Behind the Curtain: An Open Convo with a Buyer and a Bureau (ft. Tim Mathy & Lynne McNees)How do you find out what buyers and bureaus want in a speaker? You ask them.OPENING QUOTE:“That standing ovation, it's not about the speaker, it's not even about the audience to me. It's about the people planning the event. That's who that standing ovation is for.”-Tim MathyGUEST BIO:Lynne McNees is president of the International Spa Association, or ISPA — the worldwide professional organization for the entire spa industry active in over 70 countries.When magazines like the New York Times, USA Today, Travel and Leisure, or the Associated Press need a spa expert, Lynne is the only name they trust. Before joining ISPA, Lynne was a Washington DC power player with high-profile roles in multiple presidential administrations. It's no wonder she jumped into the industry designed to help people relax.Links:BioLinkedInTim Mathy is the current president of the International Association of Speaker Bureaus. He has been in the bureau space since he joined SpeakInc over 20 years ago, and since then he's been active with industry leaders like PCMA, MPI, IMX, and the list of acronyms goes on and on. If you want to know how bureaus work from the inside out, Tim is your guy.Links:BioCORE TOPICS + DETAILS:[8:49] - From Bureau to BuyerHow speakers go from Tim's list to Lynne's eventAfter working together for over 20 years, Tim and Lynne have a well-established bureau-buyer relationship. Tim says it all starts with knowing the buyer's community. He's not just picking the best speakers to present to Lynne, he's presenting the best speakers for her needs. For speakers, that means you don't have to generalize your message in order to meet every possible organization or subject. You can feel empowered to specialize, knowing that if your message is strong, you'll be able to find an audience that's right for it.[19:32] - What Gets You on the List?An inside look at what bureaus and buyers are looking forWhen it comes to what attracts Lynne or Tim to a speaker, they offer a clear list. First off, they're looking for the basics — customization and preparation, plus an easy-to-work-with attitude. They're also looking for a balance of inspiration and nuts-and-bolts takeaways, a business focus while also offering a humanitarian perspective. Consider these elements when preparing to pitch yourself to bureaus or buyers. Do you know how to strike that balance of uplifting and down-to-earth, business-centered and human? If you can find that sweet spot while remaining true to your character and message, you'll find opportunity.[20:28] - Changing Priorities in a Changing IndustryWhat's new when it comes to booking speakersLynne and Tim both explore the way that a speaker's primary purpose at a conference or event has evolved. It used to be that big-name speakers were a primary draw for industry conferences — you would go to the conference because so-and-so was going to be there. But today, these conferences have grown to attract attendees on their own. Now the speaker is less about a name and more about delivering actual value. Can you knock your keynote out of the park and leave the audience with relevant, actionable takeaways? If you can do that, it doesn't necessarily matter if you've got a megawatt name or massively impressive credentials.[27:08] - The Long GameAdvice from Tim and Lynne on looking forwardFor two people who have been working together in the speaking for decades, it's no surprise that Tim and Lynne advise playing the long game. Don't get bogged down in temporary setbacks or issues. Instead, focus on long-term strategy. What are the efforts that will be worthwhile no matter how the world changes? Focus on themAnd finally, all along the way there's one simple way to supercharge your career — be kind and trustworthy. “Once you have that trust,” Tim says, “you can't beat that.”RESOURCES:[1:54] About ISPA[2:46] About IASBFollow Lynne McNees:BioLinkedInFollow Tim Mathy:BioFollow Josh Linkner:FacebookLinkedInInstagramTwitterYouTubeABOUT MIC DROP:Hear from the world's top thought leaders and experts, sharing tipping point moments, strategies, and approaches that led to their speaking career success.

