Listen, chapter 3 of my new book is turning out to be a very popular subject. I've done two conference roundtables, a university major gift officer training session, and soon a national webinar for AFP. Here are some tips.
- 55% of communication is nonverbal. That's why face to face meetings with major gift donors is so important.
- A person talks at a rate of 150 words per minute but can listen at a rate of 500 words per minute. That's why it's so easy to get distracted when you're listening. Take notes, prepare to restate to clarify what you've heard, focus on body language and visual cues. Listen.
