"Nobody would pay $5500 to hear me . . . "
Is
that what you’re saying to yourself right now? Well, that’s just the
kind of attitude Tom Antion, author of Wake ‘Em Up Business
Presentations, had when he started. When Tom started out, he was
earning a measly $75 per speech. Today, he makes almost $6000 for
each appearance and his travel expenses are all covered by the
organization that hires him!
Still don’t believe there’s
money to be made by sharing your knowledge?
Go online and do
a quick search for "Speakers Bureau," then browse through any of the
sites that come up. You’ll quickly realize that $5500
per speech is a drop in the bucket compared to what some
experienced speakers charge. Some make up to $100,000 for just one
night, sometimes as little as one hour of work!
What makes
the difference between a $75 and a $5500 speaker?
Presentation!
The best speakers involve their audience, motivate them, inspire
them, excite them. Few people are naturally born with the
natural gifts for making these attention-getting, powerfully
delivered, speeches. But now anyone can learn as long as they have
access to the right business presentation training.
And
that brings us back to Mr. Tom Antion and his book, Wake ‘Em Up
Business Presentations. The strategies
and tips included in this
280 page guide are the very same strategies
Tom used to stop earning a paltry $75 and to start making $5500 per speech.
