15 years in the business, and we've only opened our doors twice to reveal our strategies for success. We're about to do it again - for only 50 people.
Greetings,
 This June, for only the 3rd time ever, Deanna Latson and I will reveal the secrets to our successful speaking business. We will be "opening our doors and teaching a few people everything we know about the speaking business. We will be offering a three day, tell-all, strategic seminar to help people like yourself fast-forward your speaking career. We call it, SPEAK & SUCCEED.T
We're excited about all the tips, advice, strategies, prosperity and savings we can give you when you join us in San Diego.
 Perhaps you already understand how many things there are to learn about this business: selling, marketing, showcasing, branding, speech crafting, platform skills, demo tapes, agents, brochure copy, repeat bookings, trade shows and conferences, books, products, direct mail, emails, web sites, and sponsorship. We'll help you on these things for sure. But even more importantly....
 We will teach you to succeed at speaking and make a great financial living doing it. We run our careers different than most professional speakers. Because of our unique approach, we speak lots and earn lots, and have most of our opportunities come to us. Chances are, like us, you want to be onstage changing lives, not chained to your desk marketing. If this is true, our seminar is for you.
 We're excited to reveal all that we know about the business from our combined 24 years of experience, 1300 + gigs, two bestselling books, 16 showcases, 50+ conferences, and many major television appearances (Good Morning America, The View, ABC Nightly News, Montel Williams, Donahue, CNN).
At this seminar we reveal the specific secrets and strategies that will enable you to speak lots and earn lots:
* Deanna's secrets to showcasing. (She has booked 20+ gigs from each of her last six showcases - add it up, that's almost $100,000 secured in 15 minutes). When other speakers knock it out of the park, they book about 5 gigs. Yes, that's right, Deanna books at least five times as many gigs from her showcases than ANYONE else because of her amazing insights into the showcasing process. Deanna is literally the most successful speaker yet at the all-important "showcasing!"
 * Learn how I netted 75 schools and a 1/2 million dollar sponsorship from VISA. This sent me speaking to the largest universities in America, and gave 30,000 students my book for free. It took me 3 years and $15,000 to figure out how to get my first sponsorship. I'll show you the shortcuts.
* Learn how you can serve hundreds of people every month easily and automatically, and earn thousands of dollars passively. In 2006, I spent a full year learning the secrets to teleseminars and online coaching. My advice and insight will save you months of set up time and gobs of money, best of all, enabling you to enjoy an additional and new way to speak from your chair and coach while you sleep.
 * Learn how to triple the attendance at your event. This is so important, because your hosts are usually mediocre at best when it comes to getting attendance. Then, regardless of how great your speech may have been, they fault you or your topic for the empty chairs. The result? No rebooking! When I toured for VISA we HAD to have at least 300 butts in the seats. Initially we were only getting 30-75 people per event (Ouch!). Out of dire necessity (fill the seats or lose the sponsorship), we created an extraordinarily effective and unique 10-point promotional plan. The result: Attendance soared and the sponsorship dollars were increased! Today, we both are consistently seen as better speakers because our events pack students in. This creates rebookings! Another secret that enables us to speak and earn more.
* Deanna will share her secret to turning "leads" into bookings. As you know by now, the difference between a lead and a booking is often a gap as wide as the Grand Canyon. My wife has a secret that I call "uncommon sense." I didn't figure it out in the first five years of my career, but once my wife shared her secret with me, my lead-to-booking ratio skyrocketed. Her "uncommon sense approach" really, really works.
 * Also learn how to turn your "speech" into an "event." In the early days of our career, we would deliver speeches and receive plenty of comments like "Great speech! Best we've ever had." But when we transformed our speeches into events, we suddenly started getting rebookings! Rebookings are obviously a great way to have more opportunities easily come to you.
*We reveal secrets to our successful websites and internet strategies which bring us thousands of dollars of business constantly. My website resulted in me appearing on The View for a one-on-one interview with Barbara Walters. Deanna's recently earned her an invitation to be a highly paid expert on a forthcoming infomercial produced by the BEST company in the business. We have a VERY unique approach to our websites, distinctly different than most speakers.