How much do you spend on looking after yourself each month? We all like to look and feel good, so it's nice to spend money on ourselves sometimes! You might spend your hard-earned cash on visiting the hairdresser, a gym membership or pampering yourself with a massage.你每个月花多少钱照顾自己？ 我们都喜欢看起来和感觉良好，所以有时花钱在自己身上很好！ 您可能会将辛苦赚来的钱花在理发店、健身房会员资格或享受按摩服务上。When it comes to hair and beauty, the average UK household spends just under 2% of their budget, according to personal finance experts, Nimble Fins. That's about £38 a month if you have an annual salary of £30,000. Areas that were looked at in their survey included toiletries, cosmetics, and related electrical appliances, like hairdryers.根据个人理财专家 Nimble Fins 的数据，在美发和美容方面，英国家庭的平均支出不到预算的 2%。 如果你的年薪为 30,000 英镑，那大约是每月 38 英镑。 他们调查的领域包括洗浴用品、化妆品和相关电器，如吹风机。However, it seems that some people spend much more than that. The booking app for all things aesthetic, Pamperbook, carried out a survey in 2022 of 900 UK salons and freelancers. The results found that female clients who use the app spend, on average, £1,000 per month. The survey showed that the most popular treatments were lashes and lip fillers, while customers frequently visited hair salons for a blow dry.然而，似乎有些人花的钱远不止于此。 2022 年，针对所有美学事物的预订应用程序 Pamperbook 对 900 家英国沙龙和自由职业者进行了一项调查。 结果发现，使用该应用程序的女性客户平均每月花费 1,000 英镑。 调查显示，最受欢迎的护理是睫毛和唇部填充物，而顾客经常去美发沙龙吹干头发。But it's not only women who spend money on beauty. Though men and women visit spas more or less equally, according to the International Spa Association, or ISPA, men spend more on treatments. A national survey in 2019 found that male participants spend more on massages and facials per year than women – £501 to £445. Garrett Mersberger, head of the ISPA, said: "Men are more aware that it's not just a thing I go to to get pampered. It's an actual lifestyle choice with benefits to my body, my wellness."但花钱美容的不只是女性。 根据国际水疗协会 (International Spa Association, ISPA) 的数据，尽管男性和女性去水疗中心的次数大致相同，但男性在治疗上的花费更多。 2019 年的一项全国调查发现，男性参与者每年在按摩和面部护理上的花费高于女性——501 英镑至 445 英镑。 ISPA 负责人 Garrett Mersberger 说：“男性更清楚，我去这不仅仅是为了得到宠爱。这是一种实际的生活方式选择，对我的身体和健康都有好处。”Whether you tend to spend money on these things or not, it can certainly feel good to treat yourself every now and then!无论您是否倾向于在这些东西上花钱，时不时地犒赏一下自己肯定会感觉很好！词汇表look after 护理，善待hairdresser 理发师gym membership 健身房会员pamper 精心护理massage 按摩toiletries 洗漱用品cosmetics 化妆品electrical appliance 电器hairdryer 吹风机aesthetic 美的salon 美容院，美发店client 客户，顾客lash 睫毛lip filler 丰唇blow dry 吹发spa 水疗中心treatment 护理facial 面部护理lifestyle choice 生活方式的选择wellness 健康treat 犒劳

Proactive public relations and strategic social media can help you increase visibility, which will help attract more ideal clients. Many entrepreneurs want to increase visibility because they struggle with being found online by their ideal clients. Fear is often the leading culprit holding people back from being forward-facing in their business. However, being visible, which is very specific to individuals, can make a significant difference in the level and rate at which you attract your soulmate clients. Think of it like a magnet. Your energy is going to attract the energy of the person who needs your help. But only if you are visible for them to find you. Entrepreneurs often attract people that are not a good fit, not their soulmate clients. Because they want to achieve success, they take on clients even though they are not ideal. The result is that they become frustrated. This happens because people aren't visible in a way that attracts their soulmate clients. Think of it like a magnet. Your energy attracts someone with a need, the other side of the magnet. When you are present as your authentic self and are visible to your potential clients, you will attract them. Parasocial relationships It is a scientific fact that when we show up with our face, we are able to build trust with the customers we want to work with. Parasocial relationships are when a person, a media user, engages with a media persona. This can happen with influencers, media personnel, celebrities, and even entrepreneurs. Learn more about how visibility influences parasocial relationships here. When we show our face online and explain what we do and talk about the problem we solve, our ideal customers who have the need we can solve, begin to trust us. An instant connection can be formed. Similarly, you can think of this as a trust-building exercise. Instead of shying away from your story share your failures to increase visibility Most female entrepreneurs shy away from sharing their failures. However, like Kendra Scott telling her story of the failed hat boutique, and then making jewelry in her spare bedroom, she has authentically connected with her clients. Failures are part of the journey and the story that can connect you with your ideal clients. Sharing the big picture, and the story of a very personal event builds trust. It helps people get to know you, like you, and trust you. Therefore, showing up on camera and being visible builds the final step of trust. People buy people not products and services. Strategies to increase visibility Proactive public relations (PR) is you going out and seeking PR opportunities instead of depending on opportunities coming to you, for example, HARO (help a reporter out). Using HARO is more of a reactive PR strategy. When it comes to proactive PR, it is about pitching yourself to the dream media outlets and sharing your authentic story. It also comes down to remembering