A patient goes to see the doctor and says “I sound lousy.”

Doctor asks: “What are your symptoms?”

Patient says: I’d rather jump off a bridge than speak in public;

my favorite words are: um, uh, ya’ know & like;

people look dazed & confused when I speak;

my 30-second commercial takes 30 minutes.

Finally the doctor wakes up, apologizes for snoring, and says: “The diagnosis is communicationitis;

the prescription is working with Dale Klein.”

Most of us strive to be healthy and fit; why should our communication be any different?

I’m in the business of communication check-ups.

It starts with your eyes to ensure you have a clear vision of your message,

then moves down to your ears to ensure you hear feedback when you communicate, then we look at your communication cholesterol to cut down on verbal fillers, hesitations, and words that cause clutter.

This results in making sure that the pulse of your communication is alive and well!

Some of us still feel like a kid at heart.

Now that it’s September, we hear the slogan “It’s back to school time” but this isn’t just kid stuff because we never stop learning.

When you’re well-schooled in how to communicate with your staff, colleagues, clients and prospects, you go right to the head of the class and I can help you get there.

When you speak, do you start with a platitude or an attitude?

When you speak, do you come across as beat up or upbeat?

When you speak, are you just getting through your message or getting your
message through?

This is the power of questions.

The powerful speaker is remembered; are you?

Everything has a price, including the meetings you attend.

When you calculate your gas, hourly rate, preparation and follow-up, the cost is
significant if it doesn’t yield business.

The good news is when you hire me and learn how to effectively network, give your 30-second commercial and conduct powerful presentations, the return is priceless.

Whether you’re a business owner, employee or somewhere in the middle,
we all have two things in common.

We want to ensure that we invest our dollars wisely.

And we know that successful business people sound clear,
compelling and confident because that’s a sound investment.

My business is how you sound; are you ready to invest in yourself?

Your communication is either costing you money or making you money.

Nothing beats having profitable speech!

I’m Dale Klein, owner of Profitable Speech, A Sound Investment.

Now that it’s August, it’s time to make room for those of us who are Leos.

Since I’m a Leo through & through, I’m passionate about showing you how
to roar about your business when you’re networking, meeting with clients and
giving presentations.

By the way, ROAR is an acronym meaning: Reaching
Outstanding Achievements Rapidly

Just as food is sustenance for our bodies to survive and thrive, effective
communication is the sustenance on which our businesses survive and
thrive.

Would you rather communicate in a way that is paltry, bland and
unsatisfying or would you prefer to deliver hearty, nourishing food for
thought?

How you communicate is my business.

Obesity is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S.

Why?

Because eating excessively is a risk to your personal health.

Similarly, speaking excessively is a risk to your business health.

The goal is to make your message concise, precise and relevant—CPR.

It promises to not only increase your business health but also be a life saver!
