During a public speaking session, we are always promoting or selling a product or service in one way or the other. The more eyes you expose yourself to, the more leads you generate. It is, therefore, imperative to create a follow-up system to help you form strong networks with these leads. Prospects have to know you before they can decide if they can like you. Once they like you, they can decide if they will trust you. The system should be automated and able to survive the test of time, such as the emailing system. Join this conversation with Ely Delaney and learn these tips and much more.

Ely Delaney is the co-founder and lead trainer of Purple Knight Marketing & Your Marketing University, a marketing education company designed specifically to teach you how to take control of your marketing, online and offline.

Notable Quotes

• The best and easiest way to overcome public speaking fears is to shift how you communicate by understanding your public personality. You may thrive well in a dialogue type of interaction rather than in a lecture type. – Ely Delaney
• Speaking on stage gives you the advantage of generating more leads about the product you are promoting during a speech. – Philip Sessions.
• You need a follow-up system for your leads after a speaking session. Otherwise, you will never sell a substantial amount of product. – Ely Delaney.
• Prospects have to know you before they can decide if they can like you. Once they like you, that is when they can decide if they can trust you. Only doctors and nurses are the only people who can skip that process, but not an entrepreneur. – Ely Delaney.
