Less Shrink: Without the stress of a long ride in the global supply chain, our stems are superior in quality with much less breakage and far better hydration. Less Labor: Our growers do all the work of a studio assistant, stripping stems and making fresh cuts on stems that go directly into water and never leave a water source. This means you do not have to process anything! Less Trash: There are no boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, box straps, plastic sleeves, and all the other usual trash that comes with a flower delivery from the traditional wholesaler. More Inspiration:  Designing with the seasons sparks creativity.  No two weeks are the same.  More Community:  Workign with local growers is a very personal connection.  You'll grow your community every time you buy local.

Are you an event company owner aiming to scale your business and acquire more clients? If you're currently struggling to reach your goals, you're not alone. In this podcast, we'll dive into practical strategies that can help you boost your client acquisition and drive sustainable growth. The Challenge: Moving from 20 to 50 Clients Recently, I had a conversation with Mr. Joseph, an event company owner who was looking to increase his client base from an average of 20 clients per year to a target of 50. He had tried various methods, including social media campaigns, direct sales within his church, and even hiring a prospecting company. However, he wasn't seeing the desired results. Diagnosing the Issues Let's break down the challenges Mr. Joseph faced and how we addressed them: Social Media Missteps: * Mr. Joseph had run social media ads for two years, but they weren't converting. * The Problem: His ads directed users to his general Instagram page, lacking a specific call to action. * The Solution: Directing ads to a dedicated landing page or specific post with clear conversion goals. A good landing page provides information, answers questions, and guides the user to the next step (e.g., email signup, WhatsApp message). Corporate Client Acquisition: * His attempts to secure corporate clients in Lagos using email proposals yielded minimal success. * The Problem: Relying on a single channel (email) and sending unsolicited proposals. * The Solution: Implementing an account-based marketing (ABM) strategy. This involves: * A multi-channel approach (email, phone, SMS, WhatsApp). * Researching key decision-makers (marketing, events, HR). * Building relationships through value-added interactions. * Example: researching money point, and discovering their event schedule, and then researching the specific people within the company that would be in charge of those events. Effort vs. Scaling vs. Strategy: * It is important to understand the different levels of business problems. * The first level is problems that can be solved by effort. Just doing more of the right things. * The second level is problems that are solved by scaling. Creating sustainable systems. * The third level is problems that are solved by strategic considerations. Practical Tips for Growth Here are some actionable steps you can take to enhance your event business: Optimize Your Social Media Strategy: * Create targeted landing pages for your ads. * Use clear calls to action. * Engage with your audience regularly. Implement Account-Based Marketing (ABM): * Identify key target companies. * Research decision-makers. * Use a multi-channel approach. * Focus on building relationships. Leverage Research Tools: * Use Google and LinkedIn to find contact information. * Research company events and needs. * Use tools like Google Gemini to find relevant information. Provide Value-Added Interactions: * Offer insights and solutions. * Show genuine interest in your clients' goals. * Ask questions about their event strategy. Taking the Next Step Mr. Joseph's journey highlights the importance of strategic thinking and adaptable marketing strategies. By addressing the root causes of his challenges and implementing targeted solutions, he's well on his way to achieving his growth goals. Remember, business growth is a process. By focusing on effort, scaling, and strategic considerations, you can overcome obstacles and build a thriving event company.

