By John Doerr “And if you can't be with the one you love, honey, love the one you're with, love the one you're with, love the one you're with, love the one you're with.…” - Stephen Stills Why does it seem that our clients (and prospects) too often take the advice of seventies rock stars when selecting their professional services providers?

How to Begin a Conversation
Successful people are dynamic communicators. Dynamic communicators have mastered three basic communication skills: conversation, writing and presenting. Inviting people to participate in a conversation and getting their agreement before jumping in is an important, but often overlooked conversation skill. People who are invited to join a conversation, and choose to do so, are more likely to be better participants. If you want to become an excellent conversationalist, take a few minutes to explain why you want to have a conversation. Ask the other person if he or she has the time and is willing to participate in a conversation on that topic. Your conversations will be better and more productive if you follow this simple common sense advice.

Guidepost questions move the sales conversation the direction you want it to go. And it's always better to use a question to direct a conversation than an explanation.

Interested in Leadership, or Committed to Becoming a Leader?
Many managers in leadership roles have stunted personal growth. Their "years of leadership experience and learning" is formal education (usually technical and/or management) followed by a year or two of experience multiplied twenty or thirty times. Here's an all too typical dinner conversation I had with a senior manager in the middle of a two-day improvement workshop I was running with a senior management team. The company was in crisis. It was struggling just to stay even in its industry.
