Adapt to your audience

To communicate effectively you need to direct your way of speaking to the individual nature of your audience. Everyone we meet during our daily lives are communicated with in a different way. You more than likely talk differently to your friends in comparison to business associates. You will need to adapt your content and message around whether you are talking to customers, suppliers, colleagues and future partners.

Listen

Excellent listening skills is an important part to communicating effectively. You need to listen for feedback from the recipient. Do they understand what you are saying? Do they agree with your message? Are they on board with your goals? If you carry on speaking with no regard as to how the information is being received the communication process will be ineffective. Become an active listener and your customers and colleagues will begin to quickly feel that they can trust you and believe in your mission.

Feedback

Ask for regular feedback during the communication process. Was your message understood correctly? Is everyone on the right track. Sometimes information can be misinterpreted, which reduces accuracy, as well as wastes valuable work hours. If you want your staff within your workplace to be productive ensure they understand what is expected of them. Ask people to relay back to you what they have understood from your message.

Follow up

After a meeting, presentation or supervision with colleagues ensure you follow up at a later date to check that everyone is working to task. If you have been involved in pitching for potential business investment, don’t just assume that a “silence” means that they are not interested. Contact them directly for feedback and to remind them that your are there to help. It may be something as simple as they have forgotten your contact details, or they may have chosen another business. If you receive negative feedback, use it to your advantage in order to adapt your communication methods for the future.    

To conclude, adopting effective methods of communication will contribute to the smooth running of your business as well as contribute toward further sales. Good communication engenders trust.
