Make your point

Learn tactics to make your point faster and better. The less jargon you use, the more engaging you become. Think of it this way, if shorter sentences get read then the shorter sentences when speaking must get heard. The secret is to watch out for long and cumbersome sentences. Don’t construct your ideas in a way that overburdens people’s brains. Otherwise listeners will get stuck trying to figure out what you mean.

Here’s my suggestion try using vocal hangers, pause ever so slightly before you deliver the goods. This heightens the level of anticipation and energy into the conversation. And here’s the best part, the more you internalize them, the more natural they will sound. The more natural they sound, the more they will become part of your lexicon; the more people will pay attention when they hear them.
Examples include:
The secret is…
Here's the deal…
Let me ask ya this…
Here’s the best part…
Think of it this way…
