Does Talking with Your Hands Help Sales?

 

Here is a quick sales tip that you may or may not agree with: Talk with your hands when selling. “Sales Hunter” Mark Hunter suggests that when interacting with a client, even over the phone, speak with your hands, which he says will:

• Add energy and enthusiasm to your voice
• Bring out your confidence
• Lend authority to your words

This may be a great way for salespeople to improve their communication skills, but others may worry about their hands being a distraction. What do you think?
