Editor's Notes
- I have found throughout the years that evaluating thoughts and ideas makes it easier to separate the important things from the fluff. During this class I would like you to put the things you learn into these categories.
- If you come out of the class with all the blue chips, your time will have been well spent. It takes some experience in picking what material is the most valuable.
- The Red Chip ideas are the ones that require action on our part. The Blue Chip reminds us of what actions are necessary to accomplish the main thought.
- White Chip ideas provide us with the supporting information and instructions needed to accomplish the action ideas.
- Whether you are preparing a presentation or getting ready for an interview this analogy will help you prepare the Introduction, the body, and the conclusion of your effort.
- Here is a simple example of how to use the analogy in a practical way. In all communications PEOPLE are involved. So our main idea or point in communication is PEOPLE our Blue Chip.
- In any dealing with PEOPLE there are two basic steps that have to be taken. These two steps are Red Chips and they tell us what actions we need to take in dealing with people.
- Once we have determined the actions required we need to know how to carry them out. The White Chips give us the details we need to get the job done.
- Now that we have the necessary information we can begin to communicate effectively with other people. Now let’s begin to apply all this to the actual practice of Customer Relations. We begin by discussing some important keys.
