During his interview with Mathias Döpfner, #Microsoft's CEO #SatyaNadella said, "Empathy is not a soft skill. In fact, it's the hardest skill we learn—to relate to the world, to relate to people that matter the most to us." The essential disparity between empathy and sympathy is rooted in building active understanding of other’s emotions and perspectives rather than maintaining a passive stance. My last week's keynote session at ETH FinsureTech Hub delved into the concept of empathy, underscoring its capacity to enable us to grasp not only others' emotions but also their unique perspectives. Practicing empathy into business can reveal invaluable insights into your clients' businesses, their products, markets, and even regulatory landscapes. Empathy and trust-building, anchored by essential pillars of truth, accountability, capability, and fundamental cares, serve as crucial instruments in both business success and leadership development. #EmpathyInBusiness #LeadershipSkills

This builds trust, lowers buyer hesitation, and reduces perceived risk. 3) Utilize Video: Use videos to shorten your sales cycle, scale your team, and qualify prospects. Save your salespeople time by sending pre-recorded demos and introductory videos to prospects. Learn more about these and other best practices by joining the Microsoft FY24 High Volume Program.
