Listening carefully allows us to ask informed questions, revealing what our customers need.
Lately I've been reminded of the value of listening, better. Whenever I find myself anticipating what someone is going to say because I've heard the tone and content before, I'm reminded of what author Don Miguel Ruiz of The Four Agreements wrote "whenever we make assumptions, we're asking for problems."
My most valuable resource is the daily communication with clients, fellow brand managers and industry experts who remind me of value of listening carefully in order to ask better questions. Better questions get to the root of problem and the ways to solve them. Turning "what can we sell you" into "how can we help you" is a shift from a pitch to supporting the needs and wants of your customers, and in turn gives a more satisfying result.
