LIVE Workshop on Zoom
Thursday, February 22, 2024
1-4 pm Eastern
What you want to do:
- speak at higher-profile events and conferences
- get paid to speak
- raise your speaking fees
- have speaking invitations come to you
Who this is ideal for:
- women entrepreneurs & professionals who are speakers or want to do more speaking
- you want to learn where to find speaking opportunities
- you're not sure what to charge
Have you been asked to speak and have had one of these scenarios:
#1: The organization asks you for your speaking fee and you're not sure what to say.
#2: The organization says they don't have a budget and then you have to decide if you should speak for free or not.
#3: You quote a fee and the organization says 'yes' and now you're wondering if you charged too little.
You don't want to end up putting in a lot of work and not getting an ROI from your speaking engagements.
You want your speaking to have impact AND income.
This is what you're going to learn and work on in our Business of Speaking workshop.
Our mission is to develop more women thought leaders and prominent speakers. Speaking is one of the fastest, most impactful ways to build your credibility, your influence, your reach, and yes, your revenue.
The ROI of Working With Us
I learned how to reach out to companies and position myself as a paid speaker that they would want to bring in.
As a result of that outreach and updating my LinkedIn and website with what I learned, I have sent over $10,000 worth of speaking and training proposals.
At this moment, I have officially booked $4,000 and still in progress working out details with the others.
I applied for an out of state speaking opportunity, and whether I get it or not, I now have an understanding of what event organizers want and how to find those kind of opportunities, so that knowledge is so much more than just one event.
I'm evolving my business to include more ways for getting paid to speak. Before working with Speaking Your Brand, I had zero strategy for how to do this, whoever randomly asked invited me was my strategy, and it was usually unpaid. Now, I feel like I have the skillset and the confidence to make speaking a viable part of my revenue.
