Definitivamente escuchar y oír al mismo tiempo, parece lo mismo pero no lo es, porque a veces escuchamos pero no oímos, lo que en ocasiones genera la incorrecta interpretación de la información recibida, lo que genera la mala transmisión de dicha información y el manejo de la misma. De allí la importancia de la escucha activa, que implica mirar a la cara del interlocutor cuando nos habla, parafrasearlo e intercambiar visiones, opiniones o expectativas sobre el tema de conversación en cuestión, con la finalidad de aclarar dudas, ampliar la información recibida y tener la certeza de que se entendio lo que se dijo.

Effective verbal communication is crucial in building and maintaining strong relationships with clients in private equity. Here are some strategies to use verbal communication effectively: 1.

Es escuchar con todo el cuerpo, asentir, parafrasear, tratar de entender también el lenguaje no verbal y las intenciones. No como normalmente lo hacemos, pensando que vamos a contestar, o interrumpiendo.

In private equity, clear communication is essential. I always articulate investment strategies, risks, and opportunities with precision and simplicity. For example, when discussing complex concepts, I avoid jargon and explain them in an accessible way. This approach educates clients and empowers them to make informed decisions. By fostering understanding, I build their confidence in our relationship and ensure they are well-informed about their investments. This clarity in communication has proven invaluable in maintaining trust and transparency with clients.

Where there are technical words or jargon used, the other party should not shy away from asking for more clarification to be able to understand what is put through to enable adding value.

Communicating complex investment jargon with simple words helps the investor understand better. Elaborating hidden charges and rates gives the investor confidence to invest. Also using practical calculations as per the ideas given by the client add more clarity. E.g if the investor gives an amount they wish to invest in equity calculate the returns with different periods of time, share the risk involved and involve them if the final decision.

These are kind of personal sessions of project presentations and investor's interests and scale assessments and bringing them on common ground while building confidence of private equity investor. So, eye contact in communication is extremely important. Seeking clarity on the key requirements helps. Communicate the offers, solutions without wavering. Prepare well before the meetings. Important for new comers: Practice well before going to seasoned investors.
