The people who might want to buy our product or service are expecting us to provide an answer for what they need. It's the "when" and "how" the message is delivered that often makes or breaks the deal. Think about great speakers. These people are able to gain acceptance on a topic through the sheer force of their persuasive delivery. It goes beyond what they are saying. It is how they say it that either builds trust or dilutes trust. Maybe we should spend as much effort on the rythm and timing of our messages as we do on the content.Posted in: Marketing / Media, Things We Like
