Hosts and promoters want to know that you are ready to step onto their stage, so before you start approaching them for speaking gigs, you want to get these five things in place:
- A speaker outline. Your speaker outline should state the transformation that you’re going to offer to the audience along with three to five bullets of exactly what you’re going to cover in your talk.
- A professional photo in digital format. Don’t use a photograph that was shot on your cell phone or by your spouse. Invest in a session with a professional photographer, and make sure that you get a digital version so you can email the photo.
- A speaker bio. In a punchy way, get your credibility down on paper so that the promoter can see that you are ready.
- A speaker introduction. This is a paragraph for the host to read when he or she introduces you from the stage. They’ll also probably post it on their website or blog.
- Confidence. You have to approach hosts with confidence. And what gives you confidence is having your Signature Talk and Irresistible Offers done.
