Any public speakers here?

Looking for advice on getting over my fear of public speaking. I'm in sales so I'm pretty outgoing. I'm comfortable leading informal group sessions but when I have to give a talk behind a podium or just be in the front of a large group of people, I suffer the usual anxiety attack symptoms. I'm pretty sure that even the most seasoned public speaker still get the butterflies but they make it look so easy. I'm going to join Toastmasters Int'l. Do you have any secrets you can impart?

I sell to a largely female customer base so picturing my audience naked doesn't work. I just get wood.
