How to Improve Any Conversation and Get Your Way: The 43:57 Principle Will Help – Learn to Listen
Most people rarely actually listen to each other, especially if it's a standard conversation about the weather.
It is believed that the most difficult conversation is the situation when one of the participants cannot wait for his turn to speak.
This is why we want to suggest understanding the 43:57 rule, which will make it possible to make the conversation more productive.
Psychologists believe that this rule will make your conversations better.
What does this principle mean?
This rule means that 43% of the time we speak, and 57% - we listen to the interlocutor. This rule is also great for sales managers.
In other words, you'll have a better chance of getting your point across to the other person if you listen more and talk less.
Also, don't be afraid of "silence" in a conversation, as it gives you the opportunity to formulate your thoughts better.
