Transcript<\/h3>\n

Scott Ingram: You’re listening to the Daily Sales Tips podcast and I’m your host, Scott Ingram. Today I’ve got my own tip for you that I used pretty extensively over the weekend. Unless I absolutely have to I don’t watch live presentations. This especially applies to webinars, but I’m also thinking of applying Matt Du Pont’s suggestion from tip #816<\/a> and even applying this to my own company meetings that get recorded.<\/p>\n

There are two reasons why it makes sense to skip the live version. The first is it’s probably during a productive part of your day when you’d be better served doing something else, and second, you can’t speed up live. I use a chrome extension called Video Speed Controller. I’ve got a link to that for you at DailySales.Tips\/849<\/a>. This allows me to speed up the playback of any video in my browser. I don’t remember what the defaults are, but I’ve customized the settings so that when a video starts I just press the letter F on my keyboard and it automatically starts playing the video at double speed. If I need to slow things back down I can press the letter R to go back to regular speed. F for Fast, R for Regular.<\/p>\n

Now I can watch that 30-minute presentation in just 15 minutes after hours. This is how I listen to podcasts as well. If you’re listening to podcasts at regular speed. Try speeding it up. Most podcast players have this option, and if playing things at 2 times is too much, try starting with a 10 or 20% increase and building up over time. You have that same level of granular control with the Video Speed Controller extension. Give it a try and let me know what you think.<\/p>\n

Then, be sure to come back tomorrow for another great sales tip. Thanks for listening!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
