When you’re trying to get booked, it can seem as though the promoter has all the power and hundreds of great speakers to choose from, but that’s not so!
The truth is that promoters have just as much of a challenge finding amazing people to speak at their venues as you do getting booked.
It’s like Match.com. We’ve got all these men and women who want to hook up and it’s just so hard to make the right connection. The same is true for you and promoters.
The promoters’ job is to book amazing speakers week after week, or month after month and their reputation is on the line every time. If they book a speaker who’s pitching hard and making everybody uncomfortable or who isn’t credible, who looks bad? They do.
So the next time you present yourself to a promoter, remember that they need you as much as you need them!
Think of yourself as their solution.
Your confidence will light you up and get you noticed.
And then when you are booked, be sure to deliver with a signature talk you love and amazing offers that sell.
If you do all that, you and the promoter will surely be a match — made in heaven.
