kakinota : to sell is human by daniel pink

The beginning part of this book is quite boring. It explained about all the researches and outcomes done by the author and other group of researchers. Actually it is important because the author wanted to give some proven proofs before he went on to the solutions and conclusions part ( the 2nd section) which I find it interestingly useful and can be used in our daily communication with others too.

The result of all the tests done explained the difference between an extrovert (loud & pushy) and an introvert (shy & timid) as known by public but findings also found the 3rd personality - AN AMBIVERT which consist some traits of an introvert and some from an extrovert. In simple terms - an ambivert know when to speak up and when to shut up. It is considered as a PERFECT traits not only in sales but as a whole person too. Interesting!

According to Jim Collins, a well known author, a great way to start a friendly and
comfortable conversation is by asking
" Where are you from? " rather than " What do you do? " which sometimes considered as rude for certain cultures.

I personally loved the 3 step of essential rules :

1. Amazing Silence
    which taught us to wait for 15 sec before
    giving our thoughts. The 15 sec silence
    give us enough time to process infos
    we heard and think for the suitable
    answers especially if received negative
     infos about oneself.

2. "Yes and ..."
     A conversation begins with " Yes and .."
     will likely turn into more friendly
     discussion rather than " Yes but ... "
     which sometimes seen as a start for
     more negative outcome.

3. Make your partner look good.
     This require a lot of positive traits in a
     person to do this kindly act. In this world
     well known as "dog eat dog world",
     everyone doing their best to outsmart
     one another. With all the reality shows
     showing that people can and will do
     whatever it take to been seen as winner.
     It is quite refreshing to meet someone
     that is totally different from the rest.
