But as speakers, this shift to the digital stage means we need to adapt our speaking skills to engage audiences through screens rather than in person. It's a whole new ballgame, and it's crucial to master the art of connecting with people virtually. After all, we want to keep our audience engaged and excited, just like we would on a physical stage.

What Should I Be Sending to an Event Planner as a Speaker? One of the most effective methods for securing bookings as a speaker is to take the initiative and reach out to meeting and event planners and make them aware of who you are and what you do. As I've said before, speaking is a numbers game. You need to be contacting these decision-makers every single day. The more people you speak to, the more bookings you'll secure. It's that simple. But how can you ensure that when you make contact, you do so in the RIGHT way? How can you make sure you're not wasting your precious time and maximizing the effectiveness of each proposal? That's what we're going to talk about today. But before we cover exactly what you need to include in your messages to planners, we will look at how to get the most out of your interactions.

The Power of Connection: How Success: Stories Can Build Trust With Your Audience and Boost Speaking Revenue Have you ever had a friend or close family member recommend a product or service? I've had a friend recommend a product or service on several occasions, and most of the time, I've gone on to purchase said product or service. Their success stories were all I needed to give them a try myself. I'm not alone, either. The stats show that when someone close to us recommends a brand, nine out of every ten of us are likely to trust that brand on that recommendation alone. That's the power of word-of-mouth marketing. The good news for you is that you can leverage the power of these so-called "success stories" as a speaker. Whether you sell products off the back of your speaking or offer services such as coaching or consulting, incorporating success stories into your talks and marketing materials will help you build the trust and connection with your audience you need to secure a sale. But how? What is it about success stories that makes them so powerful? And what the heck do I mean by success stories in the first place?

From Chaos to Cohesion: Mastering Unity in Your Speaker Marketing Those who've already worked with me will know that I firmly believe speakers are marketers first and speakers second. The problem is that many speakers, in their effort to be everywhere all at once, are a little all over the place. There's no UNITY in their marketing. However, to be successful as a speaker, you must ensure your content is on point and CONSISTENT across the board.

Start submitting proposals today! https://charlijane.com/call-for-speakers/ Show notes: While up on stage, there's no question that the content of your speech or presentation is important. However, what's even more vital is connecting with your audience. If you fail to establish a rapport with your audience, your message will be lost on them – regardless of how great it is. Enjoy the Podcast and if you have time, I would LOVE and really appreciate a review, this will really help me out :) Thank you so much! Keep Inspiring! Wendi CharliJane.com
