Speak your mind, grow up your business

by: ibrahimbadhusa

Effective communication is absolutely essential for business growth. When you speak your mind, you should pay special attention to your body language, diplomacy, style, pitch, vocabulary and tone modulations. You have to watch how you communicate with our customers and if you are not candid or give the impression you are not speaking your mind, then you may be deemed to be an ineffective communicator. Speaking your mind is required for managing business negotiations, handling existing and prospective customers. While speaking your mind, use tact and skill to impress your listeners. When you are frank and genuinely speak your mind, people will respond to you positively.

There are a few points you should bear in mind while speaking your mind to promote your business interests. If you speak in a high pitch, it may be misconstrued as you are nervous. Practice speaking in a subdued pitch. Your tone reveals your confidence level. People can easily judge by your tone if you are angry or diffident. Try to maintain a neutral tone without sounding too monotonous. You have to adapt your manner of speaking to suit to suit varying situations. Talking too rapidly is again a sign of nervousness. Talking too slowly can be tedious for the hearers. So keep speak at a normal pace.
Being a spirited speaker does not mean that you make a fool of yourself while communicating. It means being livelier or upbeat while talking so that customers and fellow businessmen are eager to listen to every word you utter. As far as possible, use common words that are easily understood and that are easy to hear. If you cannot pronounce a word or are unsure of its meaning, avoid using it all together.

 
Create your unique positioning in the marketplace by the way you speak your mind. You should effectively craft your business message and articulate your uniqueness using your gift of expression. You should project an image that is in consonance with your message. The old adage, you never have a second chance to make a first impression rings true when talking your mind to targeted prospects. A proven marketing tool for finding new customers and helping your business grow is by speaking your mind as a speaker. Many local business organizations are all the time looking for keynote speakers. When searching for opportunities to speak your mind, do not confine only to trade shows and conferences. Regardless of venue, make sure you have an excellent speech with a convincing message. You will achieve success as a speaker and know the way to grow your business.
Most business people are not born speakers with a natural gift, but they have learned to speak their mind through persistent effort and by a trial and error process. Speaking what is in your mind is necessary and must be done in order to sustain and grow your business. Growing Your Business need not be a painful process all the time. Once you establish yourself as a competent speaker your popularity will begin to soar and that will result in your business growth.

Although most of us have had an impressive education with an expansive curriculum, we were you taught anything about effective communication and business growth. Once you develop communication skills and learn to speak your mind, your business will grow much faster than you expect.

Express our potential capability unlimited. And a pleasure : We fired our boss. I saw non permanent building. It's not a complicated process or equipment. As many people thinking, a manufacture is something big and complicated. But this is simple. There is just 10 people there doing process daily. But, when we get reality that Net profit over revenue is about 30-60%, it so surprised. There is many people with more money but doesn't know what should be to do with their free money. Or maybe, they just do a business with low profit over revenue. He also paid people who he learned the business and has been working 30 years in that core business. Some points that I noticed: 1. Business idea that's never die. 2. Always study business knowledge although he is still in a company as an employee. 3. Using all relation and environment as tools. 4. Build what can be built step by step to support business plan. 5. Work after five for his own business extra hard. 6. When chance comes, he hold it and exposed all his potentially capability in all angle. 7. He recruited experience people and not worry to pay. 8. Carefully in using of profit. The priority is paid for loan and posted to new investment to grow the company. 9. Sharing with unlucky people. 10. All of above things will run smoothly and effectively if we pray to god everytime.

Right business is big mountain in the beginning but become beautiful beach in ending

We are always surprised when we meet our friend that has a settle business in his arms. Maybe two years ago, one year ago, or maybe just three months ago, he is still same like us. An employee of company and same level or maybe lower than us. He has salary same with us. Why is he so successful now? What does he do? He worked 8 hours and do a joke like us. But during 8 hours and after 5 pm, is he do same like us? Why did he left us a thousands km? a million km? His income is not only to be double, but maybe 10 times or more than us. We just look our face in the mirror and said: why am I still here? It's our homework.......

Marketing and Education Background

When I was in high school, I imagine to work in laboratorium since I loved to study chemical and get the best performance between all my study. Then my dream comes true when I go to college in Chemical Engineering in a University. But when I graduated, where the situation of Indonesia in the process of Political exchange from orde baru to Reformasi that impacted to bad condition of economy then it caused the vacancy for fresh graduated was very limited. Fortunately, I could join my uncle company and become a sales marketing for piping, valves and instruments that is so different with my background. Nearly chemical engineering is not used in my job. In the second company that I became sales engineer in Petrochemical Company, I think more marketing activities that must be done than technical or chemical. In this company I became road engineer also that should be handled by person with education background civil engineering or have experience for it. But I can do my job normally and last more than 4 years. These conditions open my mind. Education is just for open our brain to know the system. After this, we can apply the experience to another job but we must be brave to take the challenge.
