The Power of Improv<\/p>\n

Make Your Prospects Laugh<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI believe improvisation and stand-up comedy classes can be a tremendous supplement to traditional sales training,\u201d Troy Piekarski, an advocate for standup comedy training, told Forbes.com. \u201cThe quick thinking, engagement, and connection required help sales people cope better in the field when up against unpredictable scenarios.\u201d<\/p>\n

Improv can you teach you to better connect with people, forcing you to make connections with others beyond just your impressive resume, says Will Ness, a lawyer and standup comedian. You\u2019re forced to find a common ground with others and you start to realize the similarity in experiences, and the connection from laughing can help you build relationships offstage too, Ness says.<\/p>\n

Improv helps you to improve your listening skills as well, says Matt Wohlfarth, author of The ABC\u2019s of Stand-up Comedy<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cStandup comedy and improv classes teach you to connect with your audience and your improv partners in a unique way. They both teach\u00a0\u2018active listening,’\u201d Wohlfarth says. \u201cStandup comedy teaches you to listen to all the cues that your audience is giving you, both verbal and nonverbal signals.\u00a0It makes you an expert at body language, which is a vital skill in the business world. Improv classes are exceptional tutorials in the \u2018how to\u2019 of active listening. These are the precise skills needed to make a clever improvised scene and help you deliver your business presentation with confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n
