It is no secret that good communication skills are essential to the successful real estate agent and effective management of every real estate business. What’s the best way to amp up your communication skills? Analyzing how you listen. Usually we consider communication to be how we speak, contact, and email with others, but listening is just as important an aspect of communication as speaking. The Personal Listening Profile is a learning tool that will guide each individual respondent towards their personal best in communicating with clients, team members and management staff in the real estate industry. Whether you are looking to fine tune your or your employees’ customer service, presentation skills, conflict resolution, or team building, the Personal Listening Profile will give you the tools you need to do so. The strongest Real Estate Teams I have coached understand that success depends on their whole team communicating effectively, with both the goals of the company and unified environments in mind. The quality of communication between the speaker and the recipient of the message does not solely rely on the speaker’s ability to verbally present the message. One of the most influential factors in the quality and outcome of all verbal communications lies within the ability of those receiving the message to listen effectively and then respond appropriately. The Personal Listening Profile will examine 5 different approaches to listening: appreciative, empathic, comprehensive, discerning, and evaluative. It will then provide the tools you need to educate yourself  and/or your employees and enable you and them to adjust methods of approach toward different individuals who will hear the message. By examining and learning to work with each person’s natural listening styles, your Real Estate business will be better positioned to overcome listening barriers, reduce conflict and achieve greater individual, team and organizational performance.
