Small Business Help By Marketing Your Speaking Business and Watch Your Business Results Soar

Sometimes being somewhat old and of a strong Swedish heritage which means stubborn in my family, I fail to truly listen to the good advice that I have received along the way as I have grown my business. Recently, I just began to take some Business Help to heart specific to my marketing plan by growing my speaking business.

At a speaking engagement that came from a referral, I concluded the presentation with a funny line, "If you know of anyone who needs a speaker, please let me know as I speak for food." This simple request brought several chuckles along with five requests to speak at local service organizations.

After speaking at each of these 5 new opportunities, I once again concluded that "If you know of any other local organizations who would enjoy hearing me speak, remember I speak for food." New requests came across my desk including a couple of paid engagements. I never realized that growing my business through marketing my speaking services could be as simple as just asking for it.

By not charging for local speaking engagements, I have been able to begin to market myself as well as my message that personal improvement or business improvement must come from within each individual. Using humor, an extensive work history, a self-directed learning attitude and a lot of personal experiences, I am able to speak from the heart and bring value to those in the audience.

Speaking engagements are a small business help strategy that may become a primary source of income or continue to be marketing vehicle that allows others to begin to know you as a:

Business speaker

Change management speaker

Educational speaker

Inspirational speaker

Motivational speaker

Paradigm speaker

Spiritual speaker

Whatever the reason or reasons that you are speaking, just remember this simple suggestion to secure more opportunities: Just ask and if possible, sprinkle a little humor and see your engagements quickly multiply along with your business results.
