What is meant by 'Business is communication and communication is business'?

The slogan or motto, Business is communication and communication is business, means that in order to successfully run a business you must communicate, and communicate using a business language that customers understand and respond to positively. It also implies that the "business (act) of communication" is an ongoing process, fluid, and designed to elicit more communication from (potential or actual) customers so that you can communicate with the customers more.For example, in Sales, you want to highlight the benefits a customer will get by buying a product or service. But you only highlight a few of the benefits, knowing that customers will ask about other benefits and features prior to a sale-- or you can bring up additional benefits during the decision-making process.For example, in Supply Fulfillment, you'll need to use precise language that your Seller/Supplier and you mutually understand. If you think of a "flat" as meaning a "case", you could end up with a much higher quantity of products than you wanted to order.For example, in Billing, you wouldn't use a too-familiar or everyday tone, or a passive tone in requesting a customer pays the bill on time. Wrong language: "You really need to pay your bill cos, you know, I got kids and a wife and 6 mouths to feed, ya know, so I need you to pay your bill on time."So the more you communicate in business, the more you'll attract customers who in turn give you more opportunities to communicate. The more you communicate well in business, the better your business will be, the more you'll be successful, etc.


What do you say to motion at a meeting?

First you need to have standing (permission) to rise and speak, let alone make a motion at a meeting. For example, at a public meeting of a planning commission, only the commissioners can make a motion, although the chairperson of the meeting may (at his or her discretion) recognize a member of the public provide input on an issue prior to taking a vote. A recognized member (or alternate voting delegate) may make a motion, at the proper time, by simply saying, "I would like to make the following motion", and then continuing with his or her idea. Many times it is less formal, such as "I move that we accept the minutes as read", or "I make a motion that we suspend the rules and waive the reading of the treasurer's report." The chairperson may immediately rule you "out of order" for a number of reasons, and ask you to sit down and be quiet. At the proper time, you may again attempt to make a motion. After that, there is typically a "second" to the motion, or (if no second) a very uncomfortable pause while the motion fails to even elicit support of one other member (it is very embarrassing when this happens, and sometimes results in immediate resignation by the member whose motion was not seconded). Once the motion has been seconded, the chairperson can ask for any discussion, which may include a motion to amend the primary motion, or a motion to withdraw (or suspend action upon) the primary motion, among other things. Eventually, any motion not tabled or withdrawn must be voted upon, or the meeting suspended (adjourned) until further information can be obtained by those who wish to continue discussing it before voting...


What is the Value of delivery to the speaker?

The Value of Delivery to a SpeakerDelivery is a valuable tool in shaping the thinking of the audience, but there is one important fact about delivery that potential speakers must understand: at the moment of delivering his ideas, a speaker is not aware of all that he expresses because he cannot see and hear himself objectively as others see and hear him.During the moment of speech delivery:· The speaker cannot see his face nor can he observe his body and look at the audience at the same time. Even if he is able to do so, his attention would be divided and audience contact will be decreased.· He cannot hear his voice as others hear it because he hears his voice through his external ear as the sound is transmitted to his inner ear.When we speak, we are actually hearing the vibrations in the air and the vibrations within our own head at the same time. Thus the actual 'sound' we think we hear is a little deeper than what is transmitted into the air. Other people are probably the most accurate judge of our voices, because they are far away from the source (less inherent vibrations) and they don't record it and play it back (less distortion).The vibrations in the bones and sinuses in your own head make your voice sound different to you. The recording, unless it is done badly, is an accurate representation of how others hear you.· He may express subtle shades of thought and emotion, of which he may not be entirely aware, which the audience may receive below their conscious level.· Though he may concentrate on his immediate intention, he cannot survey in an instant all the means of accomplishment.· He must remember that while his audience is subconsciously reacting to his statements, it is also subconsciously reacting to minute changes in his voice and manner, which influence it in reaching decision and in evaluating the entire speaking procedure.Therefore, the speaker must bear in mind that delivery is more important than the words themselves because:1. Delivery provides more dependable cues to the speaker's sincerity than do words. The manner in which a speaker answers questions or make statements may support or belie the word meanings.2. Delivery is also the means by which a speaker reveals his belief in, and attitude toward his subject.Ø If the speaker's belief in his subject is overcast with doubt, it will be reflected in his voice and physical expression.Ø If he is certain of his facts and conclusion and he believes that his subject is worthwhile, he will show quiet assurance and animation.3. Delivery shows the speaker's attitude toward his audience. Through delivery, the audience form their opinion of the speaker as a person.Ø His smile is genuine and the tone of his voice which connotes straightforwardness and geniality will signify his relationship with his audience.4. Through delivery, the speaker reveals the speed of his thinking.Ex. His pace of creating ideas and evolving conclusions, demonstrates fine points of discrimination between one idea and another, and expresses the mental and emotional force of his speech.Ø As his whole body responds to such force, the speaker may elicit audience's action by the manipulation of his pitch and inflectional pattern of delivery wherein he shows the force of his thought and the significance of his ideas through emphasis of important words in a variety of ways by stressing them and raising their pitch while unimportant ideas may be subordinated through a decrease of the volume and the lowering of the pitch. At the same time, his body reacts to the force of his ideas.that's the whole of my report but i do not own any copyright on this. hope you can give me the main idea on this. thanks
