It can be a little intimidating to call an event planner to land a potential speaking gig. But it needs to be done.

So, to help you with confidently picking up the phone and representing yourself or your client in the best possible way, I asked Jean Noel Bassior of SpeakerServices.com to provide us with a tip that would increase your chances of:

• getting past the gatekeeper,
• engaging in a strong and positive conversation
• at the very least, having your message returned.

I'm super excited to host a FREE call where I interview Susan Levin and Jean-Noel Bassior from SpeakerServices.com on "7 Things Virtual Assistants Must Know to Find & Land Speaking Opportunities For Their Clients."

We all know how speaking contributes to a business. However business owners and entrepreneurs simply don't have the time or expertise to find and land speaking gigs on their own. They need the help of a skilled and confident Virtual Assistant to manage much of this on their behalf.

And it's easier than we may all think. Although the thought of picking up the phone and speaking with an event planner or the media paralyzes us, Susan and Jean-Noel are going to share how any Virtual Assistant can do this (yes, even you!).

The call is on Monday, February 6th at 10am Pacific. Check out the details >>> http://www.virtuallysuccessful.com/virtual-assistants-find-and-land-speaking-opportunities/
