Have you ever thought to yourself, "If I could speak in front of a live audience effectively, I could grow my business faster?" Or, "If I could present my products and services to a room full of people, I know I'd multiply my sales and make more money?"
If you have, you're not alone. The Content Marketing Institute ranks improving your public speaking skills fifth in its comprehensive list, "42 Content Marketing Ideas for 2013." (I'll be posting the complete list with my thoughts soon.)
You Can Add Proven Presentation Skills to Your Content Marketing Arsenal in 2013
Content marketers create and distribute relevant and valuable content to attract, acquire, and engage their target audience. And, according to a Forester Consulting survey, 95% of small to mid-sized businesses will use personal relationships and networking as a marketing tactic in 2013.
And there is your advantage...high performance presentation skills. Think of the multiple sales (as opposed to one-on-one selling) from your engaging presentation to a room full of people. People attending because they're interested in your product or service.
How to Become a Powerful Presenter
But to connect with an audience, you must know the secrets of powerful presentations.
That's why an upcoming seminar by Speaking and Presentation expert Fred Ashforth is so important. It's on December 7, 2012. Here is the registration form with everything you need to reserve a seat: AshforthPresentationSeminar12.07.12.
Fred is a Central New Yorker who's an experienced salesman, speaker, trainer, writer, and consultant. He's helped over 15,000 people who've attended his programs and worked with companies such as Adirondack Bank, ConMed, Faxton-St. Lukes Healthcare, and Indium Corp.
Fred pulls back the curtain on the secrets that the best professional speakers and presenters know. You'll learn how to connect with an audience, move them to take action, reduce nervousness, and much more.
But aside from his expertise, Fred is an all round great guy. We grew up in Clinton, NY together where everyone remembers following his lead in the many student organizations he belonged to and laughing at his antics onstage at the annual high school plays.
Not only will you learn proven techniques to strengthen your presentations, but you'll have a heck of a good time doing it. Again, the seminar is on December 7, 2012 in Whitesboro. It's filling up fast so don't miss out.
As a fellow content marketer, I highly recommend to you this exceptional seminar. I have personally attended three of Fred's power packed sessions so I know you'll gain an edge in 2013 if you invest just a few hours of your time at a very reasonable cost.
By the way, I'm not compensated for this notice...I just think public speaking and powerful presentations are so important for today's successful content marketers that I wanted to recommend the seminar as soon as I found out about it.
Enjoy it and let me know how it goes!
Until next time,
Nick
