How to make eye contact with your audience to act

After every talk I give in front of a group of new prospects, I always have at least one person (usually more than one person) in the audience rushing over to me to explore the possibility of him or her becoming a member of my team and If I can be your direct upline regardless of who invited you to the event of the day. How? How did this happen? And why do I gain new team members and new direct sales every time I speak on stage?

First, let me ask you a question, how would you connect with your audience when speaking on stage? I understand that bonding on a personal level when speaking one-on-one is possible in many ways. But how is it possible to create a high level of intimacy between you and your audience when speaking one to many on stage?

The answer is in the following lines:

If there is one thing “and I mean it”, only one thing that can destroy your career in public speaking and ultimately in network marketing in general, is the lack of the decisive talent of Eye Contact, in and out of it. stage, of course.

Cultivating eye contact with the audience is something novice Network Speakers never do and even professional Network Speakers don’t really do it well.

Most speakers do not make eye contact correctly for two reasons:

1- They are too much in, they are busy, thinking “what the audience may be thinking about me right now” or trying to remember what to say, how to move, what to do and many other things that go on in their head to a point where sometimes they forget about the audience completely, which is a fatal mistake when speaking in public. When you are speaking in public you must stay focused on your audience, you must stay with your audience while your mouth is only focused on your content, your legs and hands must focus on your movements and your lungs must focus on your breathing depending on at what point. of the bandwidth of your voice in which it is exactly, in that very particular second.

2- They are overconfident and think that whatever they do on stage, people will like it and receive it. Certain; I agree, they will like it and they will happily receive, but the main question is: will they act? Will they buy? Will they end up doing what you want them to do? Which is actually the main goal of your entire performance. I personally don’t think they do.

Here’s a fact for you. My mentor had done me a life-saving favor when he once handed me the most precious treasure of the public speaking profession, he said: Jalal, here is the golden rule for public speaking that most public speakers Professionals will not tell you at all: If not I would do it one by one; Don’t do it one to many! And when you talk to someone; you make eye contact with them; And you?.

So how do you make the right eye contact with your audience while speaking on stage? Let’s get to the nuts and bolts of eye contact, you’re going to love this, I promise.

Suppose you are speaking now and you are about to utter a line, a sentence with a couple of commas and periods. So what should I do? Talk while looking over their heads or maybe spray them with your random drizzle? Of course not, never do that, you will sound like a novice speaker.

Instead, you pick one person, look them in the eye, and speak directly to them until you get to the end point, and then you go to someone else until you get to that comma, then to someone else for the next comma, and so on. It keeps changing radically from one person to another at random.

Simple truth? When you look into the person’s eyes, that person will instantly have a flash of meaning within “Wow, the speaker is talking to me, wow; it’s me”, then they will start to relate whatever you have said to their real life, rewinding your memory tape. only to find something in his past, similar to what he just said. Now they are justifying what you just said so that it can resonate with them and their life experience even more to show that they are really important enough to get that look from you when you said that particular line.

This is it, I just gave you my precious public speaking secret and the secret of every successful public speaker. As a result of this, you are guaranteed to hear this comment from at least one person every time you speak: Wow, I love your speech, I felt like you were talking only to me. Love it? I know, I love him too.

When you make eye contact with your audience, there are a few precautions to keep in mind and pay special attention to:

  • Never try to make eye contact with the audience one by one sequentially, seat by seat and row by row, it will look funny if not strange.

  • You will have favorites, the ones that always smile and nod when you look at them, don’t keep looking at these nice ones all the time, keep moving.

  • Many different faces are going to be there, complete strangers to you, this is just what you think, because they are not, now they are your people, they have taken the time to sit and listen to you and they deserve a look from you. Not everyone is excited to hear what you are about to say, most have never heard of you. Nevertheless; eye contact has nothing to do with faces, you are making eye contact “your eye to his eye”, not “eye to face” so be careful and don’t get caught up in people’s energy. Instead, bring them to their high energy state.

  • Never break eye contact with a person in the audience, smile and move on gently.

  • Never assume you don’t even think about what they think of you. When you make eye contact, keep what I call the SSSS Staring, Talking, Smiling, and Changing System.

Finally, don’t risk neglecting eye contact with your audience, not doing so may make you comfortable for a while, but you will regret it forever in the long run, while doing so may seem not so comfortable at first, but it is guaranteed. to make you a great speaker and make the whole experience memorable for you and your audience.
