To succeed in the speaking industry, you’ve got to be good at speaking, sure. But you also need to have a knack for branding. Owning your intellectual property is a huge part of success for speakers and nobody knows or does this better than Hall of Fame keynote speaker, Sally Hogshead. She’s a thought leader, dynamic speaker, New York Times bestselling author and a world-class creator of advertising. She’s so good that her advertising work has been on exhibit at the Smithsonian Museum of American History. If that’s not proof of someone’s success, I don’t know what is. If that wasn’t enough, Sally has been awarded the #1 Global Brand Guru in 2016 and 2019 and was inducted into the Word of Mouth Marketing Hall of Fame. After helping over a million people discover their personal brand, Sally is still blazing a trail for herself in the speaking industry and beyond. If you don’t know who Sally is yet, let me jog your memory. Speakers and meeting planners worldwide are familiar with a premise she created that has become somewhat of a speaking legacy and it consists of just five words: Different is better than better. Sally often introduces this research-backed premise to her audiences with a vividly told case study that combines intriguing insights, witty humor, and booze. You’ll hear this story on this episode of Standing Ovation where Sally graces the stage and shares how her Jägermeister story has aged like fine wine. Find out about: Sally’s Jägermeister story and why being different is better than better The hilarious origin story of Sally’s Jägermeister story Why you have to identify your advantages as a speaker and focus your presentation around it Why it’s futile to try to be ‘the speaker for all audiences’ What separates a great keynote speaker from a world-class keynote speaker How to use the proximity effect to create a bonding experience with the audience The importance of avoiding events that aren’t the right fit for you or your personal brand Quotes from the episode: “When we say something that’s slightly shocking and provocative, but it's also about to lead into a highly strategic story with a clear deliverable - It bonds you to the audience.” - @SallyHogshead (https://twitter.com/SallyHogshead) “The higher your fee goes, the more the client is basically buying an insurance policy.” - @SallyHogshead (https://twitter.com/SallyHogshead) “Just as you need to be a right fit for an audience, an audience needs to be a right fit for you.” - @SallyHogshead (https://twitter.com/SallyHogshead) Important Links & Mentions Sally’s website (sallyhogshead.com) (https://www.sallyhogshead.com/) How to Fascinate (howtofascinate.com) (http://howtofascinate.com/) Connect with Sally Hogshead Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/hogshead) LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/hogshead) Twitter (https://twitter.com/SallyHogshead) YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/user/SallyHogshead) Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/sallyhogshead/?hl=en) Please Support Our Show Sponsors: The sponsor of this episode is Content 10x (https://www.content10x.com/) , the content repurposing experts who have a unique service just for speakers called Talk 10x, where they transform your presentation into a suite of unique content to help spread your message.

We all know how beneficial word-of-mouth marketing is, yet only 1% of businesses have a word-of-mouth strategy. This is because many of us believe that being competent in our professions inspires people to talk about us and our businesses. Oh, if only this were true. Jay Baer, Hall of Fame speaker and author of the best-selling "Talk Triggers," explains how you can use talk triggers and other tactics to grow your speaking business. In this episode, you'll discover: The benefits of making an unconventional choice. How you build word-of-mouth by making a decision to do something different consistently. That competency does not create conversations. Ideas that will help any business, including your speaking business. How to differentiate yourself so meeting planners notice. How speaking benefits your consulting career and vice versa. The 3 things Jay would have done sooner. Jay's biggest suggestion that will help you grow your speaking business. Jay is the one of fewer than 200 living members of the Professional Speakers Hall of Fame, and has also been inducted into the Word of Mouth Marketing Hall of Fame. As a speaker, he has given hundreds of insightful, humorous presentations world-wide. Jay founded and runs Convince & Convert, a digital strategy consulting firm and has been an advisor to more than 700 companies, including 34 of the FORTUNE 500. He is the host of the popular Social Pros podcast, as well as the weekly Talk Triggers Show. On top of all of this — and a lot more — Jay is a New York Times best-selling author of six books, including his latest, “Talk Triggers,” which he wrote with Daniel Lemin.
Jay Baer, the author of the book, “Talk Triggers: The complete guide to creating customers with word of mouth,” joins Tim to talk about the power of word of mouth to sell products or services, increase awareness, educate the public and create a brand. Jay is a very popular keynote speaker, an inductee into the Word of Mouth Marketing Hall of Fame and the author of several books. https://traffic.libsyn.com/shapingopinion/Jay_Baer_and_Word_of_Mouth_auphonic.mp3 It’s a term you may hear every day. It’s just assumed you know what it means. Word of Mouth. Webster’s dictionary describes it as “oral, often inadvertent publicity.” What’s interesting about that definition is how the people at Webster saw fit to include the word “inadvertent” in the definition. When it comes to Word of Mouth dynamics, it’s just assumed that it’s inadvertent or unintentional. Many times, this is true but I’ve been in the PR business for decades and I’ve seen quite often how something that was spread through Word of Mouth was anything but inadvertent or unintentional. In this episode we talk with Jay Baer about the dynamics behind word of mouth publicity, hear some stories of some organizations doing it right, and how to harness it for yourself. Debt Collections Case Study Americollect is in the debt collection industry. At present there are roughly 8,000 collections firms in the U.S. The common practice is for debt collections agencies to call a debtor, cajole, threaten, coerce until they get money or not In 2017, consumers filed 84,500 complaints against collections agencies. Kenlyn Gretz worked for a debt collector making $4.25 per hour collecting unpaid medical debts. He worked his way up and bought the firm. Then he changed everything. He now has more than 250 employees because they embraced their tagline – “Ridiculously Nice.” Being ridiculously nice is a part of their culture. The theory – Just because they are a nonpayer today doesn’t mean they will be a nonpayer tomorrow. They can call a debtor one to four months later and they take the phone calls because Americollect was nice to them. Jay tells the story of Americollect’s win rate in the competitive marketplace and of one key statistic; and why 60 percent of Americollect’s employees were once debtors who Americollect was assigned to recover a debt and was so nice that the people decided to go work for the company. In this episode Jay talks about companies like The Cheesecake Factory and Air New Zealand which have their own means for creating buzz around their brand. And a unique and simple story of a California restaurant called Skip’s Kitchen. What they all have in common is they have their own “talk triggers” to generate word of mouth publicity. About Talk Triggers Word of mouth is directly responsible for 19% of all purchases, and influences as much as 90%. Every human on earth relies on word of mouth to make buying decisions. Yet even today, fewer than 1% of companies have an actual strategy for generating these crucial customer conversations. Talk Triggers provides that strategy in a compelling, relevant, timely book that can be put into practice immediately, by any business. The book includes: proprietary research into why and how customers talk; more than 30 detailed case studies of extraordinary results from Doubletree Hotels by Hilton, The Cheesecake Factory, Penn & Teller and dozens of delightful small and medium-sized businesses; and the 4-5-6 learning system for creating and activating talk triggers in your business.