Deciding if you should start an event business can be overwhelming, but you're not alone! Check out these 5 Fresh Tips to help you decide if starting an event business is right for you with Melissa Cossette, Event Strategist, Coach for new business launchers in the events industry, and Founder of MAXevent.You can learn more about Melissa Cossette on her Fresh Starts Profile.5 Fresh Tips to help you decide to start an event planning business:Picture the life you want to wake up to one year from now and beyond. Pause and get really specific: What does success look like for you? How do you want to spend your days? Who are you working with, and what kind of events are you planning? The truth is, we all want financial success and flexibility, but without a clear vision that's tied to your deeper purpose, it can be hard to stay motivated when things get tough. Once you have this vision, it becomes your North Star, guiding your decisions and keeping you focused on the future you're building.Take an honest look at your time, energy, and life commitments. Are you easing into this new venture by taking on a few events while keeping your day job? Or are you diving head-first, ready to fully commit to your dreams? Building an event business isn't an overnight process, and it has to work within the realities of your life. Setting realistic expectations about how much time and energy you can devote now will help you build a sustainable business without burning out or sacrificing what's most important to you.Three: Evaluate your financial stability and resources. Starting any business requires both time and financial flexibility. In the early stages, cash flow can be unpredictable, so it's important to have a safety net in place. Ideally, this means at least six months' worth of savings or other financial support to cover both your personal and business expenses. This isn't just about surviving the slow times—it's about giving yourself the breathing room to invest in your business and set yourself up for long-term success.Four: Identify your specific niche in the events industry. It's tempting to want to plan all sorts of events for all sorts of clients. But trying to appeal to everyone will only dilute your impact. Instead, focus on what you love most about events, and hone in on what you're uniquely good at. Maybe it's crafting stylish micro-weddings, or maybe it's curating unforgettable milestone celebrations that reflect your client's story. Identifying a clear niche not only helps you stand out, but also makes it easier for the best clients to find you.Test your concept through conversations. Once you have a clear vision for your business offering, start sharing it. Everywhere. Talk to people in your circle — friends, family, and yes, even potential clients, even though you might not feel ready. Pay attention to their reactions. Do they get excited? Do they ask follow-up questions? Just as important, notice how you feel. Are you energized when you describe your vision, or do you feel unsure? These conversations are an incredible tool for refining your ideas and validating your concept, so embrace feedback—it's all part of the process.Make sure to check out Fresh Starts Registry: the first and only divorce registry and resource platform, and the fastest growing network of divorce professionals: https://www.freshstartsregistry.com/ Instagram:

Today, Eric shares invaluable insights on delegation and personal development, both crucial areas of concern for business owners within our industry aiming to grow their enterprises and refine their management skills.  Join us as Eric dives into these two essential aspects, offering practical advice on delegating tasks efficiently and investing in your personal growth for sustained business success. The Benefits of Delegation Eric recounts how handling every project on his own in his early business days led to burnout and stagnation and hindered the scalability of his business. After hiring help, he saw how all his daily tasks could get done successfully without his constant involvement. That shift allowed him more time to focus on his strengths and strategic activities.  Mindset Eric advises business owners to change their mindsets regarding delegation. He firmly believes that even if others only perform the necessary tasks at 80% of their capability, it will still meet all the customer requirements, allowing the owner more time to spend on higher-value tasks. Lifelong Learning Eric believes continuous learning is crucial for business owners to stay relevant in a dynamic business environment. He highlights the importance of continually learning by sharing a story from his academic days, where a professor explained that graduating was just the beginning of lifelong learning.  Investing in Personal Development  Eric has noticed how many individuals in the meetings and events industry neglect their personal development. He believes that may be partly due to the culture of receiving free services and opportunities within the industry. He points out that investing in their personal growth through ongoing learning and development will allow business owners to remain adaptable and innovative in an ever-evolving business market. Coaching, Mentoring, and Educational Programs Eric encourages business owners to proactively invest in personal growth through coaching, mentoring, and educational programs. By dedicating time and resources to their personal development, they can better adapt to future challenges and opportunities. Conclusion Eric encourages all business owners to embrace the principles of delegation and personal development, as they can significantly improve their business operations and personal lives.

Do you love doing weddings and events but hate all of the business minutiae? There's so much more to running a successful business than just doing the events. There's the administration, project management, following up on leads, and following up with couples and customers after the sale and before the event. With staffing being so difficult these days, many businesses, including mine, have looked to using Virtual Assistants to fill the void.

