Amazing Ideas and Speakers are not Enough!
When it comes to filling your events, you might be shocked to know that your great idea and high quality speakers are not enough.
I’ve been to some absolutely beautiful events, with amazing speaker…. and empty seats or trade show floor.
It makes me think about how disappointed the person must be who had the vision for the event. I wish they could have had a one-on-one Power Planning session with me first, because it’s so avoidable.
I hear from people all the time that they are having trouble filling their events, and it always comes down to understanding that your amazing idea, the speakers, and venue are only part of the whole picture.
How the market responds to events has changed dramatically over the past few years, and the old ways just don’t work anymore. Unfortunately, it’s not just about having the best speakers and content alone.
Events as Lead Generators
I’ve planned and promoted over 500 events of all types and sizes, and I’ve seen it all. I know how to use events to grow my business.
I’ve also filled many events, and I know that unless you have a clear understanding of the objective for your event and the exact model you are employing and why, then you might be throwing your time and money out the window. You need to be crystal clear about how you are going to grow your business, connections, reach and influence.
Do you completely understand 100% about how this event fits into your funnel?
You need to be able to answer that in order to fill your event.
It’s about knowing how events fit into your business and being extremely clear on the model you’re using.
For me, after many iterations, successes and fails, it’s clear that events are primarily for lead generation. Not all events, but this is the case for most experts just trying to get their message heard. If you think events are the core of your profit… nope, you’re way off. You’ll be disappointed. There are very few who successfully make events the absolute center of their business. Maybe your event concept is the exception, but for most businesses in every niche, events are better used as lower level offers ($20 – $1997) for the purpose of generating leads to your higher income streams and offers.
Hope is Not a Plan
Knowing the right strategies for creating sold out events and then thoroughly implementing them creates results. It’s about confidently knowing how to make it happen. Do you need help filling your events?
