What is Your Story?

Posted on February 21, 2012 by Marthad22

  • What brought you to Toastmasters?
  • What do you like about it?
  • What keeps you around?

When you answer the questions above, you have the heart of how you sell Toastmasters to your guests and friends. You sell as you tell your story. If it is true for you and it moves you, you will move your prospective members with your story.

We may complicate selling Toastmasters. Your learning and growth means something to you. When you tell your success in Toastmasters and how some part of your life has changed, you will move people and bring them to your club. Keep it simple and close to your heart. Acknowledge your growth and tell people about what you’ve learned. You will both win as you speak your truth.