Jenn Foster and Melanie Johnson co-owners of Elite Online Publishing, interview Neil Mirchandani about what it takes to run a successful event decor company and the challenges that come with it. What You'll Learn in this Episode: How to create processes in your business. How to find unique ways to market your business. How to change your mindset to find success. Quotes: "The most important thing is to create processes above anything else, above sales, above trying to do marketing. It's probably the most important thing. And the reason is because if you have no processes in place, chaos is just inevitable." (06:07) "It's actually a challenge for us to market because over time we learn that we're really more in the wholesale business than in the retail business. We can't be out there and really loud about what we're doing based on the number of NDAs, and so over time, we as a team realized that we are really not in the retail business to the end client." (09:54) "But the reality is that I still don't feel like we've even reached close to our potential. There is just so much potential in our business and it takes a while to get outta the mindset that you can't start, extracting money from the business." (14:38) About Neil Mirchandani: Neil Mirchandani is at the helm of LLL Event Furnishings & Rentals, a multimillion-dollar event furnishing company located in Atlanta, GA - the entertainment industry hub of the South. From being a DJ to becoming the top provider for films and music videos, Mirchandani has even had some of his company's pieces featured on the popular Netflix dating show, 'Love is Blind,' while also being a part of the infamous Atlanta nightlife scene. Under Mirchandani's leadership, LLL Event Furnishings & Rentals has managed to secure notable clientele, and the company's growth prospects are looking bright, all thanks to the efficient organization and systems he has implemented. The company's success formula lies in the availability they provide to their clients, which is crucial in the rental industry where timeliness and uncertainty can be major challenges. Mirchandani's expertise and leadership have played a vital role in the company's success, and being readily available for clients has helped build trust, making LLL Event Furnishings & Rentals a highly trusted and sought-after event furnishing company.

His hustle never sleeps it seems. A starter of things. I met Gary some 5-6 years back at one of the BBQ and Brews festivals. With the Georgia BBQ Association. He has the bbq lifestyle with his festivals and bbq vendors that work at his many events throughout the year. Some 40+ on the books for this year. Yes 40, he is aware there's only 52 Weeks in a year, so he says…. Find out what he thinks is wrong with bbq competitions, and some of his thoughts on how to fix them. Many great tidbits if you're considering bbq events as a course of employment. It's all fun and games til it isn't. Controlled chaos with this redneck PT Barnum is where he shines the brightest, if you've seen him in Action you know. When he's not throwing some of the biggest bbq festivals; Gary moonlights as a wrestling promoter and fight promotor as he owns Southern Honor Wrestling & Elev8 Fight League. Plus the T-Shirt business; oh; and he's still preaching every Sunday morning! To those of us that say we don't have time to accomplish our goals; Gary calls BS. While we had just a short chat, he opened my eyes to what could be in life if we got up just an hour earlier stayed up just an hour later and made just one more move in BBQ. Where you would be. I'm inspired, I know you will be too. Let me know what you thought of the episode, and follow along for future episodes coming WEEKLY.

When races grow from scratch, particularly as passion projects, there often comes a time where growth grinds to a halt. Participation seems to gradually plateau around a few hundred participants and any progress beyond that seems impossible. So, how do you break through this resistance point to grow a race from the hundreds to the thousands? What changes should you make to your team and event to take your growth to the next level? And how do you manage this next stage of growth while avoiding the pitfalls that come with growing too fast?That's what we'll be discussing today with my guest, Glass City Marathon race director, Clint McCormick.

In this episode, Mark Baratto sits down with Event & Brand Partner expert, Brandie Weaver. We talk about how she started out in the event business in Oklahoma and how she took a career step backwards to take 10 steps forward. More on Brandie Weaver I eat, sleep, and breathe brand partnerships and events! I fell in love working with brands 15 years ago and since then I have sold over 4 million dollars in brand partnerships. I learned quickly that using different strategies, than the multi-million dollar event companies, was my key to success. I don't believe in a cookie-cutter strategy and brands love working with me because I put myself in their shoes and problem solve my way through building strategies that equal results. Event Marketing, Brand Partnerships, and B2B Collaborations have changed tremendously in the past five years. Working with me will ensure you are always ahead of the curve to give you that edge you need to make your partnership and the relationship last beyond your next event.

