In a recent blog, I shared my secret formula for making sure that the introduction your host reads before you get up onstage to speak conveys to the audience the strong impression that you are an expert with proven results who can be trusted to deliver.
Here are two more important tips for making sure that your audience sees you as credible:
Tip 1: Always Bring a Copy of your Host Introduction with You
You can write a fantastic introduction, but if the busy host misplaces it the day of the event and gets up there and wings it, all your effort was in vain. So, before you go on, ask the emcee if he or she has your introduction, and, if not, hand it over. (This will separate you from the speaker pack and get you noticed.)
Tip 2: Adjust Your Opening Remarks as Necessary
If the emcee botches your intro (it happens!), think fast, because you need to convey the credibility that was supposed to have been established during your introduction. You could do this by mentioning that your business broke the six or seven-figure mark or that you never thought when you started that you’d have more than 200 people in your mentorship program.
