Tell the audience what you're going to say, say it; then tell them what you've said.
Dale Carnegie
The goal of effective communication should be for the listener to say, 'Me, too!' versus 'So what?'.
Jim Rohn
If you only talk to a person's head and not their heart people won't listen to you.
Les Brown
Seek first to understand, then to be understood.
Steven Covey
People are persuaded more by the depth of your conviction than by the height of your logic -- more by your own enthusiasm than any proof you can offer.
Cavett Robert
What convinces is conviction. Believe in the argument you're advancing. If you don't you're as good as dead. The other person will sense that something isn't there, and no chain of reasoning, no matter how logical or elegant or brilliant, will win your case for you.
Lyndon B. Johnson
To presuade or sell you must solve a person's problem or help them seize an opportunity.
Tony Alessandra
If people like you they'll listen to you, but if they trust you they'll do business with you.
Zig Ziglar
There is a difference between conceit and confidence. Conceit is bragging about yourself. Confidence means you believe you can get the job done.
Johnny Unitis
My father taught me that the only way you can make good at anything is to practice, and then practice some more. It's easy to practice something you're good at, and that's what most people do. What's tough is to go out and work hard on things you don't do very well.
