Don’t Forget to Promote Your Speaking, Coaching, etc. Services
To get more paid speaking engagements, make sure to let your audience know about your availability for public speaking engagements and about your coaching or other services…
During your presentation, include success stories with your coaching/consulting clients (or whatever profession you have), just to plant the seed that you are also a solo professional who’ll be able to help the audience members in person as well. ALSO mention casually that “Whenever I speak to groups – whether it’s a corporate group, associations, youth groups, etc. – I always make sure to bring the best and latest information out there” – the key, again, is to let the audience members know that you speak to different groups…

[I’m a very visual person, so I like to include pictures… If my intention is to get keynote engagements, I’ll make sure to have a picture where I’m speaking to a crowd and I wear a suit and tie; if I want to promote my workshops, on the other hand, it all depends on which picture I find “sexier” 🙂 ]
So, what do you think? Is this something you can implement in your next presentation? Or… are you already using some self-promotion strategies in your presentations that bring results?
