Let’s face it, if you are in network marketing then you have to learn how to be a better public speaker to make big money. The man or woman at the front of the room is the one who earns the most money and it will always be that way.

While you don’t have to be the best public speaker in the world, you do need to be able to deliver your message with confidence. If you’re shaking, people often wonder what you have to hide and if they can trust you. Here are the five easy ways to become a better public speaker.

#1 – Study your material

I can’t tell you how many people love to just wing it and hope it all works out. Sometimes this is overconfidence and sometimes it is laziness. Whatever the reason, it’s not a good idea to improvise. You want to make sure you study the material and know it very well so that you feel confident when you deliver your material.

#2 – Know your audience

Who are you talking to? Do you enjoy jokes? Are they more of a serious crowd? When you know who you’re talking to, you can tailor the message to feel like it’s just for the person you’re talking to. When people feel like you’re speaking to them personally, they love to listen!

#3 – Rehearse

It’s great if you follow #1 and study your material but also want to rehearse. Find a friend, family member, pet, or even some stuffed animals and try your heart out.

#4 – Don’t apologize

I’m sorry, but there’s nothing worse than someone who starts their chat with I’m sorry, but. People don’t want to hear your apology. People want to hear you speak.

#5 – Focus on the Message

He wants to make sure he gets the message home. When people leave, they need to know what you were conveying to them. There’s nothing worse than wasting your time and leaving a conversation confused about the message.

Follow these tips and you will start to become a better public speaker.