that it's not about you. Yes, you should be true to yourself and tell your authentic story, but it isn't about you, it is about what the media outlets can gain by having you on their show or in their publication. What can you offer the media outlet that will bring their audiences in and cause them to appreciate the media outlet more? Media outlets want to gain and retain audiences. Anytime media outlets can respond to the cravings of their audiences, they are happy. When you provide them with exactly what their audience will learn from you, and you provide the answer that the media outlet wants to provide for their audience they will want to interview you. How can your story serve someone else? The answer is how you will build that connection with a media outlet. How do you get media outlets to respond to you so that you can increase visibility? First, you need to follow up at least three times. Allie suggests following up once a week. For example, international women's day is in March so in February Allie and her team began to reach out to local media outlets and say that Allie works with women and helps them become more visible and would like to be interviewed for international women's day. They started pitching in early February so therefore they had three weeks to follow up. Keep in mind that you want your topic to be timely. If something is happening on a national level, you can reach out to local media outlets and say that you know this is happening on a national level, but you are an expert and can speak to it on a local level. Once that story is old news, the media outlets will no longer be interested in it, therefore you must be timely with your pitches. The relations part of public relations comes into play when you follow reports and media personnel on social media. When they post about things that connect with you, comment and engage with them. If they are posting about their dog and you love dogs, have conversations with them about dogs. This strategy is not only important for building a relationship but so that when your name pops up in their email with your pitch, they recognize your name. It will stand out. You have two fields to grab the attention of the person you are pitching to. There are two opportunities to grab someone's attention when pitching by email. The first is the subject line and the second is your name. Thus the importance of engaging and building relationships so that your name is recognizable. Learn who is writing about the topics you want to be featured on and follow them. In addition, comment on their content to build name recognition. How to find media personnel and reporters to be featured to increase visibility with your ideal clients You can find this via Google, going back to the publication time and time again. There are contributors who write for multiple media outlets. You can also search for them on social media and Twitter. Learn more from the interviews with Michelle Glogovac in Episode 53 and Episode 122. Social media ties in here because it provides an opportunity to connect with others, build relationships, and build the know love and trust factor. PR is the same. The more you engage, the more recognizable and memorable you are. If you are able to step in and fill a void for information, they will remember you and come back to you. Relationship building is what really launches people. Strategic Social Media to increase visibility and attract soulmate clients Content pillars are the basis of any social media strategy. The idea of branding comes down to the rule of seven. People really do have to hear a message 7 times to remember it or take action on it. Therefore the idea of keeping your content pillars very simple, even down to the services your offer or testimonials from your clients, and repeating that same topic every month helps you get your social media planning down to minimal time. Having a social media strategy helps you explain who you are, what you do, and how you help them. Robyn gave a shout-out to Allison Scholes and Instagram Coach and content creator and how she helped her create her content pillar. Learn more about Instagram from Allison in Episode 132. When you plan ahead, you not only save yourself time and energy, but you also help your clients more and provide more value for them. Have an opinion and take a stand to increase visibility now and in the future When you have an opinion and take a stand, you get more attention on social media, and your visibility increases and grows. If you are willing to take a stand, you are saying things that others wish they had the strength to say or you are saying something that catches the attention of the opposing party and now they have something to talk about. If you are struggling to come up with content ideas or be visible, try taking a stand on a topic you are an expert in. This really opens up visibility opportunities in the future. It really comes down to being authentic and not worrying about offending others by sharing your beliefs and perspectives. Really own that version of you. The best way to do this is to adhere to your values. For more on pitching to the media and living by your values as your build, your personal brand listen to Episode 89 with Yvette Walker. When you own your values, are confident in them, and stand for who you are, everything becomes easy at that point. Nothing becomes a question, it's just who you are and how you feel.

