Giving a speech is the number one fear that people have. Therefore, delivering sales speeches is often even more difficult for some people.

A person can often give a successful speech about themselves or about experiences that they have had, but when it comes to giving a persuasive speech, the fear can reach a whole new level.

Just like with a lot of other activities in our lives, fear is created through one?s own imagination. There are amazing stories of people overcoming fear, but you were not born with fear; it is an idea created in your own mind.

There are several crucial points to persuasive sales speaking.

First, you need to make sure that your speech content is content you are comfortable with, and that you believe in it. Write a speech outline, and practice your delivery several times.

It is also important that you can demonstrate 2 or 3 key benefits, and I stress, benefits, not features.

A persuasive sales speech should create desire, show the benefits, and prove the need. By delivering your sales speech in this manner, you will have gained the trust of your audience because you have shown them that there are benefits and solutions, and this is what all audiences want to hear. Not just a tired, old, sales pitch.

When giving a speech for sales it has been shown to be a more persuasive speech if you can incorporate humor. Humor creates a bond with the audience and gains their confidence.

Here are 6 more techniques to make a successful sales speeches. 1. Research your sales speech topics, then research the particular one that you choose to deliver. 2. Tell quick little stories to lighten the mood. After you have told your story, pause a moment to give the audience time to and reflect on your message. Pausing is a fabulous technique to use whenever you have told the audience a very important point. The pause will emphasise your point. 3. Tell and show testimonials from other satisfied purchasers. 4. Recommend that the product you are sellingcould be a great gift for someone else they care about, as it may not be for them right now. 5. Always give the audience a great purchase deal.

Lighten the mood of the offer by giving an over charged price initially, joke about it, then present the true offer. 6. When giving the price, say the dollar value when giving a higher offer, then only say the figure when making the true offer, eg. “The individual price for these cleaners is $15 each, but, for you, as a special offer today, I am offering them at $500 dollars for two. (chuckle) Just kidding, for you today I am offering two for 20.”

The final, and most important part, of any successful persuasive sales speech is to close sales. So, as this is the critical part of your speech, it is important that you write down what you are going to say and practice it over and over again, and again. You must have this word-perfect for your speech to be effective.

By practicing your speech many times, you will be able to ensure that you incorporate the above techniques to give a sales presentation that brings you money FAST.
