e in the initial seminar that you hold, the foundation for any further training will be set. Even if you are holding more advanced seminars, going back to the basics is always a good option in between.

Since people, in most cases, only remember a small portion of what is being taught, they will add a new skill or a new approach every time they attend a basic sales or communication seminar. You can not “not” communicate, while saying nothing you are still communicating with your body. Depending on what profession you are in, your body language may be more important than the words you use. In fact body language is so important that in can create instant trust with clients. In other professions your tone of voice may matter more than you body language. What your business is will depend greatly on what you need to focus your training around. Ideally you should contact a company to see if they can customize their training for your profession specifically if needed. If you are a sole proprietor or a small company you may even consider options such as getting an executive coach to work directly with your employees. The options are endless, the only thing you have to decide, do I want to increase my productivity and profitability by improving the communication at my company, or do I want to keep the status quo?

When looking at companies and their productivity, along side their profitability, there is an interesting patterns that evolves. Some of the most predominant fortune 500 companies spend large amounts of money on training employees, the foundation of that training, communication. Why is it that these companies spend so much money on training, and specifically teambuilding and communications training? What little secret might these companies know that the rest of us still haven’t been exposed to? What are some of the major problems that take place not only within the workplace, but with clients as well? What is the root of these problems and where are some of the places you can make interventions within your own company or within yourself to solve these problems? Here are 5 common problems that we have been able to point out to the vast majority of companies that we studied. Some of them are quite obvious while in other cases it is the underlying reason why communication or lack there of, causes companies not only to loose productivity but also profitability.

Misunderstanding

This can be both within companies and to clients. Many companies have to fight the battle of someone saying one thing, yet it being interpreted as something completely different. This is the most common form of problem that arises and is the root of many other problems that arise within companies. This can be very negative not only for the moral within the company, but can also start to reflect upon clients giving the company a bad reputation. Some prime examples of this can be directly related to by those who have had to use customer support in other countries and have had a hard time both explaining to the customer service representative is, and getting direct and understandable answers in order to get a resolution.

Assumptions

Since communication is a two way street, the ability to listen can often be as important as the ability to communicate effectively. When someone is talking and we assume that we understand fully what the other person is relaying, without getting verification, there is room for misinterpretation of the information being given to us. This can, like many companies experience, lead to projects being done in an ineffective manner requiring many meeting to make sure that everyone is on target. By having both an effective communicator and a good listener the time of various projects can be reduced significantly.

Lack of trust

This problem is larger than many companies realize, this can be everything from people not trusting themselves, not trusting a co-worker or a client not trusting the company. Communication or lack there of can often be the cause of this, a problem that could very easily be improved by a simple communications seminar that help people communicate with both themselves and with others. Self trust can often be found when techniques of NLP are used as a foundation for the training. Other training will greatly improve the quality of the communication between co-workers and clients, increasing trust which in turn normally leads to less misunderstanding and fewer assumptions during conversations.

Positive- Negative statements in “talks”

This is a very common misconception, that when you talk to an employee or a colleague that you should state a positive before stating a negative. This kind of statements in reality change the focus of the person you are talking to and leave them thinking about the negative. Most people do not work very efficiently when they have negative thoughts. In fact most people that have a negative thought process will do their work half hearted and in a negative manner.

Lack of leadership

Even though there are appointment leaders within companies, they are often not the ones in control and taking the lead. To often leaders of companies can’t clearly define a line between friendships at work and employees. This is not only a problem large organizations have, this is a problem that is just as apparent within smaller companies. In fact many small business owners become so close with their employees that the line between boss and employee almost disappears. Leadership is often defined by the actions they take along with what they say. Remember that there are more types of communication than just what is said with words. In fact a minority of communication is done through words. There are many types of seminars available that teach communication, basic personality profiling, the NLP communications model, team building and other various topics that are all helpful in the area of communication. The key elements to look for when finding an appropriate trainer will depend on what you want to focus on. Since many of the seminars will not focus on all aspects at the same time, since it would be a lot of information during one seminar and most people will not comprehend all it in one turn, they will split it down into several seminars. If you are considering getting someone to train your employees we recommend that you call a company that offers that service, tell them what the purpose of the training should be to see if they can match you up with a program suitable for your needs. If you are holding a seminar for the first time, make sure that the seminar teaches the three languages people speak, the laws of persuasion, rapport, pacing, leading and how people communicate with their body and tone as well as the words they choose to use. If you make sure that those basics are in the initial seminar that you hold, the foundation for any further training will be set. Even if you are holding more advanced seminars, going back to the basics is always a good option in between.
