By Larry L. Nichols
Making your voice work for you is a guerrilla tactic. Many people neglect their vocal tool as it's usually taken for granted. But being the wise guerrilla marketer that you are you can add your vocal ability to your arsenal. Yes we all speak but did you know that people are either attracted or repelled by your voice. It's a fact so making your voice work for you is not only a wise move but a wise move that any guerrilla marker can use to strategically propel their marketing.
These ten tips when used strategically can move your marketing to the next level:
TIP #1. MIMIC Matching your vocal speed and vocal quality of the person you are talking to creates an immediate bond and vocal appeal. If your prospects talks fast, speed up your pace, if you prospect is a low talker lower your voice.
TIP #2. SMILE Starting with a smile on your face before answering your phone or making a marketing call can enhance your vocal appeal and your delivery.
TIP #3. ASSUME THE POSITION When sitting sit with a posture that creates a positive strong impact and that will surely come thru in your voice.
TIP #4. RECORD YOURSELF Listening to how you sound, really sound, is to your benefit because it gives you a more objective view of how people are perceiving you. A simple tape deck can be your most valuable tool.
TIP #5. HIRE A VOICE COACH Working on your delivery with a voice coach can be a valuable tool and can help to get the most bang for your buck.
TIP #6. MATCH YOUR VOICE TO YOUR MESSAGE If your business is hip and trendy, reflect that quality in your voice. Marketing a singles club? Friendly and sexy would be a great match. You get the idea.
TIP #7. RE-RECORD YOUR VOICEMAIL GREETING After polishing up on your vocal delivery re-recording your greeting can give your marketing a more powerful impact. Make sure there are no slip ups on your outgoing greeting. If you slip keep re-recording it until it sounds flawless.
TIP #8. DRINK WATER Water soothes the vocal chords and makes the voice more appealing. Actually hydrates the brain too so you can think more clearly before you speak. Drink it at room temperature and it will refresh you and work toward your vocal benefit.
TIP #9. GET UP AND WALK If you can go cordless walk while you talk on the phone. The energy from the movement will come thru in your voice and who doesn't need more energy
TIP #10. THINK HAPPY, SOUND HAPPY Get yourself in a happy mindset and your voice will reflect that. And as we know everyone loves to be around happy people.
