the dangers of spilling your candy on the phone

If you give out too much information you might stop a prospect from going to the next step, it is good to answer questions ,but be careful in turning off someone because they believe they have nothing more to learn about the opportunity.

Effective listening

Based on my understanding, To be a effective listener means: 1. Listen to students what they are thinking. 2. Understand what they want to tell us. 3. Think about what we can answer and what we should suggest them and help them for better career development. 4. Be patient and be a good listener if they don't agree our suggestion, think about why they don't agree and accept it, then try best to give better solution.

Understand Cultures is Important for Body Language

I definitely agree with Culture . I think finding it is not very difficult. It can be figur out by the way they talk and the their appearance.

Listening to student talking on and on..

Listening is an art. Usually student come to me and talking about everything like their personal life, difficulty with adjusting themselves with new society, culture, and so other new immigrant problems. I try my best to find way to direct them To main subject without hurting them. But i listen to them.
