Body language is the cornerstone of reading people, but what if the face can tell us all we need to know?

 

Whenever we’re face-to-face with people, they are communicating with us without even saying a single word. From their ears to their eyebrows and nostrils, tiny facial expressions reveal a lot and give us clues on how to communicate, sell and build rapport.

 

There’s up to 250 different facial features we can look at, and each of them can help us understand the people around us better and what they need.

 

What can eyebrow shape and even height tell us about people? How do we tweak our sales approach based on people’s micro facial expressions?

 

In this episode, coach and founder of Subtle Skills, Brian Galke shares the power of reading facial features and expressions, and how it will make us better salespeople.

Attempting to understand someone else isn’t manipulation, it’s going to create rapport with people instead of pushing our own agenda. -Brian Galke
