Kman124 asked:


I’m very interested in going into this business, but let’s just say I would, if at all possible, like to avoid holding seminars or doing speeches. I’m a very hard worker and a friendly person, and I’m just wondering if you can be successful selling life and/or health insurance without having to do seminars and such. I’ve read that most of the successful people do those things, but you can you achieve moderate success without it? Has anyone become successful without having to do those things or knows anyone who is successful without doing those things? Thanks in advance!

What is best for career success: public speaking or acting skills?

Conversation asked:


I will have time to take one Community Education class next term. Both meet for four sessions and last 2 hours each time. One is a class in Public Speaking and the other is an Acting Class. They say that all of life is a play and most business executives are playing a role to gain respect and credibility. On the other hand good communication skills from a public speaking class would be helpful? Your choice? Have you taken either?