Bernhard Keller ist Geschäftsführer der Momanda GmbH und leitet Dr. Joe Dispenza Deutschland. Geschäftsführer der Momanda GmbH Was war der entscheidende Schritt für den Erfolg von Momanda? Ich glaube, es ist entscheidend, das man etwas mit dem Herzen trägt. Ich persönlich könnte kein Projekt machen, hinter dem ich nicht stehe. Der andere Punkt ist unternehmerisches Geschick. Man muss im Marketing und im Online-Marketing gut sein. Auch darf ich im Event-Business und als Verleger fit sein. Es sind viele Qualifikationen erforderlich, die diesen Erfolg dann bringen. Wie kamst Du zu Dr. Joe Dispenza? Dr. Joe Dispenza habe ich 2013 bei einem Frühstück in London kennengelernt. Welche Werte setzt Du in Deinem Business um? Klarheit ist für mich in meinem Business sehr wichtig. Ich tue was ich sage und ich sage, was sich tue. Ich stehe zu meinen Aussagen. Was ist Dein Leitmotiv? Ich glaube, Du bekommst immer nur die Energie, die Aufmerksamkeit oder den Erfolg, den Du auch bereit bist zu tragen. Magst du mehr über Tom Mögele erzählen? Tom Mögele habe ich vor 4 Jahren kennengelernt. Er hat mit Mindflow ein sehr gutes Konzept geschaffen, persönliche Blockaden aufzulösen. Wir starten in kürze einen neuen Kurs der sich Time Traveller nennt. Dort arbeiten wir mit vergangenen Leben. Jede Blockade ist eine gespeicherte Energie, die gelebt und umgesetzt werden möchte.

In this episode, we talk about becoming and showing up as an expert in the events industry. The traditional route towards becoming and being recognised as an expert is spending a lifetime in the industry or earning numerous relevant certifications along the way. But the traditional method takes a long time and is impractical for the new event stylist who wants to enter the events space as a top player. That's why we believe anyone can be an expert, as long as they're credible and bring their A-game every time they show up. What You'll Learn: - How to show up as an expert - How to build trust around your personal brand - Why giving mediocre and generic tips to prospects is not the way to go - Building authority in your niche - The journey towards building a credible brand  - How experts respectfully say no to some clients - The power of constantly showing up  - How to help your customer pick you Remember, for most of your clients, this is going to be the first and maybe the only time they'll ever need an events stylist. So, in their confusion, it would be best if you led them down the right path, even if it means highlighting that you may not be the right fit for a particular project.  Resources:  - Get our FREE guide on how to make money instantly in your events business https://bit.ly/balloonsmeanbusiness   - Connect with Katherine Lyndon https://www.instagram.com/dressyourdaydream/  - Connect with Michelle Lemmer https://www.instagram.com/theventsclique 

Today, we will cover practical strategies on how to make a profit in your event styling business.

In this episode, we are talking about setting up your event styling business for success. To succeed in the current competitive business climate, you need to be a fast learner, be flexible, and have good planning and organisational skills. Many people start an event styling business thinking that they'll simply open their doors or turn on their computers and begin making money. But it's rarely that straightforward.  What You'll Learn: - Why you need to clearly define what success means to you -Don't be in a rush to achieve success - Why you should never stop learning - How to overcome the shiny objects syndrome - Where to get support from like-minded people - How you can guarantee quality in everything that you do - The benefits of outsourcing for your business Success is every event planner's dream. But, having the right mindset is critical. If you picture yourself as someone who will one day succeed, then success will be a lot easier to achieve.  Resources:  - Get our FREE guide on how to make money instantly in your events business https://bit.ly/balloonsmeanbusiness   - Connect with Katherine Lyndon https://www.instagram.com/dressyourdaydream/  - Connect with Michelle Lemmer https://www.instagram.com/theventsclique 

In this episode, we'll go through the process of turning your side hustle into a full-time event planning business. If you find yourself working in the events industry in your spare time and are thinking about turning your side hustle into a full-time business, we've got good news for you. It's all possible, as long as you put in the work, thoroughly prepare for what's coming and just keep showing up.  What You'll Learn: - How to turn your side hustle into a full-time business - Where and how to get more clients for your business - Why you need to start small but think big  - The benefits of working hard and believing in yourself - How to cultivate a success mindset - The value of appropriate pricing - The tasks you should outsource if you're short on time or lacking in skills - How to become a freelance event planner The reality of transitioning your side hustle into your main business is that you have to be incredibly good at time management. As you learn the ropes of running a full-time business, you're probably always going to be short on time. And so sacrifices are very important at this stage in time.  Resources: - Get our FREE guide on how to make money instantly in your events business https://bit.ly/balloonsmeanbusiness   - Connect with Katherine Lyndon https://www.instagram.com/dressyourdaydream/  - Connect with Michelle Lemmer https://www.instagram.com/theventsclique

