IN THIS SESSION:
Ever wonder why some speakers “make it” and others don’t? It’s not a big secret. Successful speakers know the secrets of increasing productivity and profits by creating systems. Success systems that work. Systems that are repeatable.

There has never been a better time to be reminded of some of the basics needed in order to thrive, as well as some new techniques that WORK.

Come to the chapter meeting and learn how to create and use positioning to your advantage! You will learn that and much, much more!

During this program you will learn the answers to these key questions:

1. How can I maximize marketing?How should I position my business?

2. What are some of the BEST sales tips and trends?

3. How can I work more with bureaus or get involved with bureaus?

4. What part should Social Media play in my business?

5. How to leverage mastermind groups?

You won’t want to miss this valuable information and key strategies taught by Lois to help you get bookings even in tough economic times. There are speakers whose businesses are thriving. In 2010, will yours be one of them?

During this program Lois will share the following strategies:

• Lois’ definition of marketing – we’re not merely talking about getting speeches! Today’s business is much more than that.

• Some fun marketing ideas that don’t cost a fortune

• The importance of a “positioning statement” and how to create one

• How to incorporate your positioning statement in everything you do – this includes “branding”

• Lois’ qualifying system for prospects – how to ensure you are spending the greatest amount of time with prospects who are mostly likely to buy from you – speeches, consulting, training, products.

• “Dialing for Dollars!” – Lois’ 10 Questions to help you Book More Business. Who to ask for, what to ask, what to send, what to say.

• Trends in our business – time permitting

Imagine how much business you could attract if you could increase media exposure for your brand? What if you could gain this type of exposure without having to pay thousands of dollars to a business coach or PR agent?

What if 6.5 million people had access to your business? What would you give to have your business, brand, book or product top visibility on Americas TV shows?

How do you get repeatedly booked as a speaker, author, consultant or coach for higher fees? Media recognition!

How do you gain the “expert status” in your field? Media recognition!

How do you do this without spending thousands of dollar? COME TO OUR SESSION!

Learn how to get the media’s attention without spending tens of thousands on hiring a PR firm.

Join us with Eli Davidson who used the secrets she used to get booked on The Today Show, Dr. Phil’s Decision House and over 30 other TV shows.

Appearing on “The Today Show,” prompted numerous top speaking bureaus to call Motivational Speaker..that day! Soon her work as a speaker and business coach on cover of Kiplinger’s Financial Magzine, and a weekly column on the Huffington Post where her columns reach 21 million readers each month.. Last week Eli shot a TV pilot for Life Changers with the company that produce Ellen, Trya Banks Show and Extra!

There is no reason that you can’t do this too!

Eli will teach you tools she has used as a speaker and coach (without a publicist!) so you can be booked in the national media.

You will learn everything you ever wanted to know about getting booked on
TV talk shows and news programs.

How to deliver a clear, concise and compelling pitch so you get booked.

How to pick the best shows to target.

When to pitch yourself.

How to follow up so that you get booked , to delivering an on camera
performance that will get you invited back, and more!

During this month’s meeting, Eli Davidson will share her proven strategies and techniques for generating your buzz around your brand and landing free publicity in the print and media. Eli knows what she is talking about because she has been featured in numerous magazines, appeared on many major TV networks and touched thousands of listeners on Sirius Satellite Radio. She accomplished all of this without paying a dime to a PR agent and she is excited to help you learn how to do the same.

In her high-energy style, ELI DAVIDSON will share a three-step coaching system to enhance your ability to reduce ineffective behavior, obtain practical tools to transforming thinking, and elicit higher levels of innovation.
