5) What advice would you give to a junior associate at a law firm? 

6) Is there one resource you use over another when soliciting referrals from colleagues for outside counsel?

Developing new business seems awfully daunting for a lot of professional services firms and members. 

So, I want you to imagine this scenario:

You are given a room full of 20, 50, 100 prospects. People who are truly interested in what you do and what you have to say. You have their undivided attention and they’ve blocked an hour of their day to hear you educate them on something that could critically impact their business.

What that scenario is, is a speaking engagement.

In many years of coaching, the issue of mismanaged opportunities with speaking engagements comes up time and time again. 

So today, we will share a couple of tips, amongst the multitude of things you can do when booked to speak at a webinar, conference or CLE, to make it worth your while. 

These are tactics you should leverage before, during and after a presentation to get and stay engaged with that prospect pool.

Even if you’ve left that money on the table before, I’m going to help you secure it moving forward. 

To learn more about how our team can help you get the most out of your speaking engagements using these and many other tactics, visit society54.com and contact us today.