"Often at a big company there's not that culture of trying new ideas. But if you imbrace innovation, fail fast during the effort and you learn from it, that could be the next great big success. So it's really, really important from a cultural perspective to think more entrepreneurial, to take more risks and then to celebrate those successes along with those failures.".... Marc Simon on The ModGolf Podcast https://files.fireside.fm/file/fireside-uploads/images/1/1ea879c1-a4a2-4e10-bea4-e5d8368a3c7a/UGhuS9z5.jpg Click on the image below to check out our extended conversation with Marc on our Youtube Channel (https://youtu.be/lP4efwFgamE)!

"COVIID forced us to be more entrepreneurial while a lot of times big corporations are not. We definitely had to think fast and we definitely had to take a lot more risk and not be afraid to fail." PGA of America and PGA Golf Exhibitions Provide Update on 2022 In-Person PGA Show Enhancements PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla.

Attendees will enter to a full-scale golf activation area featuring a PGA Frisco 2022 Opening preview; “Make Golf Your Thing” campaign programming; PGA Professional coaching demonstrations; golf industry programs; a PGA Professional lounge; PGA Career Services and activations for Association initiatives and business partners. • Reimagining the Equipment Test Center to feature technology enhancements on the indoor driving range, while relocating the practice putting green and the former short game test area nearby the Equipment Test Center to create one centralized golf product testing and experiential space. • Emphasizing clubfitting education during the event's traditional demo day, in partnership with PGA Magazine.  Clubfitting programming, education, vendors and range-side content will be added, and the event will move forward with the new name of PGA Show Demo and Fitting Day, the world's largest professional demo and fitting education event. • Re-organizing educational offerings, in partnership with the PGA of America and the Association of Golf Merchandisers, to prioritize PGA Professional and golf buyer time with exhibitors during Show floor hours. The 2022 educational programs will be scheduled with less overlap during Show Floor hours, and most Show Week education programs will be available virtually after the event. • Implementing enhanced sustainability measures with the host facility and service vendors, reducing the Show's carbon footprint, and highlighting industry and exhibitor sustainability initiatives. - Relocating the fashion buyer lounge, and the annual fashion show, to a more prominent Apparel Hall setting for easy access to peer meetings and networking. • Enhancing technology access on site and integrating digital platforms to positively impact product discovery, testing and purchasing, educational access, registration and planning/logistics. • Continuing the focus on health and well-being practices during all PGA Show Week events. Exhibitor participation is on track with the 2020 in-person PGA Show and media partners of the PGA Show and the PGA of America are set to return to the PGA Show Floor. Additionally, attendees can expect a return of popular PGA Show partners, pavilions, and programming, including the AGM Golf Retail Conference, NGCOA Golf Business Conference, PGA Member Business Center, New Product Zone, Inventors Spotlight exhibitor pavilion, live fashion show, golf travel pavilion, Adaptive Golf Center and the TPI Golf Fitness, Wellness & Instruction pavilion and stage.

It’s no secret that I absolutely LOVE video and it’s completely changed the trajectory of my business. But I also know that a lot of wedding pros just don’t know where to start with it and the very thought of getting in front of a camera sends them running for the hills.Well it’s time to get over all that. Why? Because video is key in helping you to build that all important know, like, trust factor. There’s something about actually seeing someone versus looking at an image they’ve posted that just allows you to connect on a deeper level, more than any other medium. If a picture is worth a thousand words a video is worth a million. And the statistics don’t lie. Video outperforms every other social media platform. Your ideal client is consuming more video than anything else. Especially at the moment during the time of Covid. And platforms like FB and IG prioritise native video content over everything else. Plus, YouTube is the second biggest search engine in the world – I arrest my case.So it’s time for some lights, camera and lipstick as I show you how to get visible with video.Here's what you'll learn:Why video is THE medium to use right now to connect with your couplesWhere and how to share your videos7 easy content ideas you can use to create video for your wedding businessThe importance of using video on your Thank You PagesHow to use video FAQs on social media to get more engagementWhy storytelling is more important than anything else in your video

