You have less than 7 seconds to make a good first impression.

Only a small amount of your effectiveness in communication is a result of what you actually say.

The majority of your effectiveness to engage your prospect comes from the tone of voice you use in your pitch.

Keep your prospects attention by combining tones during your presentation otherwise they will tune out. Changing your tone from high when asking a question or seeking agreement – to firm when making a bold statement – to to a whisper when you want to peak their interest. This will help keep whomever your talking to engaged.

Things to try!

Vary your tone.
It may sound simple or sometimes stupid when you hear yourself doing it, but by varying the tone in our voice we actually engage our audience.

Vary the speed of your delivery.
By slowing down, breaking up your delivery or speeding it up, we can emphasize different words and given them a larger meaning.

Vary your volume.
Sometimes even lowering your voice to a whisper can engage your prospect, almost like you are telling them a secret!

Use proper articulation.
Don’t slur, be clear and concise.
