If you’re someone who dreads speaking and thinks it’s hard, BUT you want to grow your business…consider how speaking can take your business to the next level…fast!
And see if that doesn’t inspire you to give it a second look!
Know too, that as you become more confident in your expertise, you’ll be more comfortable sharing it with groups of people who need and want what you provide.
Because you know you’re serving them and improving their lives.
And after all, what is a group but just a collection of individuals you connect with…one at a time?
Here are the four ways speaking can help your business…IF you know how to use it effectively:
1. Positions you as an expert. You are instantly legitimate and credible when standing on a stage. The organizers saw you as expert and that’s why they invited you to talk. The audience members are there because they want access to your expertise. It’s your chance to share your message on a larger scale!
2. Gives you tremendous visibility. It moves you from the one-to-one model to the one-to-many model. This means your time is more leveraged.
3. Grows your list. Use proven techniques to add subscribers to your list and community.
4. Generates leads and sales. Depending on where you’re speaking, this is one of the most powerful ways to invite your audience to take the next step with you.

I agree Christine. Public Speaking is a fabulous business tool. I use these events to promote me as the professional I am, meet new folks, grow my network and lists and to discover business opportunities. Too many people do it just to create speaking revenue. This is so short sighted.
Thanks for your comment, Teddy, and sharing your experience.
Public speaking was not my forte at one point but the more opportunity I had to step in for others the easier it became. It empowers you to the next level of confidence and helps to develop new strategies for customer relations and new connections.
Thanks for your comment and sharing your experience with speaking…practice makes perfect! 😉
It’s wonderful you’ve been able to step into the opportunities it offers!
Is there any way I can help you?
Best,
Christine
