𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘-𝗕𝗔𝗦𝗘𝗗 𝗦𝗞𝗜𝗟𝗟: 𝙋𝙀𝙍𝘾𝙀𝙋𝙏𝙄𝙑𝙀𝙉𝙀𝙎𝙎 👁️👁️
Building great relationships not only requires high EQ, it requires performance-based skills that allow us to engage and make fast friends. This is where being 𝙋𝙀𝙍𝘾𝙀𝙋𝙏𝙄𝙑𝙀 comes into play.
Being perceptive means opening your eyes and paying attention to all of
the tiny nuances of data you pick up from the people you engage with. I’m not
talking about body language alone. You must look for what I call their 𝘽𝙀𝘼𝘾𝙊𝙉𝙎 𝙊𝙁 𝙋𝙍𝙄𝘿𝙀! 🎖️🎖️ These are items cherished by other people, worn or placed so that people will see them. It’s important to look for these when you walk into another person’s environment because the keys to building a great relationship may be right in front of you.
When you see things such as wedding rings, clothing brands, pictures of family, sports team memorabilia, or vacation pictures, they allow for you to operate in commonalities or like-minded interests.
Once you pick up on the data from the environment, it’s important to be
𝙨𝙖𝙫𝙫𝙮 in your approach. Knowing what to say, how to say it, and to whom
you are saying it are all components of being savvy. Developing it comes with
practice, and many times less is more. A 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙚𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 acknowledgment or a
short, direct compliment about what you see in their environment can spark a
deeper conversation. It can also initiate self-disclosure from someone without
having to tangentially speak about anything and everything.
Be selective in choosing relationship-building entry points. This is how to gain information and develop trust. 🤗
