219: Identifying and Pitching Places to Speak with Carol Cox and Diane Diaz - a podcast by Carol Cox

As we get closer to resuming in-person conferences and events later this year (yay!) plus with many groups still doing virtual events, this is a great time to research, identify, and reach out to organizers to get on their roster.

What are ways you can do this? How do you know which types of speaking engagements are best for you?

This episode is made specifically for you to address these questions and more!

This is a mini-training based on the one we do for our clients in our Thought Leader Academy on creating your visibility plan and identifying and pitching places to speak (in TLA, we also go into creating your speaking fees and packages, writing your speaking proposals, and more).

Our next Thought Leader Academy is enrolling now through April 19, 2021! Get all the details and sign up at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/academy/. 

 

In this episode, Diane Diaz and I share:

• What we did early in our businesses to get visibility and speaking opportunities
• The 4 visibility opportunity areas
• Selecting the best channels for your visibility goals
• The surprising results we’ve experienced from tracking our visibility
• Identifying and researching places where you can speak
• 6 different types of speaking engagements you can do, including which are generally unpaid and which are paid
• Ways to connect with event organizers
