23 speaking skills for company-wide messaging.
Shaky voices, nerves, talking in circles, accented voices, rushing your message, sounding stiff, sounding unnatural,… Is this how you want your business represented?
Of course not.
From reception (when new customers decide if they’ll stick around) to sales (when they decide if they’ll fork over $), what—and especially how—your team speaks dictates success.
Yet 98% of people who speak on behalf of your company (reception, sales floor, greeters, events, customer service,…) are not trained on how to best greet, persuade, negotiate, train, pitch, promote, and … yes, sell.
Speaking strategies. This critical skill is left behind. Weird.
Well this is where I come in: I teach your team how to come across significantly more impactful with customer service, sales, upset buyers, networking floors, and reception.
Here’s what I fix: Shaky voices, nerves, talking in circles, accented voices, rushing your message, sounding stiff, sounding unnatural,… Everyone learns how to come across with clearly, with competence, on their A-game, and representing your business very, very well.

The goal? Every time your team speaks on behalf of your business, your business will come across more favorably.
