In order to provide the highest level of service, empathy is essential. Being able to see things from your client’s point of view allows you to discern not only what your client is saying, but what they’re not via cues in body language and demeanor. This makes clients feel heard and respected, building trust, and leading to great word-of-mouth referrals for your top-notch services.
- Keep expectations in check.
Set them at the first meeting, asking clients what their expectations are, then using a dose of 60% reason, 40% empathy to temper both unrealistic expectations and associated emotional responses.
- Learn how to better resolve conflicts through negotiation.
The negotiation process is a high-stakes game for both parties. And agents with a high EQ are better at making it feel less like a tactical assault, defusing negativity with superior negotiation (rather than swinging back with more).
- Rise above negativity…
With the daily practice of positivity in all aspects of your life.
