body language has a number of great advantages. Not only will it help you connect with people, but it might also double your business!

Especially if you’re any kind of entrepreneur, it’s important to know body language. Correctly recognizing and adapting to someone’s body language can make or break your business. Suppose you’re in a meeting with a prospective client and you just keep going and going with your pitch.

In the meanwhile, you fail to notice that your prospect crosses his arms, interlocks his ankles and turns his torso away from you. In the end you walk away without a deal whereas you thought you did a great job.

 

Learning to recognize such body language can really help you during sales conversations. Addressing the body language I just described (crossed arms, interlocking ankles and turned away torso) may just save the conversation and save your deal. In the long run, this can make you a lot of money!
