Author says that by looking at public speaking and seminars as a form of marketing, businesses will see a boost in their bottom line. Wilkes-Barre, PA, April 2, 2009 - We are in an age when businesses are often under public scrutiny, if not outright attack, and advertising dollars often don’t provide any results, either to quell public sentiment or turn a profit. California native David Portney has a solution: it’s time to put a face to your business and learn to effectively speak in public.
“Sometimes it’s painful to watch these CEOs being interviewed on TV,” says author of 129 More Seminar Speaking Success Tips David Portney. “If they only had just a little bit of speaking training, they would be able to shed the aura of distrust that they give off.”
What’s a speaker’s biggest flaw? “I have 258 tips between two books that address a lot of flaws, but the one that many people are guilty of is not using their hands properly. It’s not always what you say, but how you say it, and a person’s body language does more to harm or help a person’s message than just about anything.”
Mr. Portney says that by looking at public speaking and seminars as a form of marketing, businesses will see a boost in their bottom line. “Today, people don’t want to see yet another advertisement. They want to see a person. They want a person to talk to them. Seminars and speaking make your business personal, and that in turn boosts bottom lines.”
David Portney has been doing trainings, keynote speeches, seminars, and every kind of public speaking you can imagine for over 20 years. 129 More Seminar Speaking Success Tips is his fourth book. He is also the president of the American Seminar Academy.
129 More Seminar Speaking Success Tips is Mr. Portney’s follow-up to his highly successful 129 Seminar Speaking Success Tips. It is currently available online and at booksellers nationwide. For more information, you can visit www.129seminarspeakingsuccesstips.com.
