Public Speaking, Confidence, Storytelling, Selling, Personal Brand, Career Advancement: Be In Demand

Stuck on how to explain what you do without getting that glossed over look?

People are going to ask and what you say in an "elevator pitch" or marketing on your website is how others will be raving, remembering, and referring you on repeat.

If you’re wondering where your next client is coming from, don’t understand why everyone and their brother hasn’t hired you yet or you can’t remember the last time you had a sales call, keep reading.

In this episode I’m talking all about your messaging and how to explain what you do so that your audience understands. Seriously, sometimes you have to say the same thing is a variety of different ways until one of them lands perfectly. I’ll show you how to say the same thing in a variety of different ways so your calendar has sales calls again and your roster is full.

It's your messaging that will set. you apart and make you memorable.

Here’s a snippet of what you’ll hear in this episode:

• Start with the essence of what you do and working your way from that center point
• An exercise that helps you mind map different ways to explain what you do with finesse, so people understand you
• Using the quote, “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.”

Like it or not, you're speaking every day and therefore, you're already a speaker. 

When you hear about being a speaker what comes first into mind? Right, a person on a stage speaking to a large audience. 

In this episode of Be In Demand, we are going to redefine that. And why you as a business owner, as a salesperson, or even as a virtual assistant are already a speaker. 

Check out what you’ll learn:

1:11 Why your everyday job is a form of speaking and how it’ll help you boost your confidence.

6:20 The preconceived idea of speaking vs. what it really is

8:33 Speaking comes in many sizes, shapes, and forms. Your job is to identify where you’re already speaking. It’s time to redefine what speaking is for you, your career, your brand, and your business.

11:02 The benefit of knowing where you’re already speaking that you don’t perceive as speaking yet. 

Again, you're speaking whether you realize it or not all day and every single day so therefore you are a speaker.

If you’re like most people, you’ve got some beliefs that are actually conflicting each other. 

Thoughts and beliefs swirl around in the mind like a whirlpool. Our beliefs conflict and often contradict one another. They trigger another, creating confusing situations where you don’t know what to say or do next. 

Take for example what you think it takes to start leveraging speaking in your business to get known, seen as an authority and hired by your ideal clients. Maybe you’re waiting to be asked, waiting till enough time goes by or believe you have to work hard before using another tool like speaking.

PLUS, I’ll share a trick for noticing those pesky beliefs and how to change them to pull you forward.

Speaking is the most underutilized marketing tool.

The common practice is to build relationships one person at a time. But what if you were able to build relationships with a group of people, who are pre-qualified leads, through a speaking event?

Speaking is the most effective form of marketing that positions you as an expert and a person of authority in front of audiences who are pre-qualified leads for you.

How efficient would it be for your business growth to speak to people who could start following you on social media, join your email list, and get on a call with you and become clients.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How you can market your business with an effective strategy, so that you save time, money and energy.
• Leveraging other people’s audience (OPA) is a give and get for you and the host of that audience.
• Sharing your story builds that know, like and trust, so that you build relationships efficiently.

What most entrepreneurs don’t know is they can grow it with the right people in a very short span–as quick as one afternoon.

It all happened because of SPEAKING.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How speaking can grow your social networks and especially your email list with the right people who have a higher chance of becoming a paying client.
• The system that grows your email list through your speaking engagements.
• The free workshop that shows you the business benefits of speaking.
