Opportunity Knocks

Conquer the Fear

Fear of public speaking, another example of fear of rejection, is very common. Good presenters will tell you that the key to overcoming the fear is to be prepared. If you anticipate objections and prepare for worst-case scenarios, you’ll feel much more confident about yourself and your presentation.

Roger Seip, founder of Freedom Speakers & Trainers, shares with readers at Business Know-How the “4 Tips to Take the Terror Out of Giving Presentations.”

Seip says to conquer your fears begin by knowing what you are talking about; decide on a few key points to share with your audience; create visual triggers; and have fun, relax and be yourself.

Reject Your Fear

Fear of rejection is probably the main factor that keeps salespeople from succeeding. It can seriously hinder your progress by rendering you helpless – if you let it. Almost everyone has a fear of rejection, it's a human innate need that makes us want to be liked and accepted and if what we are asking of a client is rejected, we begin to feel like WE were rejected. Not true! It is the situation that the client is not accepting – don’t take it personally.

Laura Laaman, sales speaker, trainer and columnist shares with readers at Portland Business Journal ways to overcome your fears in selling.

“For those seeking to maximize productivity across an entire sales team, the key is to select a solution designed not for management but for the individual salesperson,” Imam writes.
