Eye Contact and Body Language

Welcome to February Sales Pitches and Presentations Blogging...

When you are planning to present or to sell a product through a sales pitch, eye contact and body language can be the seller. Looking directly at your audience is so very important. This shows that you are confident in what you are saying, and that you care about who you are talking to. Looking away, reading right off your notes, and/or even staring at the back of the room can all be considered rude, careless or simply disconnected with your product. People are smart. People understand the simplicity, yet effectiveness, of looking at others directly in the eye.

Body language? JUST as important. Possibly even more important than eye contact. Crossing your arms, Crossing your legs, looking down, frowning, fidgeting, playing with hair, tapping feet, etc. can all be clear signs of lack of confidence and care to your audience. Standing straight, looking at your audience, dressing appropriately and remaining calm and collected are all aspects and actions that can truly enhance and assist your presentation or sales pitch.
