Voice Description

Grandfather/Favorite Uncle: The voice that says, “You can trust what I’m about to tell you. What you hear will reassure you and offer gentle counsel.”

Significant Other: There are times when it’s just the two of us. Nothing in between but tenderness and affection. We’ll savor the moment.

Selling: Products, services, whatever - there is a reason your customer needs this. You decide what it is and I’ll make sure that they get the message.

Persuading: Sometimes the situation requires a rational, patient, and logical presentation. Effective persuasion leads to satisfying decisions.

Informing: When your message needs to be conveyed in a manner that compels the audience to listen and understand, strength and confidence carry the day.

Telling a story: There’s nothing better than a story that’s well told by someone who can tell it well. I’d love to tell your story.

Down Home: I’ll take you out on the back porch and we’ll sit a while, talk a bit, and get to know each other. If there’s business to be done, we’ll do it as friends.
