“Public Speaking Tips – Three Secrets To Success” By Steve Black

There are many organizations that teach people how to speak.  These tested and proven companies are great when you want to get better for speaking at meetings or just want to be able to communicate information better.  Many of the largest companies across the globe spend millions annually sending their employees to get “trained” on public speaking to improve the communication across their organizations.

When you just want to learn how to communicate a message better, then any training will do.  When you want to discover public speaking tips that will allow you to take command of an audience, engage people in your subject, and compel them to take action in 60 minutes or less then I invite you to read on below.

Many people try to get better at public speaking the hard way.  They go through event after event getting nice “pats on the back” but they don’t walk away with sales.  Getting people to enroll in your product or service after speaking doesn’t require PowerPoint, fancy handouts or even a nice location.  I invite you to discover the following 3 public speaking tips and tricks to help you make more money from your next time in front of an audience.

1. Your Core Story – Getting conversion from your speaking events means helping the audience to relate to you.  Sure you want them to see you as an “expert” but you also want them to know you understand what it is like to be in their shoes.  If you are selling something complicated (like technology solutions or Insurance products) share with them how you didn’t understand it at one time as well.  Get your core story out in the first 8 minutes of your talk.
2. Conversation – One of the public speaking tips that many people have a challenge with putting into practice is generating conversation with the audience.  When you ask powerful questions to specific audience members the rest of the crowd will take careful note and the people that you call on will feel even more engaged in the material.
3. Don’t Pitch – People fear the “pitch man”.  They don’t want to attend a 60, 90, or 120 minute event that is a total “pitch fest”.  Give your audience value, share with them tips, but leave enough out so they want more.  When they want more help they will feel compelled to get out their wallets and sign up at the end.
