A few years ago, I bought a wonderful little book: Listening for Success, by Steve Shapiro. After reading it, I realized–you can't become a great writer without being a great listener. The book is only 48 pages, but one of the most powerful books you'll ever read.


This is my opinion of the book.



What is SUCCESS?



Everyone defines it differently, don't they?



Most people THINK that hard work will make you a success.



Well, I know many people that work hard and have never achieved it. The truth is, I can get a donkey to work hard, but I can't get him to do one thing that success demands…LISTEN.



Here Lies the Secret in a NUTSHELL.



It's embedded within the word itself



S-U-C-C-E-S-S.



• Simple



• Understanding



• Caring



• Concern



• Empathy



• Sincerity



• Sympathy





When you engage in a conversation make it simple and short, let the other person talk.



"Everybody wants to talk, and nobody wants to listen. It's human nature to want to talk, talk and talk… chopping people's words at the root before they speak. Even worse, often never hearing a word that was said– you were too busy thinking of what you were going to say next." ~Stephen Shapiro





Now tell me, how rude is that?



The treasure is in the conversation if you listen to learn.



Listen!



You can hear the birds sing, crickets chirp and dogs bark, but have you ever listened to what they're saying?



If you listen carefully, you know when they're hungry, sick, happy, sad or in danger.



You can do the same with people.



"If you love to listen, you will gain knowledge and if you incline your ear–you will become wise." ~Sirach



Listening is a form of communication and persuasion. It's a powerful tool in building relationships when you genuinely care.



Think about it…when was the last time you listened to your spouse, kids, prospects, friends, parents or employees?



I'm not talking about just hearing them in an artificial way. I'm talking about being present with them in the MOMENT and passionately listening to every word.



The lack of listening is the main cause of broken marriages and the country's high divorce rate. Somebody else listened to your spouse and you didn't.



Now take a moment and watch this Video, "It's Not About the Nail." This is so crucial I'm going to wait right here until you finish. (PC users hold down the Control button and click link.)

Listening is the biggest problem people have when trying to sell on the internet because without it, they don't know their audience.



If you want to increase your sales, you must listen to what motivates your prospects to action.



You have to show people that you genuinely care through your writings and interaction.



People buy from people they like and have confidence in.



What about your doctor, does he listen to his patients?



There's a reason he has "Practicing" before the title, 'physician'. He doesn't know what's wrong, unless he listens to what you have to say. But not all doctors listen, do they?



Many deaths occur every year from misdiagnosis because someone didn't listen.



I know many of you right now are saying this is stupid. I don't have to listen to this crap.



Do you see what I mean?



You're not even listening to what I'm saying, are you?



God gave you two ears so you could listen twice as much.



He also gave you two arms, two legs, two eyes, two feet, two hands, so there must be a reason why he only gave you one mouth.



We live in a sin sick world:




  • A troubled teen walks into an elementary school, shoots everyone in sight because his parents wouldn't listen when he was growing up.

  • Wars are started because the leaders are not willing to listen. Where are the weapons of mass destruction?



Were they ever found?



Thousands of lives were lost because the leaders from both countries didn't listen.



What Room Would You Choose?


.


"If you had a choice of walking into a room where everyone was a genius except you and all you could do was listen or a room where you were the smartest– which room would you choose?"


.


In which room do you think you would learn the most?



Of course, you would learn more in the room with the smart people–because you would be more inclined to listen.



However, in room #2 you could also learn but because you were the smartest, you would be too busy telling everyone what you know.



Bottom line?



You are going to be a great writer one day... when you LISTEN MORE.



Thank you for listening.


One other thing



Limited Time Offer: I'm offering my Masterclass 30-day FREE Trial to introduce the RTL follow strategy. This strategy is specifically designed for serious-minded individuals who want to build a successful Twitter platform of 100,000 Twitter Followers. In just a few targeted follow sessions every day, you will become an expert and gain followers like never before.


The strategy revolves around strategically following accounts of retweeters, but rest assured, these are not your ordinary retweeters. Through rigorous testing and proprietary techniques, we have meticulously selected them from high-performing categories with the highest follow-back percentages.


Here's how it works: During the 30-day Free Trial, I will send primetime tweets for you to vet and follow the people who have retweeted them. Yes, you heard it right - vet and follow those who have retweeted the tweets. To begin, click on 'retweets,' which will display a list of everyone who has retweeted the tweet within the last 24 hours. These retweeters are the accounts you should follow if they meet my rigorous criteria.


Moreover, the tweets are focused on highly selective categories in the US and UK, as these categories have consistently shown the highest success rates for follow-backs, ranging from 50% to 85% of the time. By targeting these categories, you can maximize your chances of gaining new followers. Additionally, leveraging different time zones will allow you to optimize engagement, as retweeters are more likely to follow back, particularly when they have been recently active online.


The key to the success of this strategy is to access the tweets while they are still fresh, and the retweeters are actively using Twitter. By being prompt in vetting and following them, you can position yourself at the top of their follow-backs and greatly increase your chances of gaining new followers.


Don't miss out on this revolutionary approach! Sign up for the Masterclass 30-day FREE Trial and take the first step towards Twitter success! Send me an email stating, "Sign me up for the free Masterclass 30-day Free Trial" to bob@mistersalesman.com or Click here https://www.mlemont.com/contact



BUT THAT’S NOT ALL YOU’LL GET!


You must also vet each account before following them to avoid bots and increase your follow-back percentage. Using 'My Secret' vetting criteria is crucial to making the RTL strategy work. The criteria are simple: each account must meet three protocols which I will give during the training session.
