SUMMARY:NSAAZ: Stageside Leads: How smart speakers win more gigs\, more often\, at higher fees without spending a dime on marketing
DESCRIPTION:They tell us to build our personal brand. Shoot those YouTube videos. Increase our engagement on TikTok. Launch that podcast. They tell us to create a one-sheet\, send it to organizers\, and follow up.  \nNo response? That's okay. Follow up again.  \nThey tell us that we need to do more direct outreach if we want to book more gigs. Publish more content. Buy more ads. They tell us that the key to filling up our calendar is to pick a niche and promote ourselves. \nStill nothing. \nBut what if the key to building a sustainable speaking career requires none of those things? What if the fastest and most effective way to win more gigs\, more often\, at higher fees\, is by tracking only one number: stageside leads? \nA stageside lead is a request to speak at another event secured within 72 hours of stepping off the stage or powering down your web camera. It's the most important number to speakers bureaus. Shouldn't it be for you too? \nIn this exhilarating 90-minute workshop that will change your approach to speaking success\, full-time keynote speaker Andrew Davis will break down exactly how to take any speech from $0 to $20K per gig in less than six months. \nYou'll learn how to leverage the Velocity Philosophy and exploit Fee Parity. He'll show you how to set your fees\, profit from the power of Compounding Gigs\, and map your referral tree for long-term sustainable success. You'll even see how he books 55 gigs a year at a quotable fee of $20k—without a speaker bureau. \nSo\, are you ready to leverage the power of stageside leads and turn 1 gig into 100? \nRegister: https://nsa-arizona.org/event-5936559
