Get Started Speaking & Get More Clients Fast

This article is for you if you've never spoken to an audience before or even if you're a seasoned speaker....let me tell you why.

Being in business for quite some time now I've discovered one of the easiest and fastest ways to get more clients is to get in front of many people at once and to be the expert.

There are many ways to do this however not just your typical stand up in front of a group of people and speak way. This is why this is good for everyone.

Because if you're already speaking live at events, small or large, in person, that's great. Are you making money at it? I'm not talking about getting paid to speak, that's the 'old model'. I'm talking about making money in the back of the room with your products, services, etc.; and lots of money, not just a couple hundred bucks selling your book or something.

If you're already doing that, great, then you want to next work on how to maximize your talks and opportunities more; you're probably missing out on thousands of dollars in sales and extra benefits you haven't thought of negotiating yet.

If that's all you're doing however, speaking live in person; then you're also missing out on huge opportunities to get in front of big audiences who will buy, there are many more ways to leverage yourself and speak in other ways.

Here are 6 ways you can speak to larger groups of people at once and possibly sell your stuff too:

1. Speaking in person at live events (obvious) - this includes local or not local chamber events, organizations, expos, conferences, business groups, etc.

2. Speaking as a guest on a teleclass or telesummit (these are becoming very popular and easy to find) - this includes your own teleclasses, other people's teleclasses, group membership teleclasses or training classes, summits with multi-speakers on them, etc.

3. Speaking as an expert at online virtual events - this is a new concept, many organizations are taking their conferences 'online' and making them accessible to their members who live anywhere who can login and watch from their home or office. In addition, many large workshops who bring in outside speakers are also going viral, they are streaming live during their event online for online attendees as well - some for free, some for a paid ticket.

4. Speaking on online radio shows - you can either have your own show which is very easy and affordable these days to do or you can be a guest on other people's shows (There are thousands of them online right now looking for good guests as I write this.)

5. Speaking in the media - you have all kinds of free publicity opportunities right in front of your nose with even just your local area TV and radio shows but you're most likely NOT taking advantage of them. The problem is that you don't know how to contact them or what to tell them you can offer that they'd want right? So get some help with that, that's one of the areas I teach; I get quite a bit of play in the media.

6. Speaking in random places such as a cruise ship - did you know that you can get a free cruise to wherever you want if you get chosen to speak on a cruise ship? I have many friends who've done this, they get to speak and build leads, make sales plus enjoy a nice vacation!

Now if you're reading this and saying to yourself "Yeah Kat, but I'm scared to speak in front of a group", then start with the teleclasses or online radio shows first to get your feet wet. You don't have to stand up in front of anyone and you can even write out what you want to say beforehand so you don't forget if you get nervous; no one will see your script or notes.

If you want more clients, you need to do some of this stuff - I do it all. If you're scared to speak, you need to learn so you can get better. Stop with the excuses and let's go!

It's simple, if you are ready to get serious about your business and put a real marketing and business Action Plan into place and learn EXACTLY how to do this as well as multiple other marketing strategies.
