How to Build Clarity as a Speaker    Resources:    Charli Jane Speakers Club since 2005 - The club that gets you booked! https://charlijane.com/charli-jane-speakers-club/  41 marketing templates just for speakers (Plug n’ go https://charlijane.com/why-clarity-sells-you-as-a-speaker/ Show notes: Today I’m talking about Why Clarity Sells You As a Speaker. There are plenty of aspects that I cover with the speakers I work with during the course of our time together. However, there is something I talk about right off the bat as soon as we sit down. So what’s that one thing we talk about right away? Clarity. Clarity is often the difference-maker between a successful speaking business, and one that is busy but not making any money. I recently spoke about the importance of being consistent as a speaker. But without clarity, you can be consistently doing the wrong things.  So what does clarity mean in the context of speaking? Listen in and learn.   Charli Jane Speaker Website   Speaker Growth Academy: Opening the door soon to founding members with an awesome founding student price! The Speaker Growth Academy.

In This Episode You Will Learn About:   Why do you need testimonials How to get them Where to put them   Resources:    Charli Jane Speakers Club since 2005 - The club that gets you booked! https://charlijane.com/charli-jane-speakers-club/  Show notes: The bottom line with testimonials is that they are one of the best ways to market yourself as a speaker. We all understand how powerful the recommendations of a friend, colleague, or family member are. When it comes to buying products and services, 92% of consumers say they trust word-of-mouth or recommendations from friends and family above all other forms of advertising. That’s precisely what testimonials are – a recommendation. Given the influence recommendations hold, I think you’ll agree that building up a plentiful list of testimonials is a pretty powerful tool to have in your marketing belt.  Testimonials also provide social proof that you have the credibility and authority to speak on your chosen subjects. The more testimonials you acquire, the more you begin to look like the expert in your sector you already know you are to planners and event organizers.    Speaker Growth Academy: Opening the door soon to founding members with an awesome founding student price!

112. Getting Testimonials – the Right Way and Right Away

In This Episode You Will Learn About:   Why consistency is everything as a speaker The importance of consistency in a business How to remain consistent as a speaker Resources:  FREE: Get consistent using our 41 pages of Canva marketing templates. Stick to your brand and use them regularly. Grab them here >> Show notes: I often meet speakers that tell me they struggle to secure gigs. After doing a little more digging with them, the same issue always pops up, time after time. No one knows who they are.  It’s not that they don’t have a good speaking website, or that they don’t have any published articles. It’s about the fact that they haven’t built any trust or credibility within their field. In other words, no one knows who they are or what they represent.  While the obvious solution is to get more speaking engagements. It’s not so cut-and-dry. Many speakers get stuck in a vicious cycle of not being booked and therefore unable to build trust and authority.  However, there is a way forward – being consistent. Consistency is absolutely key if you want to grow your speaking business.  Charli Jane Speaker Website

This week I’m talking about Why You Need A Planner Page on Your Speaker Website. Why Include a Page for Planners on Your Speaking Website?  First and foremost, the answer is time. Event planners are busy people. They’ve got a lot of speakers to evaluate. Therefore, it makes total sense to have everything they need collected into one concise page that saves them searching all over your website for the information they’re looking for.  So often, having a clear and compact planner page can make the difference when it comes to securing speaking gigs. Remember, you have to make it as easy as possible for them to book you. The planner page provides everything they need in one simple click. So make sure you get working on including a planner page if you haven’t already!  If that’s you, you might be wondering what you need to include. Listen and as I talk about exactly that.   Resources:    The Charli Jane Speakers Club since 2005!

Dominate Your Speaker Space   This week I’m talking about dominating your speaker space. Fact: Building authority in your field is what it takes to get you bookings, clients and sales.

Celebrating 100 Episodes of the Charli Jane Speakers Grow Your Speaking Biz Podcast This week, I’m doing a little celebrating as I release the 100th episode of my podcast.   Nothing inspires me more than my family, members, and followers. It all comes together in this episode, with a twist. In this episode, an exceptional guest turns the tables and puts me in the hot seat for a candid chat about all things Charli Jane. We talk about how I started my speaker support services business nearly 2 decades ago. I share the inspiration behind the business, what advice I’d give to my younger self just starting and share tips on building a sustainable business while helping others to reach their own goals and dreams of success. We dig into remote work and how to thrive when working completely online, too. When asked if I have any regrets, you just might be surprised at my answer. Also, I share the one thing each and every one of you who is stuck trying to launch your own business can do today to get unstuck and move forward towards financial freedom. Thank you all so much for being such loyal listeners and readers and for all of the support over the years. Without you, Charli Jane Speakers wouldn’t be the blessing it is in my life and to my family. You are the reason I do what I do each and every day.   Resources:  Grow Your Speaking Biz Facebook Group – www.SpeakingBizCommunity.com See you over there!
