Speech Coach for Professionals, Pitfalls of Speaking Too Fast

Speech Coach for Professionals:   When one speaks too fast

A meeting was attended recently where a free breakfast was offered to 2,000 attendees in order to sell them a very upscale

software program.  The breakfast was exquisite and following its conclusion the salesperson gave the sales presentation.  He couldn't understand why people were walking out, and also talking to one another during his presentation.

One of the attendees informed me of what happened that morning and it was learned that NO ONE COULD UNDERSTAND WHAT HE WAS SAYING!  His speech was so fast and "low" that few, if any got the message.  What was worse?  The result.  Few sales when a year before there was a line to purchase the product that was very, very long.

What was the difference between Vigorous and Minimal sales?

This guy had no stories of interest, but even if he had his speech was so fast!  Few people comprehended anything he said!  And his volume was very low.  No vocal projection, no movement on the stage, little to no gesture, or asking the audience questions to get them into the presentation.  These are all things that can be readily improved upon with the right training and speech Coach.

The attendee who asked for help

The person who conveyed this message also had a major speaking difficulty of the same magnitude.   Within a very short time he could be understood without others having to strain to listen.  His words were clear and articulation was succinct.  

A very happy person

This is what he said following the training.

Mark helped me be more understandable by marking out each word by tapping my fingers. That makes each word more distinct and prevents the run-togethers. Thanks! -Terry Schmidt-
