Oct 4, 2014 Toastmasters Meeting - The Sales Training Speech

After more than 5 years hiatus from Toastmasters, I delivered a new speech. This time, it would be with the BF Community Toastmasters Club. This is my 3rd advanced speech, The Sales Training Speech, from The Professional Speaker manual. The speech is entitled "Curb Appeal" and was evaluated by Beth Pableo DTM.

In the audience were: Duchess Cruz, Loise Bañez, Roselle Ganotisi, Jun Carillo, Jomarc Baquiran, Rema Manzano, Lolet delos Reyes, guest Beth Bonifacio and Beth Pableo. All were flashing "4" to indicate the achieved 4 DCP points to garner a club lectern as reward. The lectern was awarded to BF Comm TMC in a separate meeting.

Resuming Toastmasters Membership

After sending some advanced feelers, today I showed up at the BF Community Toastmasters Club at KEI Restaurant in Las Pinas to rejoin Toastmasters. It's been a long time since I've attended a club meeting. The last one was in December 5, 2009 which coincided with the ACT Club Christmas Party at ViewFort Terrace Hill in Carmona, Cavite. That was 5 years ago!

Shown below are members Virgilo Aseco Santos and Jun Carillo.

Some of the folks below include: Jomarc Baquiran, Duchess, Beth Pableo, Jun Carillo, Nomel Gilongos, Lolet, Rema Manzano and Roselle Ganotisi.
