3 Words That Will Boost Your Persuasive Power
In every profession you need persuasive power. Examples:
–Teachers must persuade students that the difficult information they have to learn will be well worth the effort.
–Coaches persuade players to develop their skills, stamina, and motivation.
–Real estate professionals persuade buyers to “buy this house, because it is perfect for you.”
–New managers persuade the team members that their new leader is competent and fair.
–Fund raisers persuade potential donors their charitable organization will use gifts to help people in need.
Fortunately, there is an almost magical question you will find very useful for persuading–as I have for three decades.
To learn that phrase, watch my brief video, at the top of this post.

5 Ways to Get Great Testimonials
One of the best ways to promote your business is to get your clients to endorse you with glowing testimonials. What clients say about you generates far more impact than anything you could say about yourself.
So watch this brief video (at the top of this post) to hear my 5 ways to get great testimonials–and more of them!

Disgusting Visual Aids Don’t Support Your Words
Yes, visual aids will bring your words to life. As a Speech Coach, I have been teaching that for years.
However, not just any visual aid will do. Disgusting ones will distract and even revolt your audience.
Example: The grocery store customer told me he likes dogs. Very fine so far.
Yet then he pulled off his shirt–entirely–and pointed to his two dogs, displayed on a large tattoo on his arm. As you can guess, I would have preferred no visual aid at all.
So when you’re planning a visual aid to amplify your words, be sure you are sensitive to how the audience might react. Stay on the safe side, and you’ll get your meaning across more tastefully.
Commitment–the Highest Level of Communication
A golf professional told me–talking about life, not golf–“Losers make promises. Winners make commitments.”
In this brief video, you’ll hear about a splendid example of commitment I experienced when my friend Terry Brock said he would drive from out of town to meet me for lunch.
Then stormy weather arrived and. . .
…watch the video above to see what happened, and what we can learn from Terry that will benefit our business communication.
