Please note that the date of this meeting has been changed to May 16. 

Professional speakers get business the hard way and the easy way. The hard way includes expensive advertising, costly promotions, and painstaking cold calls. The easy way involves strategically created products, fantastic referrals, and great speeches. Which way would you rather run your business – the easy way or the hard way?

Let’s face it, if you don’t have the right product in the speaking business, then you are missing out on direct sales from the product and indirect sales of speaking, training, and consulting that come from effective products.

How much money and business have you lost because you don’t have the right product or because you don’t have any product at all?

Learn the simple steps involved with pre-creation, development, market and selling products that will actually make you money. Even if you currently have product, find out how to make it more effective. Turn what you already have into fast revenue so you don’t have to work so hard for great results.

Attend this program and learn:

• The number one tool to help you figure out which product to create next.

• Exactly what type of product is best for you and your audience.

• How to create products quickly – even the dreaded “book.”

• Specific techniques to get your audiences to pay you to market to them!

• How much to charge for your products so you make big bucks.

• The four questions you must answer before creating any product.

• Tips on getting your audiences to buy again and again.

• Ways to leverage your products into more speaking engagements.

• How to double your next speaking revenue with one easy question.
