How to build your business and your bottom line through public speaking

Wednesday, March 25, 2009
8:30 am - 12:30 pm

Fee: AIIP members pay $175 for this half-day workshop (or $250 for both workshops); Non-members pay $215 for this half-day workshop (or $325 for both workshops)

Very few people started their information business because they love marketing, but we all have to find ways to effectively reach large numbers of prospective clients and generate word-of-mouth advertising. Public speaking is one of the most powerful ways to get your name out in front of prospects, establish your expertise, and create a new revenue stream.

This half-day workshop will give you the tools you need to build a portfolio of presentation topics, identify the best audiences to target, land speaking engagements that both generate revenue and build your client base, and leverage your speaking opportunities.

At the end of this half-day workshop, you will:   

• Create three presentation topics to pitch to prospective audiences.
• Focus your marketing efforts on the most-likely targets.
• Prepare a fabulous--not the typical--PowerPoint presentation.
• Use techniques to effectively follow up on and leverage your presentation contacts.
• Command a speaking fee that adequately compensates you for your time and expertise.
