Practical Prospecting Day

Speaking is a great way to make a living but if your phone isn’t ringing and your inbox is empty, you may need to do something about it.

Our Practical Prospecting Day is a “get-it-done” day. We will be doing the work together on the day.

It will be a highly practical and interactive workshop delivered virtually via Zoom, underpinned with case studies, reusable templates, processes, supporting materials and advice. You will leave with prospects to contact after the workshop and a strategy and plan for how to approach them. (We’ll contact a few on the day too.)

How to get listed and booked (more often) by Speaker Bureaus

As a speaker, at some point you will consider working with Speaker Bureaus to help you grow your fees and your business. Speaker Bureaus can not only get you higher fees, but they can also get you booked by the right clients and take the admin off your shoulders. When the relationship works your business will really fly.

Sounds great, but how do you make it happen?
