Effective Communication Strategies for Entrepreneurs

[AndrewNC]

As an entrepreneur, being able to effectively communicate with others is an essential skill for your success.

Communicating with:

1. Prospective customers, through your product descriptions.
2. Potential investors, when seeking the next round of investment.
3. Employees and contractors, to make sure they understand the job and get it done right.

Not to mention how effective communication skills carry over to all other areas of your life with personal and romantic relationships. In summary, if you want to be able to influence another person to do the thing you want them to do (buy your product, invest in your company, work the extra hour on a project deadline, say yes to a date with you), you're going to have to know how to communicate with them effectively.

The Human Brain is Like a Computer | Psychology for Influence & Communication



When you communicate with a person, their computer processes information in five representational systems (also known as Modalities).

1. Visual (sights)
2. Auditory (sounds)
   1. Auditory (external sounds)
   2. Auditory Digital(internal self-talk)
3. Kinesthetic (feelings)
4. Tastes
5. Smells

Your Goal as the Effective Communicator: Meet the other person at their level (not yours).

At any given time, the person you are speaking with leans towards using one specific representational system/modality. If you want to effectively input data into their computer (brain), you have to understand how their brain is currently processing information.

Example: The person you're communicating with says one of the following:

• I see what you're saying.
• I like the sound of that.
• It just feels like the right decision.

The language the person uses is a clear indicator of how their brain is currently processing information. When you begin to pay attention to the predicates the person is using in their sentence, you can now begin to structure your language to begin communicate with them in a way they they will understand.

In the past, a person might say to me "I really see a bright future ahead of me." and I would reply with the wrong modality and say something like "Sounds like you have a good grasp of things." (auditory and kinesthetic). While at the conscious level, this makes sense - it loses a lot of it's power because you're not playing into the way their brain (computer) is currently set to process information.

"It looks good that you have a clear direction in front of you." would be a better way to communicate with them.

Summary: To more effectively communicate with a person, you structure your words to operate through the representational system/modality they are currently processing with.
