The Program:
You’ve always wanted to know how to get bureaus interested in representing you. You can’t get through the seemingly impenetrable wall. Heck, you can’t even get past a bureau’s receptionist to talk to the owner. You’re tired of hitting your head against the wall and want some inside intel.
- Do you want to save time and money and cut your learning curve in having more success in your speaking career?
- Do you want to learn the secrets of getting bureau attention which leads to more bookings at higher fees?
- Do you want to work smarter, and have more bookings and a steady stream of income?
If you answered “yes” to the above questions, then you’ll want to hear the wisdom of Betty’s 20+ years’ experience as a bureau owner.
In this session, you will learn how to:
- attract bureaus’ attention to get your foot in the door
- work effectively with bureau owners and representatives
- court bureaus so they are more likely to work with you
- avoid common turnoffs that will guarantee your emails and calls won’t get returned
