Speaker
Services Success Stories
Diana Olson DCColors@aol.com
I have spoken to groups on the
"Power of a Positive Presence" for over 20 years. In the beginning the speeches were very
successful, but then they were not drawing the clients that I wanted.
Recently, I took Heidi Parr's class
"Promote Your Business Through Speaking" through Speaker Services and had a follow-up 90 minute
private telephone session with Heidi.
The tips that she gave me were invaluable. I also, again, started giving a door prize and asking for an
Evaluation as I did many years ago.
In the first speech that I gave with
Heidi's support, I received about 50 evaluations. 40 of them were interested. Many made appointments and many more want to do so, later.

Thanks to you and Speaker Services, I
have been appointed to the Tom Bigler Endowed Chair in Media at Wilkes
University in Pennsylvania. Wilkes
initially contacted me to speak at the Tom Bigler High School Journalism
Conference in April, 2003.
Following a phone discussion with
conference director Dr. Andrea Frantz about my keynote topic, I received the
invitation to teach in the Department of Communications at Wilkes. This wonderful honor was totally
unexpected. Thank you, Susan, for
your encouragement and support over the years and for making it all possible.

TIPS and ADVICE
Don't wait. Get your audience's
attention right away with a jolt.
Bob Basso FunBobBasso@aol.com
Reversing The negative "I
talk-you listen" mindset is the key to all speaker's ability to win over
an audience. How? Simple.
1. Make an entrance through the
audience.
2. Ask a provocative question that requires instant feedback.
3. Create curiosity by holding up a package marked with a giant
question mark. "The heart and soul of my speech is inside this package. I'll give you hints throughout my
remarks and when you think you know what it is shout it out."
4. Dramatic demonstration of your topic. Call up two people and have them act out a
scenario that will be the basis of your speech.
5. Establish the audience's opinion on an important point in
your
presentation. "Show of hands
please. How many folks here believe etc.etc."

Creative Energy - Size Matters?
Janet Bernson thehealingartist@aol.com
I had expected 30 people to attend my
introductory Un-Masking the Soul®
workshop but only five showed up. Un-Masking® is a process I have
developed using interdisciplinary expressive arts (visual, writing, movement,
theatre, sound) as a means to explore and discover who we truly are. The introductory workshop is two hours
and jam packed with activity.
To say I was momentarily taken aback
by the group size is an understatement.
Face it, working with a few people is different than with a group which
requires a different sort of energy and I was prepared for that. But then I paused to look at the faces
of those who sat before me and feeling
my heart open and my inner critic shut
up, I realized that I had
an amazing opportunity to work more closely with each one of them.
As the evening progressed we were able
to deeply explore the masks and I witnessed my discomfort turn into
thankfulness and ease as I allowed myself to shift energy. Even better was hearing from each
of the five who, at workshop end, related their thanks for my giving them just
what they needed, even though they
were so few in number.

Gratis gig leads to free travel and
paid international seminars
Terry Braverman
http://speakerservices.com/fee/braverman.html
In the Spring I received a call from
Air Canada to give a presentation for their annual meeting of regional sales
directors. Since it was being sponsored by their local sales office, they did
not have the benefit of a budget from headquarters, so in lieu of my standard
fee, I was offered two round-trip, business class tickets anywhere Air Canada
flies in the world in exchange for a mere half-hour morning wake-up
presentation to 18 people. Included in the offer was the opportunity to have my
products (books & tapes) available for purchase. I obliged.
Afterward, I wrestled over where I
wanted to go--submerge myself in the mysteries of the ancient cultures of the
Far East, or revel in the exotic, sensual rhythms of Brazil? I concluded, why
not do both, since I have two passes available to me. Then I thought about the
possibility of speaking overseas, and connected with a seminar company based in
Hong Kong that decided to book me for seminars in Hong Kong and Manila as a
profit sharing venture (50/50).
Finally, (THANKS TO SUSAN at Speaker
Services!) I was hooked up with a woman who is just starting her own speaker services company in
Brazil, and she is looking to book me while I am there in April.
Morale of the story--plant a seed for
free and it propagates, carrying new seeds to unknown, faraway destinations!

You never know when someone is looking for you
Phyllis Cambria PartyPlansPlus@aol.com
I was recently hired as the National
Holiday Spokesperson for Louis Kemp Seafoods. When I asked their PR rep how she
found me, she said that she was looking for an event expert who could discuss
holiday celebrations. She saw my
name in a newspaper article and added me to the list of other event
professionals they were considering.
But when she began to research me, she found I had written a lot of
content for my site, as well as seeing my tips on dozens of other sites. That, along with my credibility as an
author with a major publisher, cinched it. They contacted me and we made a deal.
The fact is, even though I wasn't paid
for most of the content I've supplied for many sites, the money I am making
from my spokesperson arrangement more than made up for all the free writing I
had done to promote my name and ideas.
The moral of the story, I guess, is
that you never know when someone is looking for you, so be sure you're easy to
find and that you freely share your expertise. It may lead to someone wanting to pay you well for it.

