Are You Motivational Speaker Material?

Have you ever been to a meeting or conference where there was a keynote speaker? When that speaker was finished, did you feel enthusiastic, energized, and confident--or--tired, bored and glad to get out of there. You have just witnessed the difference between a so-so speaker and one who gets paid big bucks for what he does. O yes, I mean 'BIG BUCKS'.

Public Speaking To Market Your Business - What's This Signature Speech Thing All About?

"Public speaking is a good way to market my business. Does anyone know what's the best way to do that?"

This is the same question I see posted all over the Internet by entrepreneurs in every kind of imaginable business. From massage therapists to house cleaners, from coaches to network marketers, everyone wants to know about putting together a speech. The good news is the word is out: public speaking is an efficient way to get new business. But the question remains: what's the most effective way to do that? And who's going to listen to me? And is this gonna cost me anything?

The answers may surprise you. I've been speaking in front of audiences for most of my life.

Since I've put together what I call my "Signature Speech," my business has sky-rocketed.

 

Advice for speakers and presenters - 7 ways to turn a free gig into a financial windfall

You've been asked to speak for an audience. However, the event organizer or meeting planner tells you they can't pay you. Your heart sinks knowing that speaking for free will cost you in the long run. You think of all the expenses you'll incur  gas, parking, photocopying materials, babysitter  and speaking for free means you won’t be reimbursed for these incidental costs.

Although a free gig can eat into your bottom line, you don't need to refuse it altogether. If you're still building your expertise, free gigs can help you to refine your message and try out new concepts on an eager audience.

How to Use Public Speaking to Attract Clients

When Robert Middleton moved his marketing consulting practice, Action Plan Marketing, to Palo Alto, California several years ago, he started his business from scratch. He had left his well-established client base several miles away and now had to find strategies to generate new clients.

Because Middleton had always spoken to promote his business, he turned to public speaking with a vengeance. He researched local organizations whose members comprised professional business owners, his target clientele. He called chambers of commerce, business groups and others likely to be interested in his three-hour marketing workshop.

Within a few months, Middleton had spoken at over a dozen organizations, establishing his reputation as a marketing expert for professional service firms. He quickly became a known entity, having personally introduced his business and credentials to hundreds of prospects.

Seated Presentations - don't be a sitting duck

At one time or another, your boss has probably said to you, "Don't get caught sitting down on this one." The problem is, many sales presentations are made while you're doing exactly that - sitting down.

It's more difficult to be impressive and in control when making a seated presentation than when standing, say Judy Stein and Marya Holcombe, principals of Strategic Communications, Inc., a consulting firm in New Haven, Conn. They believe sales people who don't adjust their delivery style inadvertently put themselves in the hot seat.

Fortunately, the problem is easily remedied with a few simple modifications. Here's what Stein and Holcombe suggest:
