Is Your Communication Style Turning Prospects Off?

Lately when I speak to potential business partners and referral sources who DM me on Facebook and LinkedIn to connect and start a business relationship it’s always business first with no social etiquette or personal attachment. They seem to forget their reason for connecting and that fundamentally, people who run these businesses are PEOPLE. Nothing keeps potential referral partners and prospect away from you and your business more than a mindless robot running the show who doesn't take the time to get to know you and only cares about the sale. Making the connection just to get straight to the pitch shows that you don’t care about the person who will potentially send you business or use your services or their time. So, what are the things we can do to prevent this type of conversation and actually forge real relationships based on reciprocity and trust?

Setting Up Your Own Home Studio

The pandemic has been tough on us all, especially with adjusting from working in a workspace to your own setup at home. Most workplaces have all the equipment you need to complete your work efficiently. Now people are working from home and some of us are more ill prepared than others. This Media Training will train you to use the stuff you have at home to set up your own home studio so you can make amazing videos and prepare yourself to go LIVE.

Why Use a Teleprompter

We all tend to ramble when talking especially when people get nervous or overly confident about certain subjects, like the ones that we are experts in. With a teleprompter you can use it to keep you on the right track, and to help you read and say things naturally. If you’re wondering what a teleprompter is, it’s a device used to project a speaker’s script onto a screen when filming promo and other type of videos where the speaker appears alone on camera. This allows the speaker to keep the eye contact to the camera while speaking to it. And this makes your video more personal. It keeps your eyes on the viewer while you maintain the script instead of looking elsewhere like a piece of paper or another screen. Teleprompters are great when used correctly. In fact, in my new Janette’s Media Training Academy and 12-Week Media Training Course now open for registration in my FALL cohort (get on the Waiting List while you still can!), I devote an entire Lesson to mentoring and training my scholars how to use a teleprompter when recording any promo, sales, training, case study, or personal video for their website, blog, or social media posts so they stay on point without rambling, read naturally, and come off authentically without needing to memorize what they’re saying.
