Listening is perhaps the most important thing in sales.

Unfortunately, when I first got interested in listening, I had a hard time figuring out where to start.

If you want to be a better listener, here are some great resources (links in comments):

Read This Book: TalkWorks by Andrew Bailey and Gerald Egan*. This will show you how to get more out of life through better conversation.

Watch This Video: The Power of Deliberate Listening by Ronnie Polaneczky. Entertaining and inspirational talk including her Ninja listening method.

Listen To This Podcast: And if you want to go deeper tune into Stephen On Listening, part of the Dialogue Project with Karl James. This episode includes useful comments on stillness and saying nothing.

These 3 resources will accelerate your listening journey.
