Non-verbal communication with the client.

 

Non-verbal communication is the aspect of communication that is not expressed in words. It’s about communicating with gestures, expressions, eye contact among others.

According to the research of the anthropologist Albert Mehrabian, the communicative process is shaped as follows: 7% verbal communication, 38% paraberbal communication and 55% body communication, this means that most of a message is transmitted by gestures, tone of voice, posture or touch.

 

For example, imagine that you’re presenting your product to a customer, and you identify a gesture of dislike. If you interpret this non-verbal response in time, you may be able to modify the way you’re communicating your message and thus achieve a successful result.
