Want to Learn to Sell Your
Business Ideas?
Maybe You Can Learn From Your Dentist! |
|
| |
If you want
to learn how to sell an idea, take a tip from the dentist of
one of our coach’s sons. During a recent braces consultation,
the dentist passionately told stories about new dental
discoveries and how they would help straighten the child’s
teeth.
“I’ve never
met a dentist who seemed so excited about fixing teeth,” our
coach said. “This guy really seemed to love his job and it
came across in his voice and face. It made me want to switch
dentists. I want him to work on my teeth. But he only does
kids. I’m so disappointed.” |

To Business Success,
Author Says. |

When Sony was looking for a new chairman, they
had plenty of qualified candidates. But they
shocked the world and picked Howard Stringer,
the first ever non-Japanese to run the media
giant.
Why? Because they found him to be the most
“likeable”.
That is according to the author of a new book
entitled
The Likeability Factor.

Want to Sell a Lot of "Chickens"? Learn to be a Great
Public Speaker. |

Chicken
tycoon Frank Perdue had never been in a school play before he
took to television with his signature commercials. But he
said he knew that he had to overcome his fear of public speaking if
he was going to promote his business.
Perdue, who
first hit the airwaves with the line “It takes a tough man to
make a tender chicken,” died recently at the age of 84.
And while his life is a testimony to many things, from our
perspective at Speechworks he is a fine example of how
learning to connect with people can lead to business success. |

“I don’t
know why. But all of a sudden, I’ve started getting nervous
when I speak. I’ve been speaking for 20 years and I’ve
always done fine. Suddenly, however, nerves have taken over
and it is scaring me.”
Those are
the words of a senior executive at a Fortune 100 company,
who recently asked Speechworks for help in getting over
stage fright. |

When Henry
Ford introduced the Model T, the joke was that you could have
your car any color you wanted “Just so long as you want
black.” Unfortunately, most public speaking training is the
same.
Most
public speaking training takes place in workshops. But
Speechworks is changing that model with Communication
Situation Coaching. |
