Using Stages To Grow Your Business

“You need to know your shit before hitting the stage as a great delivery will get you more stages as you grow your reputation.”

By Lorianne Vaughan Speaks

No matter what type of business

you have, your ability to share your expertise, product or service to the masses is a key to success. Are you a people person? Do you like to be the center of attention? Do you want to grow your business my speaking on stages (whether that be virtual or in-person)?

There are all types of groups, associations, companies and conferences looking for Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to help educate their audience?

Did you know there are 64,000 speaking opportunities each day? That’s not to say it will be easy to find the right stages for you to spread your message or “sell” your product or service. You need to get your shit together as Donnie would say.

Some things you need to do first:

Identify YOUR ideal client – Who is it you want to hear your message and is most likely to buy what you are selling? Create your message and signature talk – You need this to be niched to find your tribe and be authentic, knowledgeable and passionate about your service or product, and be able to succinctly be able to articulate that message. Create your marketing materials – For speaking this document is called a Speaker Kit or Media

One Pager. This should have your bio, all contact info, your social media information and descriptions and learning objectives for your signature talk(s). Practice and perfect your delivery – You need to know your shit before hitting the stage as a great delivery will get you more stages as you grow your reputation. Nor should you just “wing” it! Once you feel you are ready to speak your message, you now need to find the stages where your ideal client will be in attendance. You now need to do your research. Places to search:

• Google • Community bulletin boards • Local libraries

• Local service organizations • Social media platforms • Speaker platforms and groups

• Podcasts

The key is to do your due diligence, so you have your act together and you know where your ideal clients are. Many businesspeople do this like the spaghetti test – just throw a bunch of shit around and see what sticks. Not real authentic – and it will show. Just as you search for the right mentors for you and your business, show the prospective clients why you would be the best person for them (whether it is your product or service). Audiences are always looking for the next great thing…Do you have that? Can you put your voice to use to grow your business? You will never know until you try! So - Go For It! at? “
