It is better to be in the front of the room speaking than in the back of the room listening! Why? When you are the speaker, you open the door wide to new, wonderful contacts that can quickly lead to new clients and a more thriving business. There are many important reasons why you want to become a sought after speaker today. Here are just a few:
Become Recognized as an Expert in Your Field
When your name is listed to promote and event and you are speaking on a topic, you are considered the expert on that topic. The more potential clients become aware that you are an expert, the more likely they are to do business with you and give you referrals.
Meet More People Faster
Speaking gives several people an opportunity to get to know you in a short period of time. An audience of forty people will meet you all at once. This is a lot better then having to take time for forty individual conversations to determine who is the best client match for you.
Build a Better List, Better and Faster
When you speak to a group, you begin to build a relationship with people in the audience. When you present do a drawing and give something away. If they give you their email address you are building your list. This is one of your key objectives as a business owner: Always be building your list.
Create New Opportunities
Speaking provides a variety of new opportunities and allows you to expand your sphere of influence, meet other speakers, get interviewed for radio and give even more speeches.
More Clients, Contracts and Commissions
If you are presenting to an audience full of your ideal clients, have a strong delivery and give a high-content speech, you will come home with at least one new client every time you speak. Sometimes you will find you are adding several clients in an afternoon.
Speaking is the faster, easiest and, I believe, the best way to make your business thrive! Start today to become a sought after speaker.
