the book- what is the objective/goal? Read multiple times
    • Underline what is important
    • Read what you underline and write ideas on bottom
    • Put own ideas on top, be a student
    • Powerpoint presentation on notes
• Change
  • Change something small only you would know
  • Doesn’t have to be a huge problem
  • Change how you feel, change your body stance
