Have you ever noticed that when you deliver a presentation where people are familiar with your work, and love you already, you do a better job?
It happens in coaching all the time. When someone has seen you speak or is referred by a fan, the wheels are greased and you don’t have to start from the bottom of the credibility barrel. It’s just so much easier to do good work when you aren’t concerned about proving you’ve got the goods.
So how can we grease the wheel and create engagement for our upcoming presentations so that we go in with a warm audience?
Here are 3 quick tips:
1. Ask the planner how you can help build audience anticipation for the event. Perhaps you send them a series of articles, or emails to go out to the audience prior to the engagement.
2. See if there might be an opportunity to have everyone read your book. A copy of your most recent book should likely be in the clients hands already, either from the “pitch” phase or sent with the contract with a note about volume pricing.
3. Send them a video to welcome the audience and let them know what your presentation is going to be about. Joe Calloway finds a 2-3 minute video helpful and says this….
