At a speech the potential clients in the audience get to try you on for size. The audience can check you out to see if your ideas ring true for them.
Here are the top 10 places to turn your expertise into great business leads:
- Small-scale seminars and group consultations that you stage in your office or a complementary professional’s office (like attorney, accountant or bank)
- Public seminars that you or others promote
- In-house company workshops that you stage for corporations
- Local and national association meetings that need a keynote or breakout session speaker
- Radio and television shows looking for informative guests
- CEO peer group meetings that include a workshop speaker as part of the monthly program
- College courses and extended education programs for adult learners (including the Learning Annex)
- Public workshop companies that hire you to present their material
- Chamber of commerce educational events for members
- Teleseminars and Webinars that attract people regardless of where they work
Authors get invited to give speeches, which are one of the best ways to find potential clients. But where to speak?
