  Running Time: 7:44 Date: 01/02/2013 You know what you're suggesting is sound. So why won't people agree with you? Getting your ideas accepted by others - whether it's in a contract negotiation, securing an order, or persuading your colleagues to agree a course of action - is indispensable to success in business. But how do you convince them you're right? And what do you do if they say no? Tom Harbottle, of Training Managers of Australia, has many years' experience in winning the agreement of others. He says that you must first know what you want, then take into account what the other party may want. And - most important of all - think about HOW you're delivering your message: most rejections come because people don't like the way they're being addressed. Engender trust and respect - and make yourself likeable to others - and you'll win through more often. Topics: Business Processes, Management, Personal Development |
