Facebook: www.facebook.com/advanceyourreach Website: advanceyourreach.com Email: [email protected]  We’re BACK with our first episode in the new year, and we’re here to bring you part 1 of a very special 2-part series! Today’s episode will focus on our biggest takeaways from all the interviews I held on the Inside the Greenroom podcast in 2019.  Think of this as a cliff notes version of a couple dozen “ah-ha’s” we had over the past year. If you’re up to date and listened to every episode thus far, it will serve as a reminder of the big ideas we covered. If you’re brand new to the podcast, we highly encourage you to identify just 2-3 “big ideas” that stood out to you and go back to listen to the full episode. You’d be surprised with how much of a difference it can make in your business if you implement just ONE big idea you hear from one of our interviews.  Part 2 will be released next week, and I’m going to cover what’s working TODAY with events, and landing stages.  I really believe the next couple of episodes in our “mini-series” will be impactful and set you up for a lot of success in 2020!  Here are some of the major takeaways from our guests in 2019:  How a lot of online companies are using offline, physical stages to grow their businesses The importance of building a speaking team once a brand reaches a certain level Why you should include the element of FUN into your events How 1 association can yield you 1,000+ speaking opportunities The nuance differences in winning international stages The benefits of BATCHING stages The power of dream stages How to overcome stage fright How to avoid being the road warrior Creating multiple streams of revenues in your event Using an in-house team to fill a large event How to sell high-ticket events How a book can make a difference to win a stage The power of using strategic gifting to win stages, and strengthen relationships How to fill and grow the attendance of your events with a smaller list Why a dialed-in Signature Talk will always outperform the written sales letter How strategy makes or breaks your events The secrets of making introverts feel welcome How to add a zero to your paycheck    And much, much more!   P.S. - REACH Live 2020 is right around the corner, and it will be our BEST live event yet!
