9 importance of effective communication

Communication will not make sense unless it is effective. Here is importance of communicating effectively

You avoid confusion

Imagine you want to change the look of your bedroom to have colors and material on your bed that matches the rest of the room. You wish to order a white cotton doona cover and instead you receive a black one. The most natural reaction will be disappointment towards the supplier. There are some people who are too emotional and such a mistake may cause a war. What if you checked the email or text you send and realize you actually ordered the color you have received? You could have avoided this confusion if you checked your message before sending.

Triggers the right responds

Every time someone communicates something to another person, they expect that the other person will respond accordingly. You expect that the message you have delivered will produce the right results. If you have asked a question, you expect the correct answer. If for example you ordered a super king grey quilted duvet cover, would you expect anything less?

If you have used the correct message with the right specification, and have used the correct language via a medium accessible to the target, you will get exactly what you order for. The opposite is also true. A correct and satisfactory responds will make you consider that client if you need another item of that nature.

You achieve your goal

Life is lived well based on the goals we set. One of the characteristics of good goals is that they are realistic and achievable. In communication, you set goals too. Whether you realize it or not, the time you pass a message to someone, you will expect something from the information you provide. They don’t always have to be something tangible. You can simply say that you want to meet a certain condition at the end of a conversation. If you use the right tools and follow the correct procedure, you are more likely to realize your expectation.

It can create good relations

Social media is the biggest platform on the internet that has brought a lot change in the way people relate to each other. It is a tool for communication that can get people from different regions and beliefs together. Through social media, a person can find a friend in USA while they are in India and make it an everlasting friendship. There are many people who have created relationships to the point of marriage after meeting on social media. Using the correct language and internet as the most effective medium, relations are created because they had a communication that was effective.

There are many people in the world who are not in good terms. The reason for their difference may not be know but the main one is always related to communication. Communication can be achieved in many ways apart from language. Someone’s reaction to something or the attitude they have can be communicated through body language. Many times, such messages can be interpreted wrongly and break relations. However, a simple sorry followed by sincere emotions and actions can make someone to forget whatever may have happened heal. Effective communication is like medicine that can heal a person soul. It is easy to mend a relation if you show that you mean what you say.

It creates understanding between people

It is very easy to miss understand someone from what they say and how they say it. There are people who don’t know how to express themselves. People are different in so many ways and no two people are the same even identical twins. Communication is the thin line between people connecting and disconnecting. Sometimes keeping quiet can still be considered passing a message. If you understand your audience well, you will communicate to them in a way that will be understood. If what you are saying is not understood, say because you are using a strange language, you will completely lose your audience.

It is easy to communicate

If you want to know that you are making sense to your audience, consider how easy you are interacting with them. You may be on stage talking to a group of people then you realize that half are asleep and half are doing their on things. When that happens, the problem may not always be with your audience but the method of delivery. Maybe you are not talking loud enough, or you are using a language that they cannot comprehend. Think of a possibility of changing you method of delivery. If you achieve effectiveness, you will realize the level of concentration and interaction increase.

Effective communication can save you embarrassment because you will feel easy doing it. It you start feeling tense and unsure of your content, you have lost it already and it will just keep getting worse. The trick is to prepare well.

It shows professionalism

 A person can be judged by the way he treats other people in terms of communication. If you walk into an office and find a person at the front desk who cannot give you clear information on what you want, communication is the issue. To be considered a professional, one must be able to communicate clearly on their area of expertise. People who are involved in sales and marketing particularly must possess good communication skills. You convince your clients to purchase a product by the way you present the idea to them. They will judge whether or not you understand your topic.

If you can communicate effectively, it is easy to convince your clients.

It creates respect and trust

Respect and trust don’t come by easily. They have to be earned. Politicians have mastered the art of communicating effectively. That is why they convince people easy. They know what to say and how to say it. If you want people to respect you, learn how to talk to them. You can gain a lot of respect and be trusted because you will be considered wise.
