Using Your Voice as a Sales Tool

(1.8 ceu)

Is your voice an unpredictable liability? Vocal delivery has five times more impact than the content of what you say and coupled with silent messages equals 90 percent of how people perceive you. This course covers the basics of good speech: vocal health, volume, pace, articulation, relaxation, and breath control. Also learn the value of more advanced practices of emphasis, pausing, inflection, and the importance of silent messages (eye contact, facial expression, body language). Learn proven, professional skills that will add polish and professionalism to your vocal image.