Our tips don't stop there.
* I'll give you a tip on how to sell 40-75 books or CD's after every event instead of 5-10. My method is not "salesy" which personally, I can't stand. It feels really good to move a lot of books to your audience because then you know they're taking away your WHOLE message. I've sold more than 130,000 published and self-published books.
* I'll also tell you the single most effective place I've ever gotten my book reviewed. This resulted in my book selling 10,000 copies in two months (For the first time ever the owner of my publishing company noticed me and called to ask what I'd done to become one the top sellers for the month).
Our tips are entirely specific.
 * We share the secrets and scripts for how to sell yourself because we recognize that this is one of the most unknown and daunting areas for speakers. We tell you exactly how to phrase your fee request; How much to charge for maximum business; What not to say and what not to do - and the most important thing to say when you've got a prospect on the phone. We've sold ourselves over the phone for more than a decade. We've studied telemarketing for years. We can tell you: most speakers do phone sales dead wrong.
* We give you a very specific, step-by-step plan of how to grow your speaking business in the next year. In this step-by-step plan you get (a) what to do, (b) when to do it, (c) how much it'll cost (d) how to save tons of money.
* We'll show you how to transform your office "systems" into an automated speaking business machine. (Perhaps this sounds low priority, but having great office systems has an enormous impact on your level of success in this business - It's the same in World Cup yacht-racing where 90% of winning depends on the design of the boat. If I could do one thing at the beginning of my speaking career, I'd copy the office/organizational systems of a top-tier, successful speaker.
 *Tour Our Office: we gave our last group of attendees a tour of our office, and many reported it was the one of the most helpful and inspiring things we shared. We're planning on offering it as an opportunity again. When you see our office, it will give you a vision of how to grow your office into an environment with easy and efficient systems and helpful staff.
* We give you useful checklists: How to do a perfect speaking event, start to finish; How to do a perfect tradeshow; The steps to a booking, from lead to thank you.
 * We share with you all our speaking materials so that you know how to make your materials top-notch. We will also review your materials and provide suggestions for improvement.
* We share with you the secrets to standing ovations. And we spend time addressing how to fully tap into your most inspiring and most life-changing speech. When you discover this speech within yourself, your confidence and power on stage will triple.
*We show you how to make and save thousands upon thousands of dollars. Speaking is easily a six-figure income if you do it right. By the same token, without advice from an experienced and successful speaker, it can easily cost you a lot of unnecessary money. (Learn from my mistakes. I incurred $45,000 of debt getting my career started without mentors or anyone to show me the shortcuts. Once I figured them out for myself, I was able to show Deanna how to launch her career for less than $10,000. A big key was being able to show her how to get bookings fast. I turned around and did it again for a friend (and now co-author) Justin Boudreau. He too was able to launch his speaking career and be profitable in the first year! Among many others, I also mentored Troy Stende through the beginning years of his career.
 What do you think you could get out of learning from Deanna and myself for three full days? Expect to propel your speaking career into the stratosphere and leapfrog years of trial-and-error. Our training will be highly personable and limited to less than 50 participants. (Plus, San Diego is a gem of a vacation spot, and a place where we can surprise you with an unforgettable outing.)
Join us in beautiful San Diego! We'll be your hosts.
June 13th-15th, 2008
 Consider this: If you learned from Deanna how to do showcases so that you earn even just one more booking, that'd be several thousands of dollars in your pocket. Then if one of our selling tips resulted in you closing only one additional lead that would otherwise have gone by the wayside, that's another several thousand dollars in your bank. If one of our secrets to rebooking gets you rebooked - again - only once, that's yet another several thousand. It goes on and on. I assure you our advice on how to close a gig can net you a LOT more bookings. You can make your investment back and dare I say many times over. Plus, factor in that I'm not hyping the financial upside because I don't want you come if it's just about making money. Our seminars attract people with big hearts and big visions.
 Normally, a seminar about the business of speaking is led by one person, for the same cost as ours. The fact that you get Deanna Latson's secrets and expertise for no additional cost, is due simply to the good fortune that we are married - so figure that as pure bonus. Deanna has been nominated 4 times for Speaker of the Year.
Call me personally if you want to talk about the opportunity of our seminar. I'd love to answer any questions you have. I promise it will be incredibly profitable, energizing, fun, inspiring, personable. I promise you'll learn how to speak and earn more, without having to spend all your time marketing. And we'll share some great meals together at a couple of San Diego's fine restaurants. Please come prepared to hang with other people as cool as you. New friends - new associates!
We do limit the seminar series to 50 people. Let us know right away if you're planning to attend so your space can be secured. Our previous seminars did sell out and we had to say no to people who signed up too late. And don't delay if you want to benefit from our insider secrets and strategies.
If you are a seasoned speaker, a person new to the speaking business, or simply someone with a burning
desire to speak and succeed, I encourage you to find out why our Speak and Succeed ™ seminar is absolutely your fastest, easiest and most economical way to ...

PS - If you really need help justifying the cost of this weekend with us, call me and I'll tell you some wild money rewards this business can bring. But I don't want to boil it down into how much money we can show you how to make, because honestly we just don't approach our speaking career's that way. We don't focus on how to make money. We focus on how to make a difference - the biggest difference possible. Focus on making a difference, and you won't have to spend your days chasing money - money will chase you. We want you to join us with a big vision, a big plan and a big heart.
P.P.S. - As another bonus, and another way to Speak & Succeed, corporate and college lecture agent, Scott Wolfman, will be joining us via videoconference to speak about how to make a lecture agent a hot part of your biz. And yes, he scouts new speakers for his roster. http://www.wolfmanproductions.com.
P.P.P.S. - As yet another bonus, we're flying in the greatest expert we're aware of for helping any speaker become a household name, Suzanne Falter-Barns. We're flying her in to teach you how to package yourself so that major media and publishers call YOU. Suzanne helps speakers, authors, coaches and small businesses define and design an online presence that attracts major media and publishers, not to mention a WHOLE lot more clients. Her clients have got calls 'out of the blue' from USA Today, Self, Sixty Minutes, PBS, Wall Street Journal, as well as offers of book deals and more. Why? Because their sites (blogs) are designed to be especially attractive to the media and really findable -- and this has been huge for their credibility and their ability to increase their reach. (Hint: It's all about your media 'hook'.) In this informative talk, learn how to select the perfect niche for your business AND brand it to stand apart from the pack and attract media. Learn what it takes to 'get known now'.

"Dear Patrick & Deanna,
I just did a keynote this morning in Georgia. I did everything you suggested to boost attendance. They told me they normally have 50 to 75 people attend an event like this and they counted over 215 for my presentation! It was standing room only! And the really great thing is, they are talking to me about future bookings! Please pass the word to your other seminar attendees that this stuff works!
