NSA-Las Vegas Chapter
PresentsImpact Building… Business Building:
Across-the-Board Ideas and Tools to Explode Your Impact!Sandy Geroux - 9:00 - 12:00
As speakers, we must not only educate our audiences, but move them to action by creating such high impact that they simply cannot fail to act. The question is how to create that level of impact so our audiences act… and our businesses grow.
The answer lies in the many non-traditional talents we possess, but often ignore, simply because we’re too busy to consider how to incorporate them. From gaining PR, to generating passive income, to booking more engagements, to enhancing your effectiveness and fulfillment as a speaker, to making warm (and even cold) calls easier – your unique and non-traditional talents are largely overlooked personal resources that can take your speaking career to new heights!
Use these elements to engage audiences, hold interest, fill breaks, revive energy levels after intense sessions – and allow attendees to have more fun as they connect with you on a more personal level. In addition, product sales generated by tapping into these talents can create a stream of passive income that allows you to profit, even when you’re not speaking.
Sandy will share creative processes and success strategies she’s used to:
- 1. Turn her talents into “hooks”, getting her foot in the door for full-fee engagements, high-dollar product pre-sales and book signings, even when they say they don’t pay speakers!
- 2. Become one of the few breakout presenters remembered (a.k.a. referred) at large conferences.
- 3. Position breakout programs as mini-keynotes in order to create the emotional impact (and therefore the product sales, recall and referrals) of keynote presentations.
- 4. Turn group mementos into promotional items – and vice versa.
- 5. Turn props and presentation elements into products, promotional items and group mementos.
In this program, Sandy will not just tell us how her unique talents are used in her programs, she will demonstrate them with several actual performances of those ideas in action… including one specially written for speaking professionals!