Booklets as a revenue source with
or without a speaking assignment
Paulette Ensign
Paulette@tipsbooklets.com
Expand your sales and your company
presence by selling your tips booklets
to associations and corporations for
their conferences, whether you
are a speaker at the event or not.
Your booklet can be included in the
welcoming packet for each conference
attendee, or put at each place
setting of a meal. Both these
applications can help an association or
corporation increase *their* revenue
by having a sponsor purchase your
booklet, with your company imprinting
the sponsoring company's information on the booklet.
It's a great way for the sponsoring
company to participate in the
conference and leave some lasting
impact; the association makes some money by reselling your booklet to the
sponsor; the sale is usually larger than your back-of-room sales in a break-out
session; and your own expertise is
marketed by the association and sponsoring company, whether you were
ever physically at the conference or
not. Your speaking services will be
promoted to all who receive the
booklet, and the meeting planner will be a
hero to the sponsor, the association,
and while differentiating themselves.
____________________________
Offer to be available for
interviews the day before your presentation
Jacqueline Marcell j.marcell@cox.net
I offer that I can be available for
interviews the day before I give a presentation, to do any local radio &
television to help promote the event. I have order form flyers on
everyone’s seat, so if someone has to leave early they know how to order
my book. After I give a presentation,
I always ask my audience to send me an
email if they would like to receive further information that may be of interest
to them. I always ask for a quote of commendation from the client and for
referrals to others who may have an interest in dementia, and eldercare
awareness and reform.

3 Hot Tips To Make Your New Year's
Resolution Come True
Andres Lara TheCubanGuy masteryforlife@yahoo.com
1. Go Public: Those who say one thing and do
another are labeled unreliable, hypocritical and even inconsistent. Tell
everyone at home, work, gym, church, etc about your goal. The fear of being ill labeled or looked
at as inconsistent by those who think highly of you will psychologically
pressure you to follow through.
Daily tell 3 different people about your goal.
2. Don't Wait: Never wait for the right time, the right motivation, or the
right intuition. For they will
only come AFTER you have taken the initial step. Whether you are motivated or not, take one action daily
towards attaining the goal you wish to put off. Then motivation will follow.
3. Quitting Proof: The more you invest into something, the
harder it's to give up on it.
Invest more time, more energy, and if necessary, more capital towards
the realization of that which you are pursuing. The less you have to lose, the
easier it's to quit. Invest daily
towards the attainment of your goal.

Keynote for an audience of civilian
and military professionals
Kathryn Tull http://speakerservices.com/fee/tull_k.html
When in Germany recently to deliver
the Keynote for an audience of civilian and military professionals, I ended up
spending most of the night prior to the early morning speech dealing with a
family crisis back home in California. With the time difference, I was up
almost all night. I still had to appear, “bright eyed and bushy
tailed,” for my audience on two hours sleep. My dilemma was: what to do
with all my concern regarding my personal situation in front of the audience?
Solution: I used it. I worked the
incident and its related story directly into my topic; and it was a powerful,
illustrative example. Afterwards, many people told me how much they appreciated
my candor.

1. First impressions are essential; speaking engagements
are like first dates: always look great!
2. Practice your presentation in front of the mirror before
EVERY engagement, even if you're an "old pro"
3. Tailor your material to the specific demographics of each
audience
4. After preparing your material, review and add humor to hold
the audience's attention
5. Continue to study your field so that you are ALWAYS
THE expert
6. Know your material forwards, backwards, inside and out

Create profit from networking

80+ and still going strong, that is
Mr. Mel Kaufman. He is one of the
best teacher, speaker, trainers on not just how to Network but how to get
networking to really pay off. He
is quite a young minded fellow and I would recommend him to any group that is
looking to teach their people how to create profit from networking.

