Summary

Do you know how to provide value offstage for more success? It's true - what you provide offstage can do just as much (if not more) to help grow your onstage business. Our guest today is proof positive and he's here to tell us all about it!

If you recognize his name from a previous episode of the show you would be right - Brian Fanzo was here for episode 116. And he's back for today's edition of The Speaker Lab to share the simple ways he promotes his events to his audiences and how he connects with event planners before he speaks.

Also on today's show he breaks down strategic tactics that help him stand out among the competition, especially his offstage tactics. Join us to hear all of that and more on today's episode of The Speaker Lab!

THE FINER DETAILS OF THIS SHOW:  

  • What is a fly-in, fly-out speaker and do you want to be one?
  • Why does he promise six hours of his time on every contract?
  • Can you offer this type of speaking package if you are an introvert?
  • How do you "prime the pump" before you speak?
  • Why audience members often care more about off-stage connections than onstage performance.
  • Who are the three groups of people he focuses on when he does an event?
  • How does he use video to promote the events he is speaking at?
  • Why you should think of yourself as being in partnership with the events that hire you.
  • And so much more!

that you are here. Appreciate you tuning in and joining us. We've got a great guest for you today. But before we get there, hey, let me remind you, if you haven't already, you definitely want to check out my speakerfee.com. Again, that is my speakerfeet.com. I get asked all the time. Grant, how much should I charge as a speaker? And frankly, the answer is it depends. There's a lot of variables, a lot of factors that go into it, but I know that that is a horrible answer and not the answer that you want to hear. So we've put together this calculator. It's a totally free calculator. You're going to go through, answer a couple questions, and it'll give you a pretty close estimate of what you should be charging as a speaker. So if you haven't already checked it out or if you're just like,

he promotes the event to his audience and uses that content to connect with event planners before he actually

2:05.6

speaks. So he really does a great job of just breaking down some very strategic tactical

2:10.6

things that he does to make sure he sets himself apart from other speakers. And the reality is

2:14.9
