Show Notes: 11 Things Great Speakers Do Differently #7 - Only Ask For Business IF You Are a Good Fit

This strategy might seem counterintuitive, but in the long run, it is better to turn down an engagement that is not a good fit for you rather than lie and pretend it is a good fit.

When you are honest about what you speak about and how you best serve clients, you will often discover the organization:

• Has other opportunities for you that are a better fit
• Will invite you to speak the following year
• Will refer you to other organizations

If you are not a good fit for an engagement, a great way to serve the organization is to recommend another speaker who is a better fit.