Have you had a chance to experience a really, really nice hotel in your life? I'm talking about the absolute best customer service you have ever experienced! I am super lucky because I worked for the International SPA Association and would get to travel to some amazing properties! You can just tell as soon as you step foot into the property that has put in the time and attention into your time with them - the furniture and bedding are luxurious, the little details are not forgotten and the customer service isn't just good - it goes beyond what you would expect. I'm talking - delivering chocolate chip cookies and cold glasses of creamy milk to your room when you arrive, kind of hotel. I'm talking - they hear it is your anniversary and send up a bottle of champagne to your room, kind of hotel. I'm talking - when you go down to dine in the hotel restaurant they have your name printed on the menu, kind of hotel. Now, try traveling to a sub-par hotel after experiencing this 5 star + + property... Not only are you spoiled, but you appreciate that amazing property even more. You keep thinking about that amazing hotel that you once stayed at. Dreaming to be back there once again. Think of your business in the same manner. What little touches can you deliver to make your customer's journey with you a 5 star + + experience? No one else will compare and it will leave your client's remembering you fondly and eager to work with you again. Customer service is a very large chunk of how your clients will remember you - but the little touches, the thoughtful gestures, the personalization - they all play into their experience. How can you create a 5 star ++ experience? I hope you will get some good ideas from the guests I interviewed in this 11th season of Selfish. If you haven't yet, please leave me a review of the podcast. It is the best way for new listeners to find the podcast and it is becoming even more important for podcast hosts. I hope you enjoy!

“I start with the transformation and work backward. What happens when the customer experiences your brand?” Allie Martin has a holistic approach to brand building that she’s refined over the last decade. Through her work, she helps brands find “fame and fortune” and entrepreneurs get a little “selfish” with self-care. We discussed all of this and more on this week’s episode of the On Brand podcast. About Allie Martin Allie Hembree Martin is a veteran brand and communication strategist with 10+ years of experience and owns Fame and Fortune. Fame and Fortune helps brands share their messages through a host of public relations and marketing tools. Allie received her bachelor’s degree from Western Kentucky University in Broadcast Journalism and her Master’s in Business Administration from Midway University. In 2019, she was named Public Relations Society of America’s Rising Star. She formerly worked in public relations for Amazon, Alltech, Kendra Scott, and the International SPA Association. Allie produces and hosts a podcast called Selfish, a show dedicated to self-care for entrepreneurs. You can find her at IWantFameFortune.com. Episode Highlights Transformation-focused brand building. “I start with the transformation and work backward. What happens when the customer experiences your brand? People won’t remember what you say but they’ll always remember how you made them feel. To do this, you have to know your customer avatar.” How do you create a customer avatar? “What’s going to get their attention? What’s going to get them to stop the scroll? I like to create a vision board for customer personas or avatars.” As host of the Selfish podcast, I wanted to ask Allie about self-care for entrepreneurs. First, “self-care for entrepreneurs is different” than regular self-care. As an entrepreneur, you can’t always turn off your work at home. What’s one thing we can differently today on the topic of self-care? “One thing you can do is make self-care into one thing.” Allie noted that a big mistake we often make is being too generic when it comes to this topic. What brand has made Allie smile recently? Allie shared a story—driven by story—from the Kentucky Humane Society in Louisville. It made me want to adopt Ethan!