How do I decide what to keep and what to get
rid of?
Liz Davenport liz@orderfromchaos.com
The most frequently asked organizing questions is
" The answer to that is much simpler than you think. If it makes you feel good - keep
it. If it makes you feel
overwhelmed, guilty, inefficient or generally stressed out, then get rid of
it!
The average businessperson receives 190 pieces of
information each day. Face it, we
can't do it all! So why surround
yourself with (bury yourself under) things that you know you will never get
around to. You know the stuff I
mean. You have some of it on your
desk right now as you read this!
Just eliminate those tasks, phone calls, articles and requests as soon
as they arrive. If you can't just
toss it, try to get someone who enjoys that sort of thing to do it.
______________________
The Use of Humor in a Speech
Mike Moore mikemoore@speakforprofit.com
Everyone will acknowledge the value of
humor in a well prepared and delivered presentation. But not everyone can tell
a humorous story or joke effectively. How many times have you ever listened to
a speaker try to be funny and fall flat? Telling a funny story is a skill which
involves timing and confidence. If your timing is off you aren‚t able to
lead the audience to the punch line. If you lack confidence the story
won‚t flow from you. You will rush and falter as you try to present the
anecdote or joke.
Solution?
Start off using one liners. One liners
involve minimal timing, pacing and confidence on the part of the teller. I like
them because they can be easily inserted into your speech to illustrate a point
without taking too much of your time. They are also short and sweet and can be
relied upon to have a sharp impact on the audience.
Here is a favorite of mine that I use
within my talk on living life to the fullest.
Expecting life to treat you fairly
because you‚re a good person is like expecting a bull not to charge you
because you‚re a vegetarian.
This is short, crisp and always
results in laughter from the audience.
Start collecting funny one liners and
using them throughout your talks. The laughter they evoke will start giving you
the confidence to tell longer humorous stories.

Kill Publishing Industry
Myths
by Rennie Gabriel, CLU, CFP
http://speakerservices.com/free/gabriel_r.html
The publishing industry has an ironic beginning
and present. Back when Mark Twain and other early American writers were
creating their magic, there were no major publishing houses like those that
exist today. Most authors paid to have their own work published. Over the last
10 decades authors felt the only legitimate way to be published was through a
traditional publisher.
Fortunately the tide is shifting back to the past
and many authors realize they can self publish, or go to a subsidy press.
Unfortunately, many of these same authors miss the greatest opportunity for
creating income from their book. They think they have to sell thousands of
copies to make money. They are focusing on royalty income, and that’s the
least profitable part of earning money from a book.
Let’s kill some of the publishing industry
myths right now.
Look around you; Stephen Covey, Tony Robbins, John
Gray, Barbara Sher, Robert Allen,
Wayne Dyer and hundreds more, use the power of
being an author to grow their businesses. Some of them can write well, and many
of them can’t. Tony Robbins didn’t write either of his two best
selling books. He’s the author, but not the writer. He hired a writer to
put his message into the words that could be read easily and powerfully.
I hope you’re having fun with my bad
grammar, because I’m not a writer, but I make lots of money from my
books, and not from the royalty income! Books are the most powerful marketing
tools I know of. My publishing company has 18 titles in publication and my
authors make tens of thousands of dollars because of their book, but not necessarily from their book.
One example is a Realtor in Colorado. Ken wrote a
book about “buyer-agency.” It was designed to persuade people to
hire a buyer’s agent in the home-buying process and he gave some of his
books to local libraries. About a year later someone called Ken and requested
he show her some homes in his area. She bought a home through Ken, and also
sold a home through him. His commissions were $19,000 from someone who
wouldn’t even buy a copy of his book. What would you rather have; $19,000
of business income or a few dollars of royalty income?
Many authors think Print on Demand (POD) or Print
Quantity Needed (PQN) is okay for their first book. It is, unless they want
their books sold in bookstores. Most major stores will not take books printed
in this way. However, a PQN approach is a wonderful method to use for copies
sent out to get review comments.
There are other myths too, like the big publishers
put great public relations efforts behind all their books, or that book tours
and radio interviews make books profitable. If you’re interested in why
these are myths, feel free to send an email to me at Rennie@GabrielBooks.com
Rennie Gabriel, CFP is a UCLA Instructor, award winning author of
“Wealth On Any Income” and the owner of Gabriel Publications, a
publishing house with 17 titles specializing in consumer education. He can be

