Hey, Fran, Graham Baldwin here.

Hey, what if I told you that there was a single marketing asset that you could use to book tens of thousands of dollars in paid speaking gigs before you even have a website?

Well, that tool exists.

And Dan Irvin, one of the speakers on our team, used it to book over $36,000 in speaking gigs without a fancy website or any social media presence.

Even better, we're going to teach you exactly how

to create that tool for your speaking business in under an hour. For a limited time, we're going to

be offering a free live training on how to build and use this marketing asset to start booking

paid gigs in just a few weeks. If you want to hear more, go to thespeakalab.com slash marketing.

That's what you got to do is go to the speakelab.com slash marketing and we'll see you there.

Hey, what's on? My friends, Grant Baldwin here. Welcome back to the speaker podcast. We are so

glad that you are here. Glad you're joining us. Whether you're a brand new speaker, just going, I don't even know what I don't know and I'm looking for help on how to get started or your speaker who's been at this for a few years or maybe a few decades and you're trying to figure out how to continue to build and grow your speaking business. Wherever you're at in your speaking journey, really glad you're here. This is the place to learn about all things speaking. So oftentimes we have a mix of guests. We have different interviews. We have some different teaching and training here. But we want to give you a lot of resources and value that you need to build and grow your speaking business. Now, before we get to today's guests, I put together a free tool that we would love for you to check out. If you were looking for a place

on how do I find speaking leads? How do I find potential bookings? We have a free tool, a free software

tool that you can register for by going over to my speakeragent.com. My speakeragent.com. The tool is

free. The tool is called agent and you will find over a thousand listings there of

potential events that you could reach out to that could be potential clients for you.

So again, you can find that by going totally for free over to my speakeragent.com.

Now today we are talking with my dear friend, Miss Nicole Walters, who is as entertaining

and energetic and sassy as they come. All right. I think you're really going to enjoy this. It's just a really a wide-ranging conversation. We talk about how she pitches for gigs. She's really, really good for that. She shares some really practical, tactical ideas on that. We talk about how speaking feeds into the back end of her business and how speaking is just kind of one part of it and how it connects with everything else she's got going. We also talk about how she differentiates herself from other speakers at events. She shares some great strategies there. And then we also talk about how she balances travel with speaking and having a family. So one of the challenges with speaking is the nature of it is you have to get on a plane.

You have to leave your family. You have to go somewhere else. And so we talk about like as a mom, as a wife, how do you balance that? So she shares some great insights there. But Nicole is a great friend that has some great stuff to share here. So make sure you check out her stuff over at Nicole Walters. Dot TV. Again, that is Nicoleicolewaters dot tv so without further ado let's get right

I talk truth. I mean, I don't know what you're saying, but I like to drop accurate gems. That's what I do. That's what you do.
