How do I find more speaking gigs?

This is the number one question that I get all the time for speakers.

Speakers are looking for the magic bullet to find those gigs and to find them without doing the ONE thing that makes the biggest difference to your speaking business: building relationships.

On the Rebel speaker, we are very fortunate because we have David Fisher here. He is a speaker but he is also an expert on building relationships and how we do leverage our relationships to book more speaking gigs or get more sales.

In this interview David and I talk about:

• How to find speaking gigs when you’re just starting out
• A LinkedIN strategy for networking and finding speaking opportunities
• How to start building relationships with an organization where you would like to speak
• Should you hire a speakers bureau to help you get the gig
• Why once you’ve landed the speaking gig and delivered the goods, you’re relationship has only just begun
