How I Generated Over $70K from a Speaking Event:
Spinning My Wheels
Early on in my entrepreneurial career I hosted a lot of events. I lead some professional groups and was the president of an American Marketing Association chapter. While these events gave me exposure, they didn’t lead to significant business. The problem was I didn’t have a strategy or systems for leveraging these opportunities.
A New Strategy
Over the last few years, I’ve mentored with industry experts, attended trainings and have gone through rigorous certification processes to become a magnetic marketing advisor, business coach and enter-training speaker. These resources have helped me developed a solid system for turning opportunities into business growth gold mines.
For example, recently I was asked to speak at an event in Orlando. I knew there would be approximately 30 people at the event. Rather than attempting to sell my professional services at the event, I used a different strategy. I delivered a valuable presentation sharing some of my best insights and letting people get a sense of who I am as a person.
The Results
At the end of the event I made an offer for a special book package which included several strategic items. 20% of the people in the room bought the package. The people who bought the package went into our Amplified Business Growth System. A few of the buyers elevated to become clients and also referred additional new business. This strategy generated over $70K in sales attributed to the event! Much better than a stack of business cards.
This is not rocket science, however I see many business professionals speaking at events and not leveraging a strategy or systems to maximize the opportunity. For me, it’s not about how much money I can make, it’s about how many people I can help. When I help more people, I happen to make more money. Motives matter.
