Explanation: First of all, since there is a no politics, no religion policy on the site, I will not go into detail for my very first impression because it does have a spiritual connotation.
Secon impression, when I hear the command "speak", I always think of my pet dog who wouldrespond to "speak" and be rewarded with a dog biscuit. I would use something along the lines of 'one word gets things moving!' or, 'just say the word and get things moving' ...
It gives the impression of simplicity (it's so easy just to say a word) and of power (Wow! one word will get things going, everyone obeys!).
I'd also like to know what kind of company this is for. Interesting.
The confidence level reflects my personal impressions (I'm sure of them.)

Thirdly, please excuse my typing errors, the keyboard is acting up again. (Maybe I need a speech recognition software!)
Also, now that I\'ve seen the context, I think that using \"word\" would definitely be something to work with, Vixen agrees with that, I see. However, you would really have to check on copyrights, of course.
Again, thank you to all new and previous answerers!
First, the software is not necessarily for navigation systems in cars.
Second, I understand that my phrase as it is now sounds like a command rather than an enticing offer. I didn't suspect that, so thank you! Would it change anything if there were another word in place of "just", like "simply"?
I like the "speak to us and we'll do the rest", but the company isn't bent on customer support - I'm not sure it's the right message.
The simple "just say the word" could hit the nail on the head...
I get that "just say the word" might be a better alternative. Is that what those agrees mean?
I would appreciate more of the personal reactions/responses. Thanks!
Okay, I see where you are coming from. My intention is to say "your voice is all you need to get things done" or "just be your natural self, say a couple of words and everything will work like magic"
For a customer-support-intensive business, the slogan sounds quite apt! If you give some details of the nature of the business your company is / shall be involved in, may be it would help.
