Moving effectively is a skill that like any other skills can be improved through practice. Many people who move expressively get along well with others and do well at their jobs. To be able to improve ones personality in dealing with people, whether superior or peers, the following suggestions can be helpful.

1. First, observe how an individual’s movement can help or hinder a sales presentation. Make a mental note of gestures that successful individuals make that are particularly effective or relevant. Begin to imitate these movements but adapt only on what are comfortable and effortless for you to imitate without being overly awkward when put into practice.
2. Second, another technique is to hang on mirror near the phone you usually use. Notice the difference of your facial expressions when using the phone talking to a superior, a favorite client, a tough customer, a stranger and others. So much work is done on the phone so use that opportunity to improve on non-verbal performance while conversing over the phone.
3. Third, role playing with a colleague is another better idea. Cite scenarios in handling different types of people of various personalities on how to approach, present, handling objections and closing of sales. Set up panel discussions with a few friends or co-workers and be ready to welcome their observations, suggestions and critics.
4. Fourth, practice eye contact by looking into the eyes of your prospects, co-workers and acquaintances. Try to talk with your eyes properly coordinated with your gestures.
5. Lastly, as the saying goes, “constant practice makes perfect” plays an important self-confidence building activity for your success.
