Review # 1 was written on 2020-02-01 00:00:00 Randall Merager From the beginning of this book, I realized I must move from being an amateur speaker to an expert in my field. There's one quote: "Meeting planners want content as well as eloquence." This means I will follow the steps to become an expert, and from that list "Be so familiar with your subject that no one can stump you with a question." Then I get need this book on my shelf as a reference to what to do from there to market myself and not only speak but get references, build a promotional package, work with meeting planners, bureaus and agents to get my speaking career up and going. I now reflect on what in my life is my greatest expertise that can be set for a general audience. then I will follow the other steps of attractive topics/titles, advertising, getting bookings that pay, leaving my audience cheering, setting up headquarters, moving to speak at high-profit seminars, and then selling my program and speaker products. I read the 1989 edition, and I'd like to get my hands on a more recent one.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-01-08 00:00:00 Toni Calvert This is what they call the "bible" of professional speaking. It is a very motivational book...not realistic at times when you are attempting to be a professional speaker AND a mommy. If you have goals along the lines of speaking as a profession, this is a book you MUST read. A little outdated now with the internet being what it is, but still good info.
