This week I’m talking about Why You Need A Planner Page on Your Speaker Website.

First and foremost, the answer is time. Event planners are busy people. They’ve got a lot of speakers to evaluate. Therefore, it makes total sense to have everything they need collected into one concise page that saves them searching all over your website for the information they’re looking for. 

So often, having a clear and compact planner page can make the difference when it comes to securing speaking gigs. Remember, you have to make it as easy as possible for them to book you. The planner page provides everything they need in one simple click. So make sure you get working on including a planner page if you haven’t already! 

If that’s you, you might be wondering what you need to include. Listen and as I talk about exactly that.

Dominate Your Speaker Space

This week I’m talking about dominating your speaker space. Fact: Building authority in your field is what it takes to get you bookings, clients and sales. If not enough people know you or understand what you offer, this means not enough people trust you, either. 

And without that trust, they won’t buy what you’re selling or invest in your programs.

Reminder: As I mentioned in this podcast the Charli Jane Speakers Club opens the door to new members April 8-13, 2021. We open the doors only 4 times a year.

Benefits are many but the ones our members love the best are:

Those of you who have been with me a long time know that one of my top priorities for you as a Speaker is that you determine your niche early on in your speaking career.

Listen in to today’s podcast on how you can redefine your niche.

How to Leverage Your Ebook into Paid Speaking Gigs

If you’ve been a long-time reader of my blog, then you’ll remember that I’ve told you before that writing an ebook is one of the easiest ways to gain yourself free publicity. And while free publicity is ALWAYS a good thing for speakers trying to grow their business, it’s not the same as paid speaking gigs booked into your diary. 

So with that in mind, I will talk about how to leverage your ebook into much more than an uptick in publicity.

This Week I’m Talking About 4 Effective Methods for Reaching Out to Planners

There is simply no getting around contacting event planners when finding opportunities to speak. Yes, you can revamp the planner page on your speaker website and other inbound marketing methods, but that takes time. You cannot take a "build it, and they will come" approach to landing speaking gigs. You need to go out there and grab them yourself. 

With that in mind, this podcast will give you a quick overview of four of the best methods (in my experience) of reaching out to planners that result in landing gigs.

This week, I’m doing a little celebrating as I release the 100th episode of my podcast.

Nothing inspires me more than my family, members, and followers. It all comes together in this episode, with a twist.

In this episode, an exceptional guest turns the tables and puts me in the hot seat for a candid chat about all things Charli Jane.

We talk about how I started my speaker support services business nearly 2 decades ago. I share the inspiration behind the business, what advice I’d give to my younger self just starting and share tips on building a sustainable business while helping others to reach their own goals and dreams of success.

We dig into remote work and how to thrive when working completely online, too.

When asked if I have any regrets, you just might be surprised at my answer.

Also, I share the one thing each and every one of you who is stuck trying to launch your own business can do today to get unstuck and move forward towards financial freedom.

Thank you all so much for being such loyal listeners and readers and for all of the support over the years.

Without you, Charli Jane Speakers wouldn’t be the blessing it is in my life and to my family. You are the reason I do what I do each and every day.

Show notes:

I often meet speakers that tell me they struggle to secure gigs. After doing a little more digging with them, the same issue always pops up, time after time. No one knows who they are. 

It’s not that they don’t have a good speaking website, or that they don’t have any published articles. It’s about the fact that they haven’t built any trust or credibility within their field. In other words, no one knows who they are or what they represent. 

While the obvious solution is to get more speaking engagements. It’s not so cut-and-dry. Many speakers get stuck in a vicious cycle of not being booked and therefore unable to build trust and authority. 

However, there is a way forward – being consistent. Consistency is absolutely key if you want to grow your speaking business.

6 Ways Speakers Can Make Money Without Charging a Speaking Fee

While building a speaking business is a great opportunity and career path, there's an unavoidable time and work investment to make it a reality. 

Only one in a million speakers will give one or two talks and suddenly become a viral sensation commanding tens of thousands of dollars for their speaking services. 

For the rest of us, there will be years of work, including speaking for free in the early stages to get your name out there. But budding speakers I work with are often shocked by how much money can be made without ever collecting a dime in speaking fees.

This Week I’m Talking About Direct Mail Campaigns to Help Grow Your Speaking Business

As many Charli Jane Members already know, I'm a huge advocate of direct mail campaigns for speakers looking to secure gigs. 

However, it's possible to choose a great strategy and still receive no leads. The reason? Poor execution. Carrying out an effective direct mail campaign is a process that has many components, and getting just one of them wrong can pull the whole thing apart.

The Power of Connection: How Success: Stories Can Build Trust With Your Audience and Boost Speaking Revenue

Have you ever had a friend or close family member recommend a product or service? I've had a friend recommend a product or service on several occasions, and most of the time, I've gone on to purchase said product or service.

Their success stories were all I needed to give them a try myself. 

I'm not alone, either. The stats show that when someone close to us recommends a brand, nine out of every ten of us are likely to trust that brand on that recommendation alone.

