- What is the problem you are solving?
- What insight do you offer them?
- Accelerate and shorten the path to success for your prospects
- Go to Google and find where your ideal prospects congregate
- Find a chapter meeting
- Visit the meeting and see if the right demographics attend
- Then reach out and let them know you just attended a meeting and ask to be considered
- Action words beat learning words in your presentation description
- Think about the outcomes, i.e. go into "resume mode" with action words
- "After this program your members will be able to boost, eliminate,..."
- Your sales will explode
- You'll get paid to generate leads and/or paid to speak
- Visibility. Credibility. Shareability.
- Be everywhere your prospects are
- Fish where the fish are
- Your mindset has to be to offer value and invite engagement to help
- Be of great service to your audience whether they take the next step or not
- The conversion process starts when you open your mouth
- You are building trust from the moment you step on stage
- You give proof with case studies, before-and-after, customer stories, etc.
- Weave customer stories into your lessons and teaching points to also help eliminate objections
- This is also social proof and shows that "the water is warm"
- Open your phone and book a call with your attendees as you stand by the stage
- Specificity is the key to success
- Make your "Active 20" list of associations or groups you'd like to speak to
- Google "conference, meeting, association, state conference" etc.
- Constantly refresh this action 20 list
- Make that initial outreach and make it all about them. Find a topic they haven't addressed that you do.
- When and what to charge
- Is this a lead-generation or an income-producing talk?
- If it's not your target market but you have a good message that can help them then charge
- If it's a target-rich conference then you can offer to waive your fee to get in front of the best people
- Your pricing is your positioning
- You need to be over $4,500 to be seen as a professional
- The sweet spot is between $5,000 to $10,000
- NYT Best-Selling authors are in the $20,000 range
