Limitless Life Experience Podcast
These are two of the questions I get more and more frequently: ‘Can I come and speak on your stage?’ and ‘How did you get that gig?’. So today I’m going to share with you what the biggest turn-offs are when people ask me if they can speak on my stages and what I have done to build up my speaking credibility and receive more invitations.
Highlights
- The first turn-off when it comes to asking if you can speak on someone’s stage – if they have no idea who you are and you just say ‘I’m going to be on your stage!’
- The second turn-off – if you don’t have a live speaking experience
- What can you do to get invitations on someone else’s stage, or to get a ‘yes’ when you pitch somebody to be on their stage?
- Practise talking and hone your stories
- Make the mindset shift
- Put on your own events
- Invest in other people’s programmes, go to their live events and keep in touch with them
- Get the video footage and photos of you speaking
- Write a book
- Be great at what you do
- Pick your friends and business buddies wisely and be authentic
- Share your successes and lessons in the groups you belong to, get noticed
- ‘Always be humble in your approach. The first question to ask is: “What's the process for applying to speak at your event?”.’
- ‘If you want to speak, then you need to speak. It's like if you want to write a book or be a writer, then you have to write.’
- ‘Create a speaker page on your website where you outline your key topics, what your experience is, what your specialities are.’
- ‘I knew at that point that live and in person had to be a part of my business model.’
- ‘As I've built my business, I have intentionally looked for people who are abundantly minded when it comes to their connections, and I have invested at a high level.’
