other words, just as much emphasis that is put into having a good elevator pitch or to be able to explain the great features and benefits your services should be
applied to your listening capabilities

This is one vital aspect to Personal networking and relationships that shouldn't be overlooked. You may be a great listener but it's always
good to do a spot check and consistently welcome
improvement
How great of a listener are you?
Ask yourself the following questions
1. Do you seek first to understand and then to be understood?
Sometimes we can be so excited and engrossed with our own agenda that we
are in a hurry to spread the word and speak of our own needs. There's nothing wrong with doing this, however, it should
not interfere with lending your ear in a way that allows you to receive important
information coming from your conversation partner. You must be receptive and
understanding regardless of your own current status
2. Are you conscious of how much you talk versus how much you listen?
If you are actively trying to become a better listener, it will do you well to pay
attention to how much and how well you are listening. To become a
champion listener, you should speak a few words in order to get the
conversation going and then listen attentively. When you determine that enough has been discussed about the other person's interests, it's safe for
you to express yours
3. Do you prove that you are listening?
When engaged in a conversation, it's not enough to simply stare and listen. You must react and respond
to what is being said with your body language; You should nod
your head, make facial expressions, smile, etc.. Additional
proof that you are listening is to ask questions and give brief input.
4. Is your input effective and well received?
The only way to give good input is to clearly comprehend
what is being explained to you. The reaction of your conversation partner will indicate the level of your
understanding
5. Do you ask questions?
Input is great but nothing says you are listening like asking relevant
questions. The right questions are absolute proof that you are
listening and how well.
