The Speaker Business Challenge. Step two of the Launchpad.
Learn the business behind the talk in 45 minutes.
A video masterclass on how paid speakers position themselves, price their talks and get booked. It costs $27, you can start tonight, and it makes you a Launchpad member.
What you'll learn.
Talent does not build a speaking business. Systems do. The masterclass walks through the system Marcus used to go from community centers to Fortune 500 stages.
- Positioning
- How to present yourself as a paid expert, so buyers stop treating you as a volunteer.
- Signature talk
- How to shape one talk that a buyer can picture on their stage, with a clear outcome for their audience.
- Getting booked
- The six ways paid speakers get booked, and the first move into each one.
- Income
- How to map your talk to a real speaking income with the Income Roadmap.
Who it's for.
Founders, nonprofit leaders, experts and advocates who already get asked to speak and want to be paid for it. If you have said yes to a free talk this year because you didn't know what to charge, start here.
This wasn't about helping me learn how to speak better. It was about how to create the business I need to create to stay booked.
