VOICE The Image the customer has of the Salesperson is vital. In telesales the image is created through voice alone. There is no smartly dressed representative to see, no glittering product to touch and tantalize-just a voice on the other end of the phone. However good the present telephone system may be, the fact remains that the quality of the sound of the human voice is partially lost through transmission, resulting in the client misinterpreting your meaning.
To Allow speech to be heard clearly be careful with your choice of words. Use simple words. Avoid jargon and local expressions which may not be understood by your clients. Speak clearly and use correct pronunciation. Accent can give your talk a real boost as they are unique and can sound very atttractive.
Donot waffle or attack the client. Stop to breathe. Pausing is very important. Don't speak in a monotone manner not only this make you sound boring and unethusiastic but it could be mislead that your product is lacking in substance too. And a little colour to your voice. Expressions are very important. Relax when you are talking. Imagine you were talking to your friend. Your attitude is expressed by the way you talk over the phone.
Don't rush the call and use your sales techniques. Remain professional and smile. A simple smile on the salesperson's face reflects in the voice and it really works.
