Would you rather be a good speaker or a good listener, and why?

A good listener.

The more you listen the more you expand your perspective.

Both. To be a good speaker, one must have the ability to be a good listener. As a listener, you are required to give your utmost attention, whether you are busy doing something or staring at something or someone, your ears should be aware of what is/are being said to you or around you . As a speaker, the words you convey will and should be of an impact one cannot forget. The right words and the way you deliver the message will always matter. Give the listeners no choice but to pay attention without telling them to do so. A good speaker and listener come hand in hand, one the audience will never forget.

I would rather be both because being a good speaker help me by telling opinion, perspective in life, knowledge which I can share and so that others may understand me why I'm like this or like that. In the contrary, I also wanna meet people, make friends, and meet clients needs, learn new things, in order to that I must be a good listener. Thanks you.

You should be both when ever  customer speaks you have to be good listener and when customer finishes you have to speak up

First and foremost,  a good listener, as it is very crucial to understand and have an idea of the situation or what exactly the other person is conveying which can be a knowledge based or anything in particular.  Secondly and also more importantly, a good speaker as well.  Speak when you need to and do not hesitate if you know that you are doing the right thing in advising/sharing.

I would rather be a good listener. Because when you speak, you are only conveying what you know, but when you listen, you learn new things which includes good speaking skills.

I will choose to be a good listener rather than a good speaker. In Sales & Marketing, It is very important to listen to the client to understand what he/she really needs. With this you will have an idea on which products are you going to offer to the client.

I would rather be a good listener because being a good speaker can be learned and be perfected but being a good listener needs to have the willingness to listen and absorb those thoughts or ideas that are being said. One may learn to listen but it takes a more deep listening to understand what was said.

As a good speaker, I will be able to share only the information that I know. However, as a good listener I get the opportunity to get information that I don't know.

To conclude, a good listener.

You should be both , it's only depend on the situation you are in .

I would rather be a good listener.

I believe that, to become a good speaker, you need to be good listener.
