we help you turn your reputation into revenue
Strategically prioritize what you need to get booked as a speaker
Learn keen negotiation techniques from a former speaker’s bureau owner, booking agents, meeting planners and 7-figure speakers
Book yourself, hire an agent, and know how to work with bureaus
You need more than an amazing speech to become a sought-after speaker.
Perhaps you are a great speaker. You have the stories. The charisma. The entertainment value and valuable content to back it all up.
Sadly, you find yourself under booked and underpaid. It’s… well, underwhelming. It would have been so useful to treat speaking like a business and not just a passion.
And, that means you must know how to market yourself. Sell yourself. Negotiate on your behalf. Sell from stage. Create more revenue opportunities at every engagement. Provide great customer service. Follow up. Deliver a great presentation and over deliver on a great experience.
Also, you need to make sure you stand out, differentiate yourself, have stellar marketing materials, a “wow” demo video, a legit speaker website, and let‘s not forget you need a contract agreement, fee schedule, travel terms, and the list goes on and on and on.
Oh, and if you don’t want to do this yourself you have to know how to get someone else to market, sell, and book you better than you can!
Phew. That’s a lot.
The curriculum of our personal brand marketing event Full Keynote Calendar was created by two individuals who have collectively established notable speaking careers, ran a speaker’s bureau, built 7-figure speaking businesses, was inducted into the Speakers Hall of Fame, and have booked themselves, hired agents, worked with bureaus and have delivered thousands of speaking engagements all over the world.
We understand how hard it is to strike a balance between entertainment, marketing, and actual business strategy. But you need all 3 if you really want to build a successful keynote business. Speaking is one of the best ways to catapult your personal brand and we teach you how to turn that into a thriving business at Full Keynote Calendar.
Develop the mission, purpose, and business plan for your personal brand, build your body of content, and learn how to master the art of the spoken word.
Create your digital infrastructure, learn how to write copy that converts, gain the knowledge, insights, tools, and templates for you to launch your website, social media content strategy, podcast, blog, funnels, courses and keynote speaking career.
Master online lead generation and offline sales conversations while simultaneously learning how to manage paid traffic, launch a bestselling book and become a service first sales machine.
Learn how to build a sales team, scale your business and become an influential leader that people want to follow.
We have taken 20 years of trial and error experience, thousands of hours of researching, learning, and interviewing today’s top thought leaders, hundreds of thousands of dollars in courses, coaching, consultants, agents, and masterminds as well as working with some of the top personal brands in the world and condensed everything we have both learned and done into 4 simple phases; Branding, Marketing, Selling, Scaling to help you build and monetize your personal brand.
Our live event series is comprised of each of these 4 phases broken down into 12 original curriculums of unique and specific content all geared to help you grow your income, scale your business and impact millions of people. Full Keynote Calendar is the path to building a full-fledged speaking business.
Learn strategies from experienced speakers and agents on how to leverage an in-person vs. virtual keynote business
Develop sales and marketing skills to get consistently booked
Outline your speaker marketing kit and demo video while simultaneously creating your asset checklist
Position yourself as a skilled negotiator that never leaves money or business opportunities on the table.
Convert your audience from the stage in a way that’s a win for you and the client.
Our workshop attendees know that sometimes you need to slow down in order to speed up. You need to figure out what to start doing, stop doing, as well as what to do more of, and what to do less of. And, that is exactly what we are going to do.
We leverage large group teaching, small group sessions, 1:1 coaching, and insightful interventions because we know that is what you need but never knew you wanted! You will understand the business of speaking in just 2-days and leave with an entirely new set of skills to get booked consistently and get paid what you know you are worth!
That’s where we come in and stop you from making the most common mistakes and teach you how to effectively promote yourself in ways that get you consistently booked. The number one mistake we see “speakers” make is thinking a great speech is all you need. That is just a given, it’s a requirement. But that is not what always gets you booked.
Don’t end up spending time on the wrong things, investing in the wrong marketing opportunities, missing out on repeat business, and asking yourself, “Why won’t people book me?”
Stop Overspending Money When You Could Be Consistently Booking Paid Speaking Gigs.
You can continue to spend thousands of dollars relying on agents and bureaus to market you as a speaker. You can also go the trial and error route and try to figure this out on your own or you could spend 2 days at our small group, interactive workshop, “Full Keynote Calendar,” and learn the business side of speaking.
To help make this a total no-brainer decision we want you to feel confident that you will get all the information, guidance and tools you need to be successful. So, let’s sweeten the deal and make it easy for you to say yes.
Our Premiere membership program includes 2 live virtual training webinars every month, access to our content archive through your own learning portal and 24/7 community support and ongoing feedback and education through our private members only Facebook group.
There are simply not any other workshops that teach you how to be a compelling speaker and then take it one step further and tell you how to turn that skill into a business. We want you feel empowered to turn your passion into a profitable business and we will teach you how to do it.
Don’t think you have enough time now, you never will. Don’t think you can afford it; money will always be a factor.
A Full Keynote Calendar is possible, and it won’t take many bookings for this workshop to pay for itself. Take back control, turn your skill into a business and watch your calendar fill up.
This event was created for the individual ready to turn their speaking passion, hobby or side hustle into a real business. Not sure if that is you? Not sure if this can help? Not sure you can really make money with a personal brand?
