Efficient People Keep Their Conversations Short

Good evening, everyone.
Thank you very much for visiting from among so many options.
This time, I will talk about "Efficient people keep their conversations short."

(This article explains why I write about self-improvement. Please take a look if you'd like.)
I hope you enjoy it.


The concept is [Self-improvement that can be enjoyed and understood even by those who don't read books].
I will post using my own expressions, based on the knowledge I gain from reading 365 books a year.


Also, my articles are recommended for people like this:

*️⃣ People who think self-improvement sounds difficult but are interested in it
*️⃣ People who want to solve the problems they are currently facing
*️⃣ People who do not read books
*️⃣ People who want necessary information but, when browsing books in a store, wonder, "Where should I look among these 200 pages?"—I will explain it clearly and pinpoint the information.

After reading, I hope you feel:
✳️ That self-improvement is interesting
✳️ That you might be able to solve your problems
✳️ That you gained knowledge that leads to growth
✳️ That the necessary information was easier to understand than browsing a book

I would be happy if you felt the above.


After talking a lot, have you ever been asked,
"What exactly are you trying to say?"

By the way, I have been asked that.
My desire to convey things overflows, and I end up talking too much...
For example,

*️⃣ Talking too much because you want to make a presentation successful
*️⃣ Getting too enthusiastic in your guidance to educate the other person
*️⃣ Talking one-sidedly during sales

This is something that could happen to anyone.
This time, I will talk about ways to make it easier to convey your message to others so that these kinds of problems can be solved.


In conclusion,

[You should keep your talk short. You should narrow down your words to avoid including unnecessary ones.]


People get confused when there is
unnecessary information.

For the person speaking,

"putting into words" and "conveying"

are mostly the only two tasks.

However, for the person listening,

"listening," "understanding," "thinking about the conclusion," "asking questions," "nodding"


and so on,requires more than twice the work compared to the person speaking.

In other words,
🈁<<First, you must understand that "the listener has to do this much work." >>

If you have this reason, the speaker's awareness will also change.
And what you can do is"keep the talk short and minimal".

People get confused when there is unnecessary information.
It makes them think, "What does this information mean?" and since the talk continues during that time, they get even more confused.
You must not make the person you are talking to think.

For example, which talk is easier to understand?

🧑‍💼 This product A is a vacuum cleaner capable of XX% suction power. It took 8 years to develop and is a culmination of technology. Also, when compared to product B, the head part has unique features that are not found elsewhere. In short...

👨🏻‍💼 The vacuum cleaner that is perfect for you is this A model. The reason is that its feature is XX% suction power.

What do you think?
It became unclear what 🧑‍💼 was trying to say.
Was it about the suction power, the development period, or the head...
The listener also ends up thinking, "What are they trying to say?"

On the other hand, 👨🏻‍💼 only talks about the information the customer needs.
With this, what they want to convey is clear.

Therefore, 👨🏻‍💼's way of communicating is ideal.


Efficient people keep their conversations short

Efficient people keep their conversations short.
That is because
HERE《they are most afraid that what they have conveyed will not be understood》

That is precisely why they aim to convey things reliably with short conversations.
And, to delve deeper into the content, theymake frequent use of "questions."

Questions are a "dialogue."
If you both repeat short conversations, the level of understanding will change.

In other words,
HERE《if you judge that you cannot convey everything at once, you can also devise ways to deepen understanding through questions》

This can be applied to a wide variety of things.
"Sales," "coaching," "communication," and so on.

What is important is to prioritize "How can I best convey this to the other person?"

Keep the conversation short
↓↓↓
Ask questions if necessary
↓↓↓
Keep the conversation short again when responding

Let's try to be conscious of this.
The way you are understood will change significantly, so please try utilizing it.

I sincerely hope that my article will lead to your future growth.


To summarize

1️⃣ If you are asked "What are you trying to say?", it is possible that the cause is that your conversation is too long.
2️⃣ Do not make the person listening to you think. Do not include unnecessary information.
3️⃣ Efficient people keep their conversations short. That is because conveying things reliably to the other person is the most important thing.


HERE《Being able to have short conversations is highly rated. It is evaluated as "you only talk about necessary information." That is a valuable skill.》

That is all.
I will post again on 9/6.
