Booked & Busy One Day Intensive
Being a great speaker doesn’t get you booked. I know no one wants to hear that,
but it’s true.
I’ve seen average speakers making $25,000 a keynote while brilliant speakers are still speaking for “exposure”.
The difference? They know how to get booked.
If you are tired of pitching and praying and wondering how people are finding paid speaking opportunities, then you are in the right room.
Here’s the good news…
Organizations need speakers every single day.
Corporations.
Associations.
Government.
Healthcare.
Colleges.
Conferences.
They have budgets, they’re always hiring, and, they’re paying.
The question is…
Do you know how to find them before everyone else does?
That’s exactly what’s happening at …
Booked & Busy One Day Intensive on July 27th, in Downtown Toronto, Canada
We are not doing the theory thing, and it’s not another event where you leave with a notebook full of ideas you’ll never use.