“The best marketers never lose sight of their customers.” As a brand builder with years of agency leadership experience, Peter Wilken has seen it all. From global brands to bootstrap basics, we discussed it all on this week’s episode of the On Brand podcast. About Peter Wilken Allie Hembree Martin is a veteran brand and communication strategist with 10+ years of experience and owns Fame and Fortune. Fame and Fortune helps brands share their messages through a host of public relations and marketing tools. Allie received her bachelor’s degree from Western Kentucky University in Broadcast Journalism and her Master’s in Business Administration from Midway University.

Allie produces and hosts a podcast called Selfish, a show dedicated to self-care for entrepreneurs. You can find her at IWantFameFortune.com. Episode Highlights In our crowded, distracted, digital world is there still a place for the 30-second ad? I don’t always start with ‘softball’ questions like this but I couldn’t resist this week with the Super Bowl on the horizon. “Yes,” says Peter adding, “There’s something wonderful about the discipline of the 30-second ad.” “Stop thinking about what you’re adding in and more about what you’re taking out,” Peter cautions, noting he sees many struggling with the same mistakes that businesses were struggling with 30 years ago. “Strategy is all about choice.” You have to make decisions on both message and media. “When you understand media you don’t get driven by it. You can end up spending all day feeding the beast.” What brand has made Peter smile recently? “My team—Southhampton FC!” Peter shared noting that British “football” (soccer to those of us stateside) is “about as tribal as you can get.” Specifically, he celebrated the smile he had over the recent win against rival Liverpool.

Show Notes Lawrence and I begin the show reminiscing about chocolates, or rather how I first remember meeting Lawrence after he took my step class at the Reebok Sports Club, as it was known at the time. After class he gave me the most delicious chocolate truffles, and so of course from the very beginning he held a special place in my heart. Lawrence shares how he got into fitness out of necessity because he was the fat kid from Philly. His Father died when he was 18 and when the doctor said "you're next," Lawrence decided to make some changes, including beginning to workout, which led him into his career of fitness and wellness. Lawrence obtained his ACE Gold certification and started teaching in college while he was also working on his masters in communication. After college and while teaching part-time, Lawrence worked for American Airlines teaching their emergency procedures, which was amazingly and coincidentally related to fitness and health and the beginning of diversifying his career, which is a running theme throughout our conversation. We talk further about the importance of having diversity within what we offer, regardless of our career, and also the importance of seeing yourself as a business, even if you love what you are doing. Passion is wonderful, but passion alone does not pay the bills. Lawrence gives us a fantastic exercise to do so that we can look at where we spend our time and how that input of time is related to our output of income. Take out a pen and paper. Put all that you do in terms of where you place your focus in a row at the top of the page. Underneath each row put all the tasks that are associated with that item. List how much time is spent in each column. At the bottom of each row write down how much that particular project adds income to your bank account. Notice if where you spend most of your time also brings in most of your revenue, or is at least moving you closer to building a profitable business. Depending on the results it may be time to reevaluate how and where you place your focus and spend your time. Lawrence talks about the importance of having great mentors. He also goes a step further and believes we all need two mentors, one who is in the industry that you are working in, and one outside of the industry. One leads the way on “what to do” and the other leads the way on “how to be.” He also talks about how to reframe failures and rejection, and that when we hear the word, “no” that the reframe of the meaning is, “not yet.” Lawrence invites us to look at movement being mandatory and exercise as being optional. It is this reframe that will help the fitness industry reach the people, who in the past, may have felt as though they “failed at exercise.” This way we can help open their ears by using the word movement over exercise, and also open their hearts to happiness. He believes that we also need to create compelling experiences instead of simply teaching classes and executing exercise. Lawrence goes onto say that it should be our goal to make everyone feel successful. That the “s of experiences” is not only to build a community, transcend exercise and make everyone feel challenged but most of all help them to feel successful. It is then people will return, tell their friends, and then we have built a community, or a tribe a tri-mmunity, a combination of tribe and community. Towards the end of our conversation, Lawrence shares that he has three philosophies that he has honed from working in fitness. 1. Never burn your bridges. 2. Love is always the answer. Never Jealousy. Never greed. Never backstabbing. Never unfriendly competition. Love is always going to be the answer. 3. Stay true to who you are inside and never sell out. Stay true to yourself and listen to your inner voice. Wise words for sure.

