Being Prepared: The Backdoor Method to Impromptu Presentations | Ep 199
“You can save the meeting by being ready.” - Laurie-Ann Murabito
Booked speakers cancel for a variety of reasons: weather, illness, flight delays
At times, speakers can’t make the event they agreed to speak at, leaving meeting organizers in a tough spot. But you can be the hero! You’ll learn how having a presentation ready to go allows you to step in last-minute. The host will be so relieved. Plus, you'll wow the audience and impress the planner by saving their event. It's a great way to get on their radar for future speaking gigs.
This episode topic is not based on theory but experience. I’ll share two events I was asked to step in after their booked speaker was unable to make it.
Here's what you'll learn:
How to prepare a flexible presentation you can deliver on short notice and save the job of a meeting planner
Tips for creating a modular talk that can be 15-60 minutes long, because you never know when the speaker before you goes way overtime
The "backdoor strategy" of offering yourself as a local backup speaker, so you get booked to speak and build relationships with conference organizers
Having assets of your speaking abilities allows planners to feel confident hiring you