With a degree in accounting, it seemed like Michelle had her career laid out for her when she began working in the corporate world at companies like Deloitte and Coach. It wasn't until she started a stationery business in 2004 that she discovered what many already knew at the time: The events industry was chock full of incredibly talented creatives, but few had the business experience to truly understand the strategy behind running a sustainable company. After spending a few years immersed in the industry, Michelle started a blog in 2009 aimed at educating fellow event professionals in the business of weddings.   Sage Wedding Pros quickly took off as it was one of the first B2B resources specifically tailored to creatives who wanted to become better entrepreneurs. Since then, her business has developed into a consultancy and she now works one-on-one with event pros to adjust and redefine their business strategies.   Sage Wedding Pros also hosts an annual Be Sage Conference, which welcomes creative entrepreneurs from around the world for a weeklong mastermind on all things business. Michelle was named one of the Top 1000 Event Professionals by BizBash Magazine in 2019. Her thought leadership has carried over to her professional speaking circuit, where she has been asked to speak at numerous national conferences including The Special Event, WeddingWire World, NACE Experience, POSH Retreat, ABC, and BizBash Live, as well as local chapter meetings for WIPA and ILEA. She is also a regular contributor to Wedding Business Magazine and has been featured on Planners Lounge, WeddingIQ, Aisle Planner, and countless other industry publications.   You will hear all about Michelle's incredible career journey and she will also be sharing her expert advice on 'The Amazon Effect –  How to Shift Your Event Business to the Demands of Today's Consumer.' We will finish up with 'What She Wishes Other Creatives Knew' and her 'Confetti Hour Confession.'   Featured Guest: Michelle Loretta of Sage Wedding Pros   Website: www.sageweddingpros.com   Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/SageWeddingPros   Instagram: @SageWeddingPros     Courses & Tools: https://sageweddingpros.com/small-business-online-courses-tools/     Free Cashflow Worksheet: https://sageweddingpros.com/2020/04/free-cashflow-plan-worksheet-for-event-businesses/     Hire Michelle to speak on The Amazon Effect: https://sageweddingpros.com/wedding-industry-speaker/     -   Thank you to our Sponsor!     Happily Ever Expo | Happily Ever Expo is offering a virtual expo where you can pre-record your pitch and will connect you with potential clients!

"I remember well 25 years ago when the Northridge Earthquake tore through the West Valley, many thought we would never recover and the Valley would become a ghost town. I spent years working on the recovery and businesses did bounce back. Although times are tough, we can and we will get through this pandemic, too."

You've probably had the experience of meeting somebody from your past and saying, "I'm glad we're not together anymore." That's how I feel about producing live events. At least right now. There was a time when I was hot and heavy into producing and promoting live events – I've done HUNDREDS since starting my business in 1995. And even in the best of conditions, it's always a gamble. I had a college professor who had been in this business. He told me there was no greater rush than having a successful event, but no quicker way to lose money than having one fail. He wasn't kidding. In This Episode: A high-ticket event with a lot of money on the line A high-volume event with a lot of people coming A business where you got a big percentage of your money via public speaking Having 70% of your income vanish overnight – POOF! Have a live event coming up? You have options. Working with live event promoters during this time The best thing you can do is you're a speaker (or otherwise performing) at a live event Links To Things We Talk About: Terry Weaver The Thing Help Your Expert Friends Reach More People...

The tectonic plates on which the events industry sits have shifted in recent weeks in a way never previously experienced. Evolution of the entire sector is inevitable, and while many gatherings have been cancelled or postponed, others have gone virtual. Now more than ever we all need community. We need the valuable education and accelerated industry developments that can only be facilitated by coming together. So, how can we pivot our event businesses to bring greater value in these critical times? Full show notes: https://eventmartech.com/pivoting-your-event-business/

O’Reilly closes its event business, Microsoft has a font of exploits, the power of Folding@Home, and Storj Labs decentralizes cloud storage. Rich Stroffolino and Tom Hollingsworth discuss all this and more on the Gestalt IT Rundown this week, with special guest Stephen Foskett.

