Speaker’s 14-Day Challenge: Day 8- Building Your List

 

The Challenge Continues…

Before I launch into today’s post I wanted to give you a quick update about seat availability for our Presentation Secrets events around Australia.  The first one is next Tuesday the 6th of March in Perth, then Melbourne on the 9th.  We had a big surge in Perth ticket sales in the last 24 hours (everyone leaves things til the last minute right?!) So if you are planning to attend the event in Perth I advise you to book today.  Don’t worry- if you win the price I will refund your booking fee of $97! But it would be awful for you to miss out waiting to hear if you’d won the competition.  Its called covering your bases!!) Book by clicking here or call the office on 1300 856 939.

And then onto today’s video!

Yesterday I introduced you to the main reason most people can’t fill rooms: because they have no COMMUNITY.  Speakers  think that if you decide to run an event, that people will come just because you ask them to.  It doesn’t work that way.  However if people know you, like you, love to hear from you- then they will be anxiously awaiting you running an event, and as soon as you announce it they will pounce.

For example- we traditionally sell the first 40-50% of our tickets to Presentation Secrets within the first 48 hours as a result of simply opening doors to our won community.  Our affiliate promotions support that effort- but our community have already pounced!

This could be you too if you have a great community.  Remember this equation:

COMMUNITY = LIST X RELATIONSHIP

Yesterday we talked about building the list.  Today its al about the relationship with that list.

Discover ways to build relationship so you have people anxious and waiting to buy your products and services and attend your event.

Today’s Project

Make a plan for what you are going to do to build your relationship with your list.  Make it simple, easy to implement and something you can do consistently.  If you are already doing something like a newsletter- how could you repurpose the information in a clever way to reach more people with very little extra effort?
