370 - Presenting with Confidence with Smart Passive Income’s Voiceover Guy John Melley

Web Design Business with Josh Hall

If you’re nervous, anxious, jittery or just plain distraught before sales calls or meetings…you’re not alone. I honestly can’t believe this isn’t talked about more. After all – you pour your heart and soul into building awesome websites and refining your craft but in order to get paid for that hard work…you gotta sell!
Luckily, there are many things you can do to build confidence and calm before a sales meeting. And that’s what we’re diving into today.
I’m pumped to be joined by voiceover professional John Melley who – if you’ve listened to Pat Flynn’s “Smart Passive Income” podcast – you already know…he’s the guy who’s intro’d Pat and done his fun facts for years.
Needless to say, I’ve been listening to John in this form for years. Always wondering…”Is that his real voice?”
You’ll find that out in this wide-ranging convo about:

• Calming nerves before sales meetings
• How to speak and present clearly and confidently
• How to physically change your state if you’re nervous
• How to save your voice when you talk a lot
• Posture tips while working

And a whole lot more.
P.S. Be sure to check out his book The Voiceover Athlete (don’t worry, it’s for web designers too!)
