How to tell jokes and communicate?

A group of people get together, and if everyone is unhappy, then the party will lose its meaning. But as long as one person can talk and laugh at this moment, the whole party will be different, and everyone will follow into a lively and harmonious atmosphere. There is no doubt that this is a secret communicator who can use jokes.

Telling jokes is the most difficult communication art. It requires not only optimistic nature, but also certain knowledge and skills. Carnegie's course focuses on training this skill, and many dull students can tell jokes humorously after learning it, which is very different from before.

Napoleon Hill told such a story:

A young salesman promoted a new product among a large group of people. People don't understand this product, so they ignore his behavior. At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted:

"Hey, young man, tell a joke. If it is good, we will buy your product. "

The young man had no choice but to tell a joke.

But after he finished, no one laughed. People just stared at him. At this time, the salesman was anxious and asked loudly, "Why doesn't anyone laugh?"

The crowd burst into laughter. It turns out that people are only happy because he told jokes for a long time, which is not funny at all.

Doctor Curtis's medical skill is very good, but he is always inferior to others in telling jokes, which has always been his distress.

Carnegie told him not to lose heart. Generally, for those who have no training, losers account for 60%, winners only account for 10%, and the remaining 30% can only be considered qualified. The success of 10% is mostly due to their natural ability to tell jokes. Carnegie told him that he could be a successful joke teller as long as he was trained.

When Dr. Curtis successfully received Carnegie's course training, he and Carnegie attended a welcome party to celebrate the victory of the state baseball team.

Before, when he stood up and talked to everyone, he would blush and his heart would beat. But it's different now. He started with a light joke and said something that all the guests present cheered for.

Later, Dr. Curtis published an article in the newspaper detailing his own benefits.

Carnegie believes that telling jokes doesn't have to make people laugh, and the most common and relaxed jokes are the highest jokes.

Jokers don't laugh, that's another way. Of course, you can't keep a straight face with a slight smile on your face. If all the speakers laugh at this moment, the listener's spirit will be relaxed and there will be no strength to continue listening. When telling jokes, you should unify your expressions and gestures. Of course, be sure to tell the joke in line with the content and make the listener laugh.

There is also a secret, that is, while telling jokes, don't play the suspense, especially in key places. Jokes are different from ordinary conversations. They need to make a sharp turn to make the listener burst into laughter in an instant. If so, your joke will be successful.

It should also be noted that when no one laughs in the middle of your speech, then you should join in and make yourself laugh, so as not to embarrass the atmosphere of the meeting.

When others tell jokes, you should also try to join in. You praised his field, and when you say it, he will naturally give you face. In this way, you are a good communicator!
