Body
Honesty, Building Credibility and Trust and Detecting Deception - A client says he
had no problems with investment and rubs his nose. Do you know what that means
and what to say and do next? You share critical information with a client but
hide the palms of your hands. Will they trust you? What can you do next? Your client
tells you she feels comfortable with the results of your investments then
sweeps her upper lip with her tongue. What does that mean, and what should you
say and do next? How can you create deep, authentic trust and connection? Can
you read body honesty? In this interactive program, you will learn to watch for
cues and use questioning techniques and unique "monitoring" cues of
your own to check for honesty. In addition, you will learn how to be credible
in your business and personal relationships.
