Selling Your Speaking to Associations: a
Weekend Intensive with Ed Rigsbee--SOLD OUT
Richmond, VA
March
23-25, 2012
Are
you ready to attack the trade association market? Are you ready to get
more paid association bookings? Spend
an intensive weekend with Ed Rigsbee, and learn how to sell your
speaking, consulting, facilitation, and products to trade associations and
professional societies who collectively hold over 280,000 meetings a
year. This is a totally customized event.
For
over 20 years, Ed’s primary market has been trade associations and
professional societies. Generally, he goes in the back door through editors to sell
his services. He has presented his method for numerous NSA chapters. If
you have attended Ed's NSA/CAPS chapter program, now it is time for Ed2.0. During this
(next level) intensive weekend you will:
-
Determine
your proper positioning strategy for selling your speaking to the
non-profit marketplace
-
Create
your pre and post meeting products/services offering to increase
your dollars per engagement
-
Determine,
identify, and locate the best associations that need your speaking
topic and expertise
-
Write
customized selling scripts to build selling relationships first with
editors, then with meeting planners
-
Write
customized selling introduction and follow up email communications
-
Walk
away with a selling implementation plan, that Ed Rigsbee will hold
you accountable for the remainder of 2012
This
intimate weekend is limited to only 11
speakers. In this tight mutually
respectful setting, you will learn more quickly and build personal
relationships with 10 other speakers, and Ed, that will most likely last
for years.
Attendees
will arrive on Friday, March 23 and depart on Sunday afternoon, March
25. The Intensive will be held at the Garden Hilton Inn in Downtown
Richmond, VA. The educational format will be all-day Saturday and
half-day on Sunday.
Also
included in your very modest registration fee is your hotel room for two
nights, continental breakfast for two days, and airport/hotel transfers.
(Lunches and dinners will be on your own.)
Non-Refundable
Registration:
$750 (Sold Out)
