π Hey there, fellow speakers and those aspiring to take the stage! π€
Let's get real for a minute. When you're in the game of building your name and reputation as a speaker, there are a few essential things you've got to wrap your head around. π§ π‘
1οΈβ£ Paid to Speak? You Bet! But Credentials Matter! π°πΌ
Yes, we all dream of those fat speaking fees rolling in, but hold on a sec! To get paid, you've got to have the credentials to back it up. Event hosts are investing in you, so make sure you're worth every cent they're shelling out. π€πΌ
2οΈβ£ Pay to Play: It's Not Always a Downer! πΈπ₯
Sometimes, you might be asked to pay to play. Don't panic! It's not a knock on your skills. Think of it as an opportunity to build your audience and increase your visibility. πποΈ
3οΈβ£ Pitching vs. List Building: Find That Sweet Spot! ππ
You might not always get the chance to pitch your services on someone else's stage, but here's the secret sauce: List building! Make it a win-win for both you and the platform. ππ
So, here's the million-dollar question: Are you the table or are you asking for a seat at the table? π½οΈπ
That's why I'm a big advocate for building your own platform. When you've got your own audience (aka your tribe), speaking opportunities come knocking at your door. π π₯
I'm all about giving my clients every chance to shine. If they're ready to speak, I've got the platforms for them to do just that. πποΈ
And guess what? If you're itching to generate consistent leads and sales for your business, I've got a golden nugget for you! Check out this training at www.CreateConsistentLeads.com ππ
So, speakers and future speakers, remember: You've got the power to make it happen. Be the table or grab that seatβit's your call! ππ
