We talk about the need to be influential in a business in our sections about Sales and Presentation. However, the skills that are needed to be more influential at work are founded in the way that we communicate and those in turn affect sales and presentations, not the other way around.
Here are some key questions to consider:
- Why do some people always seem to get what they want and need and others struggle?
- What makes someone really influential?
- Do you understand and apply the principles of influence?
- Is being influential born or made?
- Can you be influential without being manipulative?
- How do you get in sync with people and build rapport with them?
- Do you have to be an extrovert to be influential?
- Why is it easier to sell to customers than influence internal colleagues?
