[Excerpt from The Little E-book of Closing by Jeffrey Gitomer author of The Sales Bible]

What causes people not to listen?

  • Sometimes people are afraid to hear what is about to be said so they block it out. Don’t be afraid to listen.
  • Sometimes you take the other person for granted — spouse, parent, child.
  • Sometimes you’re mentally pre-occupied with other things.
  • Sometimes you’re just rude.
  • Sometimes the person grates on you, so you don’t listen.
  • Sometimes you have other things on your mind.
  • Sometimes you know the person speaking, and have prejudged them.
  • Sometimes you don’t respect the other person and block the listening process.
  • Sometimes you think you already know what is about to be said.
  • Sometimes you think you know it all … or is that all the time?

There are many secrets to becoming a good listener, but the one that simplifies them all is: Just shut-up!
