It's a Good Life How to Connect – an interview with Kevin Buffini #093
“If you talk to a man in a language that he understands, it goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, it goes to his heart.” — Nelson Mandela
Technology makes communicating with family, friends and clients easier than ever before; however, it’s also made it more difficult to connect with one another. As a result, we encounter misunderstandings with those around us because we’re not connecting with them on their terms. In this episode, Brian Buffini interviews Kevin Buffini, head of the Heritage Profile team at Buffini & Company to discuss the common sales and communication styles we share. Kevin not only outlines how to identify which styles we belong to, he also offers tips to help us communicate better with those of the opposite style. You’ll learn the advantages and disadvantages of each style, how our style and the way we perceive things impacts how we react, and the one phrase to use to clear up any miscommunication. Learn to communicate better with family and clients alike so you can deepen your relationships with them.
