OBAOL – BDA Voice & Delivery Guide

(For Training Videos, Call Roleplays, and Onboarding)

This document is operational instruction, not motivation.
It is written so a third-party content creator or video team can execute it without interpretation.


Purpose of the Voice

The BDA voice must signal:

  • Seriousness
  • Credibility
  • Non-sales intent
  • Execution focus

If the voice sounds enthusiastic, friendly, or persuasive, it is incorrect.


Core Voice Identity

The BDA must sound like:

  • A risk and execution coordinator
  • An infrastructure partner
  • A neutral professional

The BDA must NOT sound like:

  • A sales executive
  • A platform promoter
  • A broker
  • A startup evangelist

Pace (Most Important)

Correct Pace

  • Slow
  • Deliberate
  • Measured

Rule:

One sentence → pause → next sentence

Silence is intentional.

Incorrect Pace

  • Fast talking
  • Filling silence
  • Continuous explanation

Tone Qualities (Non-Negotiable)

1. Calm, Not Friendly

  • No excitement
  • No casual tone
  • Polite but neutral

Correct:

“I’ll take 20 seconds.”

Incorrect:

“Hi sir, hope you’re doing great!”


2. Confident, Not Assertive

  • Never push
  • Never persuade
  • Never chase agreement

Correct:

“OBAOL is not for everyone.”

Incorrect:

“This will really help you.”


3. Precise, Not Broad

  • Short sentences
  • No buzzwords
  • No exaggeration

Correct:

“We work after connections exist.”

Incorrect:

“We revolutionize agro trading.”


Word Stress & Emphasis

Teach creators to emphasize only these words:

  • execution
  • verification
  • completion
  • risk
  • only when a trade completes

Do not emphasize:

  • platform
  • technology
  • growth
  • scale
  • opportunity

Pause Map (Critical for Video)

BDAs must pause exactly as shown:

“OBAOL is not a marketplace.”
(pause – 1 second)
“We work after connections exist.”
(pause – 1 second)
“Our role is execution.”
(pause)

Pauses create authority.


Pitch Range & Volume

  • Medium–low pitch
  • No pitch rise at sentence end
  • Statements, not questions

Correct:

“We reduce execution risk.”

Incorrect:

“We reduce execution risk?”


Language Rules

Always Use

  • “We focus on…”
  • “Our role is…”
  • “We earn only when…”

Never Use

  • “We try to…”
  • “We can help you…”
  • “We offer many things…”

Emotional Posture

Correct Emotional State

  • Detached
  • Professional
  • Selective

Incorrect Emotional State

  • Eager
  • Hopeful
  • Overly respectful

Respect is shown through brevity, not flattery.


Handling Interruptions (Important)

If interrupted:

  1. Stop talking
  2. Let them finish
  3. Respond with one sentence only

Correct:

“Understood. That’s exactly where we operate.”

Incorrect:

Long clarifications


Body Language (For Video Content)

Correct

  • Upright posture
  • Minimal hand movement
  • Direct but relaxed eye contact

Incorrect

  • Excessive smiling
  • Leaning forward
  • Animated gestures

Internal BDA Mantra

“If they feel I’m selling, I’ve failed.”


10-Second Voice Check (For Creators)

Before recording, ask:

  1. Am I calm?
  2. Am I slow?
  3. Am I neutral?
  4. Am I saying less than needed?

If all four are yes — record.


Final CMO Verdict

This voice tone:

  • Separates OBAOL from every Indian platform call
  • Signals seniority and credibility
  • Works with CEOs and legacy traders
  • Protects brand seriousness
  • Is easy to train and audit
