SUMMARY:NSAAZ: Turn Conversations into Speaking Contracts
DESCRIPTION:With Quinn Conyers  \nMany seasoned as well as a Speakers just starting out struggle answering the question “What do you speak about?” with clarity\, confidence and conviction. Oftentimes they even beat themselves up because they know they’ve lost clients\, contracts and consulting opportunities because you were all over the place when pitching and explaining their speaking services to clients or corporations. \nAs a result\, attending in-person industry events\, conferences and networking events makes them nervous or anxious because they haven’t found the right words to verbalize their value on how their presentation is different and what their audience will learn that can transform their life\, business\, career or relationships. \nThis presentation teaches Speakers and Business Owners why they must retire their boring and basic elevator pitch and replace it with a clear\, concise and compelling verbal business card. It shows them how to strategically leverage luxury language as a competitive advantage in their communication style so they can have intentional conversations that lead to clients\, keynote speaking contracts and consulting opportunities. \nRegister: https://nsa-arizona.org/event-6045826 \n3 Ways to Participate: \n\nRegister to join us in person.\nRegister to join us via live-streaming on the day of the event.\nRegister to receive a link to the recording afterward.
