Hello again. Gary Lockwood here. Being effective in the context of
this mile-a-minute business world means that people are required
to work together effectively up, down and across their organizations.
Whenever you work together with others, your success at reaching
agreement depends on your influencing skills
You are influencing if you are:
* lobbying a decision maker to your point of view
* getting someone to realize they need your products or services
* coaching someone to help them improve their performance
Today's tip shows you the skills required to effectively influence
those around you.
My hope is that you use the ideas and information in these
BizSuccess Breakthroughs broadcasts to get the results you really
want. If you want some help in putting them into practice, or if you
have questions, email or call me.
One small request? Please take a moment to forward this issue
to a few friends and colleagues. (or to LOTS of friends and
colleagues <G> Thanks!)
SUCCESS to You....
Gary Lockwood, Your Business Coach

THIS ISSUE'S MESSAGE
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Influencing Your Way To Success
Work has become a team sport. Everywhere you look, businesses
are asking their people to work in groups or teams.
Productivity in the workplace is more than the sum of individual
hard work - it is increasingly dependent on successful interaction
inside and outside the organization. Flexible and fast responses
to customer needs also require effective teamwork. To meet
competitive standards of productivity, quality and speed of
innovation, work is increasingly dependent on the effectiveness
of groups and teams.
Whenever you work with other people, your success depends on
effective interpersonal skills and successful teamwork. Anytime your
aim is to get someone to make a decision, change their opinion or
modify their behavior, you need influencing skills. Your influencing
skills are key to your success.
There are five specific types of skills required to be an effective
influencer. As we examine each of them, take stock of your own
aptitude in each of these areas.
Harmony skills - verbal and nonverbal behaviors you use to
establish rapport with the other person. Harmony skills include:
* consciously using and observing body language (theirs & yours)
* avoiding buzzwords that could confuse or alienate others
Questioning skills - Questioning skills include the conscious
ability to ask open-ended questions that encourage discussion
and making suggestions through asking “How about ...” questions.
Comprehension skills - Comprehension skills include listening
without interruption and your ability to use paraphrasing to test
your grasp of the message the other person is trying to relay.
Agreement skills - Agreement skills include consciously using
good open questions to establish the other person’s needs and
wants and using benefits (theirs, not yours) to make your case.
Influencing is an important key to unlock your success, not just as
a team player, but also as a manager, friend, spouse and parent.
The way you interact with the people around you will determine
the outcomes you enjoy.

QUOTES To Get You Thinking
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A synonym is a word you use when you can't spell the word
you first thought of.
Burt Bacharach
If you come to a fork in the road, take it.
Yogi Berra
Good judgment comes from experience, and often,
experience comes from bad judgment.
Rita Mae Brown
A hunch is creativity trying to tell you something.
Frank Capra
Never mistake knowledge for wisdom.
One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life.
Sandra Carey

THE FUNNIES
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Stop by our website every day to see the Business Cartoon
of the Day by Ted Goff. http://www.bizsuccess.com/cartoon.htm
The Fax
--------
1st Person: "Do you know anything about this fax-machine?"
2nd Person: "A little. What's wrong?"
1st Person: "Well, I sent a fax, and the recipient called
back to say all she received was a cover-sheet and a blank
page. I tried it again, and the same thing happened."
2nd Person: "How did you load the sheet?"
1st Person: "It's a pretty sensitive memo, and I didn't
want anyone else to read it by accident, so I folded
it so only the recipient would open it and read it."
--------------------------------------------------
I was in a car dealership a while ago when a large motor home was towed
into the garage. The front of the vehicle was in dire need of repair and
the whole thing generally looked like an extra in "Twister." I
asked the
manager what had happened. He told me that the driver had set the
cruise control, then went in back to make a sandwich.
*******
I called a company and asked to speak to Bob. The person who answered
said, "Bob is on vacation. Would you like to hold?"
