The Lecture Circuit™

The ONLY "guided execution" program specially designed for

The Problem: The world of the paid professional speaker can be confusing. Not the actual speaking - but how to MARKET and SELL your speaking services...

The best description I've ever heard of the lecture circuit as a sales and marketing environment comes from my National Speakers Association colleague and Hall of Fame speaker, the amazing Sally Hogshead... 

She said, "The buying decision for speakers happens in a locked black box inside a hidden ivory tower." And no truer words were ever spoken...

You don't have to waste another minute trying to figure it all out on your own...

With the Lecture Circuit™ program, you will cut to the head of the line and get everything you need to...

  • Powerfully brand your speaking, consulting, or coaching business (from your "10-second sound bites" to your program titles, taglines, brands, and sub-brands so you get a focused, consistent, and irresistible package)
  • Precisely target your most relevant prospects, clients, professional groups, and industries (so you stop spinning your wheels and finally develop your strong "home base" of credibility, repeatability, and referrability that becomes the basis for your "perpetual marketing plan")
  • Effortlessly connect you to your highest-probability prospects (who are eager to hear from you, look forward to your communications, and who consider you a true partner and not a peddler when it comes to solving their urgent, pervasive, and expensive problems)

Imagine you have X-ray vision into the speaker marketing speaker profit blueprintinner workings of the lecture circuit... 

  • You know the exact wants, needs & urgencies of your best and most likely prospects
  • You STOP worrying about "convincing" decision-makers about the relevance of your topic and the value in hiring you
  • You wake up each morning knowing EXACTLY how and where to spend your energy in terms of marketing, writing, publishing, social media, relationship building, networking, and any other method of business outreach
  • You instantly connect with decision-makers and executives whose first reaction after 30 seconds on the phone with you is "Yes - we want some of THAT!"
  • You sit down each day at your computer armed with a clear game plan, a set of customized templates and proven scripts (in your own voice), and a hand-picked target list of prospects eager to hear from you so that marketing your speaking, consulting, or professional services business becomes easy, effortless, and enjoyable (yes, REALLY!)

Speaker marketing coach, marketing speakerTHIS program generates real results - No theory, no fluff, and no bull. And more importantly, NO MORE "stupid sales tricks" - chasing prospects - or spinning your wheels...

...just a steady stream of well-qualified prospects and thrilled clients eager to hire you, rehire you, and enthusiastically refer your services to others...

The Lecture Circuit™ PRIVATE 1-on-1 personal marketing program is unlike anything else out there. 

It combines three critical factors for your marketing success. Tackle one or two of these in isolation and you will struggle. Nail all three - and the floodgates will open for you and you'll wonder why this business was so hard for so long...

speaker marketing coach brandingPHASE 1: Branding, Niching, and Positioning

Whether you've been in business for 2 weeks or 20 years, you always need to adapt your message, your topics, your titles and your "thought leadership platform" so you stay credible, relevant, and urgent in today's marketplace on today's issues for today's buyers. You want to align yourself with the marketplace so your services, products, and programs move into the HAVE TO HAVE category - and not slip into the "nice to have" category where so many professionals go broke. (Sad, but true!)  

After PHASE 1, you will have:

  • Company name (if needed)
  • New program titles
  • New "10-second pitch/sound bite introduction"
  • New tagline(s) or slogan(s)
  • Titles for your books, products, and resources
  • Your overall "brand platform" through which everything you offer suddenly "makes sense"   

target marketing speaker coachPHASE 2: Targeting Best-Fit Clients and Audiences

Next, we'll precisely target your most relevant prospective clients, groups, and industries - not in theory, but in actual "live ammo" practice. No more guessing - and you'll finally be able to quit using hope as a sales strategy.

During PHASE 2, you will get:

  • A clearly articulated niche and a game plan to penetrate related fields
  • Short, manageable lists of target companies and trade associations (state, regional, national) based on your niche & topic
  • A hit list of specific conferences, conventions, meetings and a simple plan to build relationships that will keep you top of mind
  • Easy ways to get in front of relevant affiliation groups of decision-makers and influencers
  • A handful of target-rich networking venues that are actually worth your time
  • Strategies to recruit referral partners that serve your same target markets and buyers
  • Simple ways to brainstorm and identify potential sponsors eager to pay you to speak to or work with their members, dealers, employees, or customers
  • Google search terms and Google Alerts that will keep a steady stream of fresh leads pouring into your inbox week after week, month after month

And no matter what your approach - online or offline - you'll get exactly what to say at every step using "done for you" templates and pre-written tools.

During PHASE 3, you're getting:

  • A complete set of outreach tools, templates, scripts, and a game plan that puts it all together for you

  • Phone scripts for initial contacts, follow-up, voice mails (where so many speaking gigs are lost!) and actually closing the deal
  • Ready-to-use templates for pitching and getting your articles placed in key publications aligned with your target market and topic (magazines, newsletters, industry journals, trade publications)
  • A social media game plan for effectively using your own blog plus LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to expand your reach and deepen your connections to your target buyers (all in less than 2 hours per week)
  • Templatized tools and affordable strategies for reaching media outlets and specific journalists who cover your topic and industry
  • A customizable 5-part sponsor pitch letter that will get the attention of potential sponsors and open doors for you to have more and better conversations that lead to more revenue while making the sponsor feel great about working with you
