With body language knowledge and practice you can perform this mind-reading miracle.
Lip Pursing displays is extremely common and very valuable sources of information. Think of it as a business tool, for it is one of the most reliable signs of “consideration of alternatives” or “outright disagreement” before it is voiced aloud.
- Wrinkles on bridge of the Nose
- Wrinkles on side of the Nose
- Lower Lip is raised
- Lower Lip is protruding slightly
- Upper Lip is raised (sometimes very high)
- The upper Lip and area between the upper lip and nose is tightened
- Wrinkling of the Cheeks forming a Crescent shape (concave down) across the face
- Flaring of the nostrils
- Lowering of eye brows (but they are not draw together as in anger)
- Crows feet on the lateral (ear side) of the eyes
- Chin wrinkling
For it is the recognition of these nuances where you will detect emotions that will show you the “No” before it is said – so that you can redirect the course of the conversation, the offer and the outcome.
