Speaking isn’t just about sharing your ideas or expertise. It’s one of the most effective ways to build credibility, attract clients, open doors to partnerships, and become the person people think of when they need a product or service.
The most successful speakers go beyond giving a great presentation. They have a strategy that starts long before they step on stage and continues long after the applause dies down.
In this webinar, you’ll learn how to use every speaking engagement as a business development opportunity without sounding salesy, smarmy or turning your presentation into a pitch. Most speaker training focuses on giving a better presentation. This webinar is about getting better business results from the presentations you’re already giving.
We’ll explore what successful speakers do…
Before you speak:
– Choose audiences most likely to become customers, partners, or advocates.
– Position themselves as an expert or thought leader – and the answer might be different than you expect
While you speak:
– Mention products and services without undermining their credibility.
– Give audiences a compelling reason to stay connected after the presentation.
After you speak:
– Follow up with organizers and attendees in ways that create long-term relationships.
– Turn one speaking engagement into referrals, repeat invitations, and new business opportunities.
Whether you’re a consultant, coach, founder, executive, author or entrepreneur, you’ll leave with practical, unexpected strategies you can use at your very next speaking engagement.
Innovation Women offers an Entrepreneur membership, designed to support owners, founders and leaders who want to use speaking to grow their businesses. The comprehensive offering marries an Innovation Women membership with a Lioness Magazine premium membership that includes additional benefits such as coworking sessions, pitch and publishing opportunities, inclusion in roundup articles and more.
