Episode 133: Three Keys to Getting Booked to Speak – Conversions

Mar 27, 2023

When I say “conversion”, what do I mean? Conversion means turning a connection and a conversation into a booked speaking opportunity. If you tuned in to the first two parts of these keys to getting booked to speak, you’ll already know all about making connections and having conversations. If you haven’t listened to those episodes yet, please go back and do so. Now, let me ask you: How do you take the first two C’s – connections and conversations – and move them into conversions? That’s exactly what we’re going to discuss today, so keep listening.

 
During this episode, I share how to convert a conversation into a paid speaking engagement.

 

Highlights from this episode include:
  • What to do when you’re in a conversation
  • The importance of asking good questions
  • How to know if you’re the right speaker
  • Having a fee in mind every time you speak
We’ve reached the last key in booking speaking opportunities: conversions. I hope this mini series gives you more confidence about booking speaking opportunities. I’d love to hear which of these three keys helped you the most. Was it connecting, having conversations, or converting connections and conversations – and why?
I’d love it if y’all came to join the conversation in the Facebook group – Take the Stage Speakers and take a moment to share with us! If you aren’t on Facebook, find me on Instagram! I would love for you to share it with me.
