Tips number 1: Our chief interest is ourselves

One of the book that I will always recommend to my friends is "How to win friends and influence people by Dale Carnegie"

You'll learn the basic proven method on how to influence people.

One of the time-tested method of persuasion is practicing yourself to talk about the other person interest. Which is always the topic about 'themselves'.

Every delivery should be about your audience. What is the benefit and how this would add value to their life.

In other words, to get your audience interest, you need to talk with them in their language.

Tips number 2: Tell them stories

People always love stories. A good speaker is always a story-teller.

You need to come out with a extraordinary facts about ordinary thing.

One of the recent example that pop out from my mind is the story about Arnel Pineda; the new lead singer from The Journey.

He was found in the youtube.com by Neal Schon of The Journey and fly him all the way from Philippines to the US for an audition.

And now, he is one of the prominent figure in the music industry and even had being interviewed by Oprah.

Supplement your speech with this kind of stories, surely you will holds their attention.

Tips number 3: Ad lib your speech

Rise above ordinary. Be extraordinary.Taste the joy of genuine communication.

Free yourself from the binding slavery of a script.

You need not write down every word. Train yourself to tell your mouth the things to say.

I'm not saying that this would be easy. But what I'm trying to say is, the more often you work with your material, the easier it will be to ad-lib your speech.

If you have interest in your topic, it will be fun.

Speech ideas are everywhere. Make a habit to collect them.

Tips number 4: Be concrete

Reasoning and the use of evidence are also a strong persuaders.

The more you expose your listeners to your view of the facts, and the more you back these up with details, the more chance you have of securing belief.

You should never expose your listeners to abstractions without referring to specific examples or case studies to support your points of view.

Spend time with your materials. Look for each claims and make sure each of them are backs with facts, charts or examples. Add more evidence if needed.

Tips number 5: Audience participation

Audience participation is a strong factor in personal persuasion.

Be creative and try to find a way to give them activity.

The more they participate, the easier for you to persuade them.

Being a persuasive speaker is not a myth anymore.

Apply this five skills, in no time you'll be a great speaker to your audience and you'll be meeting your objective in every presentation you made.