Ten
Questions To Ask Before You Decide
To Speak Professionally
by Vickie Sullivan http://www.sullivanspeaker.com
Professional speaking looks glamorous
and it is – for the hour or so that you’re in the spotlight.
What you have to do before and after those magical times in front of the
audience might be a rude awakening. Like show business, professional
speaking is a volatile industry that chews up and spits out talented experts on
a regular basis.
So you really want to be a professional
speaker? Here are ten questions to ask yourself before entering into the
fray.
1. Am I
willing to sell more than speak?
In this crowded marketplace, you have
to go out and GET the speaking engagements…and between celebrities and
free experts, that’s easier said than done. Be ready to spend more
time getting the invitations than you spend getting the applause.
2. Can I/have I
run a business?
If the answer is no, you could learn
about critical concepts such as “cash flow” the hard way. The
boring stuff – like financial statements, profit and loss reports, take
on new importance. Many speaking businesses experience peaks and valleys,
so don’t count on constant revenue. Only the savvy survive.
3. Am I OK with
investing at least $50,000 up front?
The bootstrapping days in the speaking
profession are over. Successful speakers know that it takes money to make
money, just like in any other business. In addition to a business’s
usual start-up expenses, be prepared to spend money up front for the tools
you’ll need for marketing: positioning and strategy, brochures,
demonstration video, websites, etc. Everything adds up – in a
hurry.
4. Can I work
well alone?
Speaking can be an isolating
career. Very few speakers have large offices and even fewer have water
coolers. Creating a network of peers is one of the best reasons to join
the National Speakers Association (NSA) (www.nsaspeaker.org) so you won’t feel “all alone out there.”
5. How will heavy
travel affect my personal life?
When your speaking business takes off,
it’s easy to let travel take over your schedule and, therefore, your
personal life. Unless your spouse wants to be a single parent, make sure
your speaking schedule doesn’t interfere with your marriage, your
parenting responsibilities, and your social life.
6. What other
kinds of skills do I need to have?
The days of running a
“pure” speaking business are also gone. You will need
multiple sources of income such as coaching, consulting, book sales, etc., to
make a profit. Speaking fees alone won’t cut it, nor will speakers
who can’t write, coach, or consult.
7. How much
am I willing to do pro bono?
Many speakers do lots of things to
promote their speaking business, including free speeches, free articles,
free…anything. Part of your marketing mix involves doing pro bono
work to get your program visible and talked about. Unless you are a
well-known celebrity, be prepared to give before you get.
8. Can my
network get me speaking opportunities?
Selecting speakers is a risky decision
so many buyers play it safe by sticking with pros they already know. If
your colleagues have seen you speak and like what you do, ask if they will
refer you to buyers when appropriate. These referrals might lead to breaks
that can build your business fast.
9. Am I
willing to invest in professional development?
Remember that old saying
“Lawyers who represent themselves have fools for clients?”
The same concept applies to speakers who consult and coach themselves.
The best speakers know they must continually work on their style, their stories
and their business strategy. And they don’t even try to do it
alone. Be ready to pay for expert help – acting classes,
performance coaching, business strategizing – on an ongoing basis.
Remember, you get what you pay for.
10. The most important
question of all: Am I really that good?
Buyers who hire professional speakers
have very high expectations. There’s no such thing as having an
“off day.” They expect professional speakers to have an
effortless presence, plus funny stories and provocative messages that
don’t come from best-selling books. If you don’t cut it, the
market will let you know in a hurry. (But not before you’ve spent
all that money on videos, websites, etc.)
Bottom line: The professional
speaking business is volatile, risky and oh so much fun. So fasten your
seat belt and get ready for a ride.

Feedback
is Brutal and Usually Accurate
excerpted from "Profitable
Seminars: 195 tips on Designing, Marketing and Delivering the Goods" by
Len Wood www.trainingshoppe.com.
Feedback is painful, especially for beginning presenters. But
it must be
solicited, if you want to become a
first class seminar provider. For my first
seminar, I developed a simple one page
written evaluation form. I passed it
out at the end of the program and was
somewhat bemused on the things people did with them. After furtively filling
them out, some turned them over and literally darted out of the room. Others
guardedly folded them in half or
quarters and slid them in the middle of the stack. Few said good by and
even fewer looked me in the eye as
they departed.
I knew my performance that day was not
sterling, but I didn't know just how
bad it was -- until I read the
reviews. I was devastated. Nothing escaped the participant‚s wrath, the seminar content, my delivery,
how I answered
questions and even the seminar
workbook. How could people be so
cruel?
Didn't they know I was considered an
expert on the topic? Didn't they
know how hard I had worked putting the program together? What did they expected
for a first time performance? Like a participant on the first Survivor's
Television Show, I felt like I just had been voted off the island by the Tribal
Council.
My reaction was defensive, but I
reconciled that it was my first time out of
the gates. Things would be better next
time I thought. I used a different
evaluation form for my second seminar
but again the comments were painful. Each one seemed to be like a dagger in the
heart. Unlike Survivor
participants, I realized that you
could be voted off the island more than
once.
Since changing the evaluation form
didn't seem to matter, I decided to
eliminate it from the program. Why
subject myself to this needless torture, I rhetorically asked? For the next two
seminars, I was relieved that I did not have to read those stinging
evaluations. While I had improved somewhat, it was not enough. I had given the
workshop four times, but I still stumbled through the program and participants
still avoided eye contact.
Fortunately, my wife June attended my
fifth seminar and made several
suggestions after it was over. Since I
couldn't employ the same approach I
used with the evaluation form, I was
compelled to listen to her. Actually,
she was very sensitive to my anguish,
and after giving some complements, she made several suggestions on things I
might do to fine tune my seminar. Her understanding approach worked. She
disarmed my biggest impediment, my ego!
While I still feel agony whenever a
negative criticism is made, I now view
criticisms as opportunities to
improve. Which brings up the critical point of
this chapter, you need to collect,
assess and use feedback to improve your
seminars. If you are not ready to deal
with feedback, you're not ready to give e seminars.
