SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS: GOING THROUGH THE BACK DOOR
Vickie Sullivan
Are you tired of calling associations and organizations for speaking engagements? Would you like to know that you1ve got the engagement before writing your program proposal?
This teleclass will focus on how to "go around the system" to get speaking engagements without all the usual cold calling and blind proposals to some faceless committee. This action-packed session will feature real-world strategies that have been market-tested and are effective.
Areas to be covered include:
1. Why the standard system of speaker selection is designed to keep you out.
2. Common "side door" approaches that work every time.
3. How to find "hidden" opportunities to speak.
4. The most under-utilized avenue for speaking engagements. (and every market has them.)
5. How to create speaking engagements where none existed before.
6. What "hot buttons" do most committees look for in speaker proposals.
