Understand Association Execs Before You Try to Sell Your Speaking!
Jan 21, 2022 7:28 pm
Next Friday January 28th at 9am PT/12pm ET both Ed Rigsbee and myself are back for our first global networking event of 2022.
If you were at this week’s Crowdsource Your Business Strategy event - it’s similar, but with more content and better networking opportunities. Remember: We can’t refer business to each other if we don’t know each other!
This month Ed's going to present a short session before the networking starts on How Understanding Association Executives’ Needs is the Key to Getting Hired in 2022.
…and he's going to tell you exactly how to do it.
Some of the strategies include:
- Association & Meeting Industry Publications
- Online forums of association executives
- State (SAE) Society of Association Executive groups at LinkedIn
Knowledge and empathy can go a long way toward building the relationships with decision makers that will be necessary for you to succeed in the business of professional speaking. This workshop will compel you into the proper direction and behavior for success.
That’s the first 20 minutes. Then we break into over an hour of private one-on-one networking, where the system randomly matches participants for conversations.
Honestly, this event has become a highlight of the month for myself and other speaking professionals from around the world. So you should really sign up.

As always, members of the Association & Society Speakers Community get complimentary access to this event AND 2 other mentoring/coaching sessions each month along with exclusive RFPs, Conversations with Associations recordings, courses and much more.
Joining the community has no obligations and you can opt out at any time. But I know you won’t.

Have a great weekend.
