THE HUMAN VOICE IN SALES™
Face camera. Explain why Earn the Next 30 Seconds matters to anyone who sells by phone.
Salespeople underestimate this: Earn the Next 30 Seconds.
The prospect hears your confidence before they fully process your words. Speak to one person, not an audience. Slow down, make the point, pause, and let the other person enter the conversation. That is where trust begins.

SAY THIS, NOT THAT™
Demonstrate the weak version first, then the stronger human version, around: Earn the Next 30 Seconds.
A small change can alter an entire sales conversation: Earn the Next 30 Seconds.
Weak: rush into a pitch and make the prospect defend their time. Better: sound composed, state the reason for calling, then create room for a response. A script should support the conversation, never replace it.
