How To Get People To Open Up

Have you ever met someone who is just simply closed to all ideas and suggestions?

One who is skeptical?

And one who cast a wary eye on just about anyone and everyone, maybe even his grandmother?

Actually, if you notice more closely…

You will notice one thing…

Most of these people usually exhibit this body language..

They Have Their Arms Folded!

Aha!

Arms folded. And their mind are also folded too.

If you unlock their arms, you unlock their mind.

Now…just how to unfold their arms?

Let me narrate to you a story…

I was having a meeting the other day at a company together with my colleagues and their management. We were presenting a collaboration plan.

A senior guy from the company just came in halfway to listen in for a while.

He had his arms folded - a sure tell-tale sign of skepticism and maybe to display his authority.

Up Close and Personal With Joel Christopher

Last Thursday, I had the honor and privilege of meeting Joel Christopher in person.

Here was this guy - a well established online marketer who is up there with the very best - standing right next to me.

My impression of him? Very warm. Very unassuming. Very down-to-earth.

He is a guru alright. He built his name on being a list-building expert. But he is not like other typical gurus. He really comes across as very real and genuine that takes interest in the person he is talking to.

Did I mention that his assistant, Mimi, is such a lovely lady too?

I met up with Samuel, Alvin and Martin, some marketers I’ve got to know recently in a mastermind group.

Had a good chat together with Joel together with the rest of the gang.

Also had a chance to talk to Ian Del Carmen, an online marketer who is also a Warrior from the Philippines. Really friendly dude.
