Author: Claus & Ingrid Dreyer
The one thing that everyone has a hard time doing is eye contact. There are going to be times where you will feel very intimidated by the other people because there are people who just have something about them that make them seem better or hard to approach. You will want to work on eye contact no matter how hard it is. There are ways that you can make improvements on your eye contact methods.
First, you do not want to seem like you are staring. You will want to make eye contact, but you don't have to have eye contact the whole time. You will need to learn when to break and when it is appropriate to look at them. When someone is asking you a question you will want to give him or her direct eye contact. The same goes for it when explaining the answer. Your breaks will be during stories or long off sketch conversation, however, you could look away now and then when you are and it will not be considered rude.
Another way that you can improve your eye contact methods is to learn about your body language. There are people who are unaware of other things that distract them like their hand movements and such. You may have a twitch that will make things harder for you to have eye contact, however, you should be aware that the person is looking at you out of respect, not because of your previous medical conditions.
If you are very self-conscious about something that has to do with your demeanor or with your body, then you will need to work on that before you try to improve your eye contact. The whole reason why people feel that they would not rather make eye contact is because they feel inferior.
When you work on your self-image you will then be able to work on the eye contact. You will find that there are plenty of ways and tools that will help you with eye contact, but most of the time you will find it difficult from the way that you approach the eye contact. You will want to allow yourself to get comfortable. Once you get comfortable you will be able to act as natural as you should be when it comes to eye contact and other things.
You can go online and find many ways to help you and aid in the eye contact problem and it is very important that you work on it. When you aren't looking into someone's eyes they will assume that you are lying and will not trust. Not only will they not trust you, but also they will not buy anything from you. It is very important that you check out the eye contact that you give to someone because you want your eyes to tell the customers that it's okay to make the purchase. Your eyes have to be as harm and welcoming as your voice. It all will tie together eventually. You will need the eye contact to help you to get the deal in motion and finalize the deal. At any moment that you feel is important for the deal, then you should feel it is just as important to make eye contact.
Eye contact is very important when it comes to the business world and learning how to sell. You will find that there are many things that you can do to increase sells, but by increasing your eye contact, the sells will go up all by themselves.
