THE SPEAKER ROLLER COASTER IN BUSINESS!
This week I thought it was time for an update on how Scott Media Speakers is developing as we approach a six month milestone and I talk about some of the learnings so far. It’s been a mini roller coaster within the general roller coaster of small business.
I’ve often thought that the world of business, particularly small or micro business, should be like a theme park, which multiple different rides to choose from all poised to excite, delight and terrify!
Back to Scott Media Speakers, here are some learnings. The first are around those who want to be speakers and the way they’ve approached it.
I offer this platform, clearly in its infancy for free to my retained clients and those who sit in my training group. For those who are not clients I’m charging a nominal admin fee per month of £10 plus VAT or £100 plus VAT for the year. In return they sit on my platform and get a blast on social media once a month — they are asked to share their ‘spot’ on the platform too. All of which acts as reminders around their desire to be a speaker and their expertise. I was very relaxed if clients chose not to be on the platform but I decided what level they were at — or we agreed together based on their own personal and business goals. That was the easy part.