In this episode, Devi chats with Daniel Levin about “Connecting a Disconnected World.” Levin walked away from an opportunity to a billion dollar business that was a household name in order to hitchhike around the world to find happiness and inner peace. The people he met along his journey remind him a lot of the characters in his new book, The Mosaic. For most of his life, Levin felt different. He saw things differently than others and thought in ways that were unlike the ways of his peers. Though initially, he felt alone and isolated, this all changed when he started to use his vision to create new opportunities within the book industry. Time/Warner asked him to come to NY to start a Special Sales Division, but his choice was made for him when he found that his wife was dying of cancer. He spent the next 5 years taking care of her until she transitioned. It was his work, as Director of Business Development at Hay House, that catapulted the once boutique publisher into international recognition and also gave him notoriety. He created a new genre of product for an industry steeped in tradition, The Boxed Card Decks. These not only drew to the company's, NY Times Bestselling Authors but expanded the reach of the company to non-book store revenue as well. It became one of the fastest growing lines of product in the book industry. While he was there, Hay House grew from $3million a year in sales to $100million dollars a year in revenue. It was again his ability to see differently that brought huge success to Hay House. Later, he was brought in to work with the Government of Jamaica and corporations, such as Elizabeth Arden, The National Asian American Coalition, The International Spa Association, St. Regis, Willow Stream, Hard Rock, and Maroma seeking innovation. Suddenly, it was his ability to see differently that made him a sought out commodity. Again the key to his success was what he once thought was his biggest flaw, his ability to see differently. It makes sense then, that Levin, the author of The Mosaic, a fable about finding a connection would use the same magic that has taken him through life to write a story about seeing what we don’t see. He is the founder and creator of The Mosaic Process, a methodology of connection that he shares in keynote presentations and workshops with organizations. He is also the founder and creator of The BeKind2U 21 Consecutive Day Challenge. Levin is a rare blend of mystic and businessman whose keynote presentations and workshops help strengthen a company by creating real connections between people. He is a connectivity activist who works with government organizations, corporations, and businesses to improve the flow of how a group works together and the interactions people have with themselves and others. Sharing a message of unification, he is a sought-after speaker for groups whose focus is on improving connection and creating a stronger team. Devi and Danny discuss: Danny’s inspiring life journey Touching the heart of somebody Making a connection with each other Being aware of how to get to the end Practicing being kind to ourselves Putting self-care, self-love, and kindness at the top of your list Acknowledging the soul of someone Honoring the light inside of us Becoming vulnerable Allowing another person to empty themselves from pain and suffering Hearing each other’s story How you can say "no" with your mouth but you always say "yes" to your heart Thriving with a simple act of connection How to have a practice of immersion Doing what you came here to do Receiving what the world wants to give us Living your purpose Taking the time to know and do your purpose Appreciating the beauty of “mosaic” Knowing that our power comes through being connected to each other Building our “Mosaic” Connecting ourselves to other people Putting together broken pieces of glass to make it extraordinary  Connect with Daniel @ www.themosaiconline.com
