Communicate with Empathy - Putting yourself in the shoes of others This week on the Catalyst Sale podcast we chat about communication, specifically communicating with empathy.  It takes us a little time to get to the practical application, but we end the discussion on a strong note with some guidance on how you can communicate with empathy. We also add a point of clarification on the front end of the podcast.  If you are looking for us online, you can find us at https://catalystsale.com Questions Addressed What does empathy mean? What is the difference between empathy and sympathy? What does it mean to communicate with empathy? What do you think of when you reflect on Lee Cockerell’s quote – “Candor is Truth with Empathy” How does Empathy impact Sales? Key Takeaways Empathy - Putting yourself in someone else’s shoes. Empathy - Evaluating a situation through their eyes. Being empathetic is doing what you can to put yourself in the shoes of others. Focus on how others may receive the message based on their experiences, where they are at a given point in time. You don’t know what is going on in the mind of someone when you are communicating with them at a given point in time. Ask questions to clarify where they are, what their mindset is. Jody’s Granny – “When you communicate, you are responsible for what someone hears” The same comment, in different places, at different times, can be received differently. Lee Cockerell quote – “Candor is Truth with Empathy” If you want to communicate, and ensure that your message is heard in the way you intended it, you should be truthful, transparent, and communicate with an understanding that considers the perspective the person on the other end. Put the person you are communicating with first. In the context of sales, whatever challenge you are helping the customer overcome, you need to realize it is their challenge.
