Week 8 Live Q&A Replay

Small and highly engaged group this morning. So many members out at GIGS on a Tuesday morning – brilliant.

Jungle Jim Manning did his first Keynote and I bet that rocked.

Loved the success stories, challenges, and huge visions of possibility. Sign me up for a morning like that – anytime!

My Notes from the Meeting (Warning – Once I get going I don’t take many notes!)

Only 6 of us –

  • Colin – feel intimidated starting from the ground up. Where’s the diving board? Have indoor footage – but don’t love it. Don’t have social proof to sell myself. Would love to start doing Colin Campbell gigs.
    • Assignment – Create the website for Colin Campbell. Contacts in Boston.
    • SociallyExceptional.com is up, too! I want to watch this grow, Grow, GROW!
  • Meg in same place – daunting. Everything new. New website for the show. Need to hire someone else. Lacks any spark.
    • Look into a website builder app and get something in front of you. A pro can fix it up later. You know your show and your audience – build it for them.
    • SquareSpace
    • Strikingly (the one Colin uses)
  • Tuey: Providing Laughter and Awe Through Serious Skills – Barry play with that.
    • Corporate Holiday party mention at Renn Faire! Oh yeah!
    • Stop Looking!  Midwestern Charm and Big Stage Talent – Direct to Your Corporate Event or Association Conference  (112/120 characters)
  • Rene – Made CVI. Large print house – newspapers, etc
    • Got reply – 4 hours close up. Pitched $3,500 they said $1,800
    • Audience: managers, owners, up in the higher
    • Subject, body copy, link (Post it in Facebook Group) BARRY DO THIS!

“Greetings _____________,

Thank you for contacting me about the <name of event> on <date of event>.

Your new budget is about ½ of my appearance fee and my business model is to work with clients when neither of us has to compromise. My extensive professional history proves that it’s better for everyone when we both give, and get, what is expected of us.

That said, I would consider a non-financial compensation for the remainder of my appearance fee.

I will propose to you that, in addition to 2,000 Euro, you agree to send an email to all attendees on my behalf.

I will provide you the email copy. It will contain a link that takes them to a customized page on my website. The page will contain a short video of me thanking them for their attention and presence on <date of event>. It will also contain an offer to speak directly with anyone who has an event or creative project where I could be of service.

I trust you will consider this counter-offer to your counter-offer and we can swiftly finalize the appearance via contract.

I look forward to bringing my experience and mastery to <name of event>.

Sincerely,

Rene
