Problems that speaking quickly can cause.
When you speak quickly, it affects other vocal is- sues. For example, speed affects the clarity of your words. Literally, the lips, teeth and tongue can’t get into the right position in your mouth. Customers expect to hear the words as they learned them. If you are slipping over syllables or eliminating them all together, customers start focusing on what you just said, versus what you are currently saying. They feel like they are translating a foreign language. It affects comprehension. Also, if any of your customers are not native born, English-speaking Americans, it may be difficult for them to make any sense out of what you are saying.Speaking quickly also affects the tone of your voice. It is impossible to sound friendly, sincere or empathetic without pausing. Your voice may even be a monotone. If the voice is a monotone, the customer concludes you are disinterested. Who want to do business with someone who is disinterested?
