Speaker's 14-Day Challenge: Day 4- Getting Speaking Engagements

Here we are at day 4, and the participation is extraordinary. ?Thanks for the wonderful comments you?re leaving. ?It makes it exciting for me to pop in and film each day?s video when I know I?m ?lighting a fire in your belly? as Dawn Fry so beautifully put it.

One of the biggest mistakes I see speaker?s making consistently is not investing enough time and energy in building the relationships that will allow them to get BOOKED. ?Its not enough to be good on stage- people need to know what you do. ?And the only way I?ve ever really seen to work consistently ?to get those first few gigs is:

1. Having a relationships with a promoter (they LIKE and ADMIRE you)

2. Being recommended to a promoter (they LIKE and ADMIRE your friend or client who refers you)

Discover 2 of the key pillars you need to be developing to become attractive to event planners and promoters. And I?ll reveal my 5-step process for getting bookings.

Your Project For Today

1. Write down your target market

2. Where are they congregating in groups (brainstorm 50 places)

3. Create a plan to build trust and relationship with the people organising those events.
