How much confidence, energy, and enthusiasm does your voice radiate when you speak about your ideas, services or products? Your vocal sound is what people react to first and then they listen to what you’re saying. Experts say that in a telephone conversation, 80% of your persuasiveness comes from your speaking voice and 20% from what you say. Most people don’t realize that the sound of their voice is an important and determining factor as to whether someone buys.

Unleash the magic in your voice. John, a young 30 year old scientist, was holding his voice back on purpose and sounding flat and monotone, because as he said, that is how all the other scientists speak. However, he continued, now that I am advancing in my career and doing a lot of presentations at science conferences I realize that this way of speaking is not helping me reach my goal of being an excellent communicator.

John, you are not alone, I have clients, from both the engineering and the IT fields who speak the same fast talking, monotonous way. However, what sets you apart is that you have a rich baritone voice when you use your breath to support it and when you stop trailing off at the end of your thoughts.

If you want to sell with your voice you need to use it purposefully to engage the listener. A low pitched rich resonant baritone voice makes both men and women feel comfortable and reaches them on a gut level. The accomplished actor, James Earl Jones, who plaid Darth Vader in the movie Star Wars, is a perfect example of this phenomenon.

Do you know it only takes 7 seconds or less for your client, boss, or patient to react to the sound of your voice and to decide whether to listen or believe in what you are saying?

Kick off the Fall Right: Speak with Power and Confidence!

PS. Voice Power Studios Case Study: Manish, a brilliant executive of a leading financial services company, decided to start his own business. One month into it he realized that being an entrepreneur required him to be on 24/7; motivating and inspiring his team and acquiring financial backing, investors and clients. He actually said my voice gets tired and lacks energy and enthusiasm after a couple of hours of talking. In addition he talked fast with a foreign accent.

Never before did he realize how important his speech was. “I wish I had taken your course when I was 21 years old. I feel sure it would have benefited me in my career. I would have moved up the corporate ladder much quicker by sounding this confident, persuasive and self-assured. I also can’t believe how simple it is to achieve. That there is a step by step process supported by a series of exercises that gives permanent results.

Manish knew he sounded monotone and boring, however, now he was taking steps to change it by learning to breathe correctly, and project his voice. He also became an expert at emphasizing the most meaningful words in his sentences by changing pitch and volume. Doing this brought out his natural expressiveness and made him a much more dynamic speaker.

His team felt inspired and motivated by his engaging, honest and warm tone of voice. His investors and clients trusted in his credibility and expertise. Having command of his speech and his communication gave him the confidence to not only concentrate on what he was saying and how he was saying it, but also to be with the “moment to moment” reactions of his audience. In those moments you have the power to persuade and you have the audience in the palm of your hand!”

I call it the “hidden secret.”

Why?

Because no one talks about it….not even the sales and leadership gurus.

Here’s the reality....

It does not matter what product or service you offer or whether it is offline or online or both.

If you want to be a successful executive or business owner that consistently and reliably delivers quality leads and large profits…

If you want to build a team and/or a customer base that will stay loyal to you…

If you want to convert your leads to customers, clients or patients…

If you want to communicate effectively with any size group of prospects…

 

Do you know how you Sound when you talk?

Do you Sound Authentic and like you can be Trusted?

Do you watch how your listener reacts as you are talking?

Most speakers only pay attention to the words they say. Why? Because we are all taught from an early age that The Message is Everything!

In truth, it takes 7 seconds or less for your client to react to your voice and to decide whether to listen or believe in what you are saying.....