Starting one successful business doesn't necessarily make it easier to start another one. However, experienced entrepreneurs are more likely to be successful the second time around simply because they know how to push forward until they start to reach their goals, even if it takes longer than anticipated. In part two of our interview with Claudia Chan we discuss what gave her the idea of starting a women's empowerment company and why this business was more challenging to build from the ground up than the business she started in her mid twenties. We learn the importance of having a right hand man or woman from the onset and how Claudia was able to recruit this type of talent in the very early days of her company to make sure that she was executing on her goals. As the business grew SHE Summit started to attract people from over 100 organizations and to date it has had over 600 speakers while reaching tens of thousands of people through the conference and hundreds of thousands of people remotely. Claudia also talks about how this created an even bigger opportunity to build a leadership program for organizations that are interested in prioritizing diversity and inclusion and why it's so important to show others how leadership opportunities can be accessible to anyone that actively pursues them.

Before Claudia Chan was even 30 years old, she was already running a 7-Figure women's entertainment business in New York City. How did this first time entrepreneur accomplish so much, so quickly?It was through that own-your-own-destiny mentality that Claudia's parents ingrained in her from a young age that she was able to have the confidence to think of herself as a born entrepreneur even as a teenager. Always keeping her eyes open for opportunities, Claudia spotted her first business idea while working for a dot com startup in the early 2000's, when companies were spending thousands on event and party sponsorships. In part one of our conversation with Claudia Chan we talked about how she got to revenue with that business before even quitting her job, why she decided to partner with someone else who had an existing party business in NYC and how that led to millions in revenue in a few short years. We also discuss how she used the lessons learned from that first business to start S.H.E Globl, which puts on one of the biggest women's empowerment summits in the world.

In this episode, we discuss the Top 4 Event Business models – and how you REALLY make money from events. PLUS, if you’re a speaker, Ryan shares the BEST way to stand out and get hired – even if you’re not well known!  When I first heard Ryan Deiss on live stage a few years ago, he blew my mind – before that, I didn’t know ANYTHING about digital marketing. He’s the one who introduced me to the power of online stages, and he’s been a valuable mentor in my business. As someone who’s been running his own events for a whopping 10 years, Ryan is THE person to learn from! Ryan Deiss is a bestselling author, founder, and CEO of DigitalMarketer.com and Founder and Managing Partner of RivalBrands.com and plattr.com. Ryan is the creator of the “Customer Value Optimization” methodology and has introduced and popularized many of the digital selling strategies that modern companies now take for granted. Ryan is also the founder and host of the Traffic & Conversion Summit, the largest digital marketing conversion conference in North America. We also cover: The #1 sentence that will win you a stage The 8 things he looks for in a speaker (you NEED to know these!) The harsh reality of the exorbitant costs that come with running your own events The easiest thing you can SELL at a live event A fallacy most meeting planners believe when running their own events (note: this is especially true if you’re just getting started) Why you should NOT rely on ticket sales to make a profit at an event The two primary revenue streams for live events The three primary “event models” Ryan has discovered, and the business model that comes along for each of them (note: this includes a fourth “bonus” event model Ryan discovered by accident, which is a hybrid of two of them)  How to run an event in a way to keep the sponsors happy (note: sponsors often pay $10-30k for a single booth at an event) The dangers of running events at union hotels (note: this caused Ryan to lose over $200k from one event because of this) Best practices on how to structure your content while you’re on stage, including an example of a featured speaker When to share your biography on stage The most important thing about the first 2 minutes of your talk And much more!   [CLICK HERE TO SEE ALL RESOURCES]   Quick Episode Summary: 3:53 Welcome Ryan to the greenroom! 4:12 Who is Ryan? 7:43 What made Ryan continue to do events 8:05 The easiest thing to sell at an event 9:34 Making events profitable 15:12 The four types of events 20:19 The best accident 23:35 How to make money on events 25:25 Selling Traffic and Conversion 27:03 The biggest mistakes Ryan has made 32:32 How speakers can catch Ryan's attention 37:30 Ryan's honest speaker feedback 40:05 The most important minutes of your talk 41:52 The speakers who have impacted Ryan the most 44:06 Ryan's favorite up-and-coming speakers 46:18 Why live events are still important 47:07 Ryan's favorite moment inside a greenroom 49:08 Finial thoughts with Ryan 50:15 My biggest takeaways Connect with Ryan: Facebook trafficandconversionsummit.com LinkedIn 12 Women in Marketing to Watch out Forb- Digital Marketer
