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 easily give a quite successful speech about themselves, or about experiences that they have had, but when it comes to giving a persuasive speech, this fear quickly reaches a whole new level.

As with other activities in our lives, fear is created through our own imaginations. There are amazing stories of people overcoming fear. For example, people finally holding a snake, people who are afraid of heights going bungy jumping.

There are several critical 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 important that you can demonstrate 2 or 3 key benefits, and even more if you can.

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

When giving a speech for sales, you will always sell more if you incorporate humor. This creates a bond with the audience, and gains their confidence.

Here are 6 more techniques to make a successful selling speech. 1. Research your persuasive sales speech topics, then research the particular one that you choose to deliver. 2. Tell quick little stories to lighten the mood. When you have told the story, pause a while to give the audience time to think through why you may have done this and reflect on your message. Pausing is a great technique to use whenever you have told the audience a very important point. The pause emphasises your point. 3. Tell and show video, text, and audio testimonials from other satisfied purchasers. 4. Recommend that your product could 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. Sales speeches are all about getting the sale at the end of the presentation. This is a critical part of the whole presentation. Lighten the mood of the offer by giving an exaggerated price initially, joke about it, then present the true offer. 6. When giving your price, say the dollar value when giving a higher offer, then only 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 $6,000 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 make sure the customer buys. So, as this is the most critical part of your speech, it is important that you write what you are going to say and practice it over and over again, and again. You must have this as well-rehearsed as your intro, conclusion, etc.

By practicing your sales speech many times, you will be able to ensure that you incorporate the above techniques to and give your best-ever sales speech.
