How to Make Your Initial Zoom Meetings More Engaging Whether You Can See Your Customer or Not | Julie Hansen - 1515
While we might be in a post-pandemic world, the myriad of zoom calls is here to stay. But, for any professional, creating and maintaining professional virtual relationships is more complex than in-person. In today’s episode of The Sales Evangelist, Donald is joined by actor, author, and founder of Selling On-Video Master Class Julie Hansen to learn how to better engage our virtual audiences. When transitioning from theatre to camera, she had to practice communication.
Communicating with a client whose video is off can be challenging.
Resist the urge to watch yourself:
How can you better engage with virtual prospects?
In-person communication utilizes much more body language than we realize. But if your face has nothing to say, why are you on video? Being expressive will help book more meetings. Julie’s major takeaway? Don’t expect this to be something you’ll figure out independently. While you can minimize the importance of these skills, recognize others are perfecting this craft to deliver great virtual communication. And they’ll make their customers feel seen and heard. To contact Julie, follow her on Twitter @acting4sales, LinkedIn (@juliehansensalestraining), or YouTube. This episode is brought to you in part by Skipio. Are you sick of crickets?
