Tips: Submitting Call for Presenters Online

June 28, 2016
Marketing for Speakers, Public Speaking Tips

Question: Regarding online applications for conferences and events. What are the key aspects you believe has gotten you selected as a presenter or speaker at conferences and events based on applications you’ve submitted?

Personal opinion:
Online Applications …. Call for Presenters and Submitting Proposals…. UGH!
This is one of the biggest time-consuming activities speakers need to do….
and no TWO on-line submission forms are ever the same…
and often do NOT have the blocks requesting information that NEEDS to be submitted.

7 Key Elements to Successful Online “Call for Presenter” Applications:
1) Give them exactly what they WANT/REQUEST, then (if character count allows) add your additional marketing text.
2) It’s vital to include answers to their “WIIFM?” and the “takeaways” from your presentation.
3) Always provide LINKS to your sites (whether they ask for them or not).
4) Always provide LINKS to your VIDEOS (whether they ask for them or not).
5) If known, tailor (or tweak) your presentation title (or subtitle) to their theme.
6) Use numbers or bullet points of the BENEFITS in your text.
7) Use positive language (assumptive close) as IF you already have booking.

Bonus Tip:
Craft your text in a Word.doc, checking spelling, punctuation and character count, THEN cut-and-paste into the online boxes. KEEP your word.doc in that Event file.

6 Tips for Designing, Protecting and Sharing Slides

March 24, 2016
Marketing for Speakers, Marketing Tips, Public Speaking Tips

Are you protecting your original work, or shooting it out to the world?

Today I re-worked a client’s slide show for a seminar presented by a Medical Doctor, used to bring in new clients for her health and wellness coaching business. In my opinion (okay, and from 35+ years in graphic design, and 25+ years as a professional speaker) it needed “tweaks” to standardize the format and images, and add a bit more professionalism.

Consider these tips for your Slides:

1. © Copyright your intellectual property; at least add the © symbol to the bottom of your slides, in 10 point type on the LEFT hand side (use the MASTER SLIDE, or cut-and-paste duplicate on the each).

2. Add your LOGO small to the bottom RIGHT hand side.

3. Put your name, title, company and logo on the title slide under the title of your presentation.

4. If you have a special offer, post it clearly on the slide, while you speak to it.
5. Put your contact information on the final slide, and leave it showing for the remainder of your program.

6. IF you decide to release, distribute or post your slides, consider removing the “extra” talking slides, and post a PDF version, not the PPT or PPTX versions, as someone could “lift” your original work and use it.
