Is it true or false that the speaking-listening differential can be used to predict how many moments of silence will likely occur in the sales presentation?

True. The speaking-listening differential refers to the difference between the rate at which a speaker talks and the rate at which a listener processes information. A greater differential may indicate that the speaker is providing information too quickly for the listener to absorb, potentially leading to more moments of silence as the listener struggles to keep up or process the content. Therefore, understanding this differential can help predict the likelihood of pauses during a sales presentation.