That's the power of word-of-mouth marketing.

The good news for you is that you can leverage the power of these so-called "success stories" as a speaker. 

Whether you sell products off the back of your speaking or offer services such as coaching or consulting, incorporating success stories into your talks and marketing materials will help you build the trust and connection with your audience you need to secure a sale.

But how? What is it about success stories that makes them so powerful? And what the heck do I mean by success stories in the first place? 

Listen in to this podcast, and I will tell you :)

Virtual Presentations: How to Adapt Your Speaking Skills for the Digital Stage

You've probably noticed that virtual presentations have become the new normal due to recent changes in how we live, work, and connect. And let's be honest. It's not all bad – we get to attend online events from the comfort of our homes and sometimes even in our pajamas!

But as speakers, this shift to the digital stage means we need to adapt our speaking skills to engage audiences through screens rather than in person.

It's a whole new ballgame, and it's crucial to master the art of connecting with people virtually. After all, we want to keep our audience engaged and excited, just like we would on a physical stage.

So, let's not waste any time and dive into the world of virtual presentations. Here are my top tips and pieces of advice for delivering a memorable performance.

As those of you who have worked with me will know, I’ve long advocated for the need for you to be everywhere, all the time.

Those who've already worked with me will know that I firmly believe speakers are marketers first and speakers second. The problem is that many speakers, in their effort to be everywhere all at once, are a little all over the place.

There's no UNITY in their marketing.

However, to be successful as a speaker, you must ensure your content is on point and CONSISTENT across the board.

Show notes:

Today I’m talking about Why Clarity Sells You As a Speaker.

There are plenty of aspects that I cover with the speakers I work with during the course of our time together. However, there is something I talk about right off the bat as soon as we sit down. So what’s that one thing we talk about right away? Clarity.

Clarity is often the difference-maker between a successful speaking business, and one that is busy but not making any money. I recently spoke about the importance of being consistent as a speaker. But without clarity, you can be consistently doing the wrong things. 

So what does clarity mean in the context of speaking? Listen in and learn.

Mastering Proposal Follow-ups: The Gentle Art of Persistence

Hey folks, let's talk about a scenario that might sound all too familiar to you. You've crafted a killer proposal, you've sent it off with a hopeful heart, and then... crickets. You're met with silence that seems to stretch on for eternity.

Frustrating, isn't it? Well, that's where mastering proposal follow-ups come into play.

But here's the catch: You don't want to come across as pushy or annoying, but you also don't want to be that speaker who just fades into the background. The art of persistence lies in striking the perfect balance. And believe me, it IS an art!

In this episode, I will explore how to strike the right balance, what to include in your follow-ups, and even look at a few tools to take the stress out of this process. 

So, are you ready to banish that radio silence and land more speaking gigs? Let's get to it!

What Should I Be Sending to an Event Planner as a Speaker?

One of the most effective methods for securing bookings as a speaker is to take the initiative and reach out to meeting and event planners and make them aware of who you are and what you do.

As I've said before, speaking is a numbers game. You need to be contacting these decision-makers every single day. The more people you speak to, the more bookings you'll secure. It's that simple. 

But how can you ensure that when you make contact, you do so in the RIGHT way? How can you make sure you're not wasting your precious time and maximizing the effectiveness of each proposal? 

That's what we're going to talk about today. But before we cover exactly what you need to include in your messages to planners, we will look at how to get the most out of your interactions.

Show notes:

The bottom line with testimonials is that they are one of the best ways to market yourself as a speaker. We all understand how powerful the recommendations of a friend, colleague, or family member are. When it comes to buying products and services, 92% of consumers say they trust word-of-mouth or recommendations from friends and family above all other forms of advertising.

That’s precisely what testimonials are – a recommendation. Given the influence recommendations hold, I think you’ll agree that building up a plentiful list of testimonials is a pretty powerful tool to have in your marketing belt. 

Testimonials also provide social proof that you have the credibility and authority to speak on your chosen subjects. The more testimonials you acquire, the more you begin to look like the expert in your sector you already know you are to planners and event organizers.

Yes, my friends, it's time to talk about money, or more specifically, the art of negotiating your speaking fee.

It's an intricate dance, a delicate balance of knowing your value, understanding the market, and asserting your worth without alienating potential clients. It's a skill every speaker should master, not just to increase earnings but also to set a precedent for future gigs.

So, let's dive in and navigate the tricky yet rewarding waters of fee negotiation together.

Show notes:

There’s no question that, to build a successful speaking business, you have to have charisma, excellent delivery, and a way of connecting with and engaging audiences every time you step out on that stage. 

However, while it’s vital to hone your speaking skills, they are, in a way, secondary to the ability to market yourself. Why? Because without effective marketing strategies, even the most talented speakers in the world would struggle to stay afloat in the competitive public speaking industry.

If you’re a little confused, stick with me, and I’ll explain why the success of your business depends on your marketing ability much more than your on-stage speaking talent.
