We often associate fast talkers with hyperactivity—or even scams. Slick con artists are usually “fast talkers,” but there is another breed that shares the characteristic.
According to the December ’11 Prevention, a recent study showed that “most successful people speak at a quicker clip—3.5 words per second—and that fast talking leads to an air of authority.”
So the next time you’re trying to convince investors, have some caffeine before the meeting.
