Public Speaking: Media Marketing Revisited

Media marketing is really a fun way to market because with the electronic methods of reaching out today, you do not have to face much rejection because your prospects call you.

They call you after being pre-qualified because they have either:
A.) Heard you on the radio,
B.) Seen you on TV,
C.) Read an article "by" you,
D.) Read an article "about" you
E.) Read a comment you were asked to make because you are the "expert" on a particular topic.

Whenever someone calls after having been exposed to you in the media the entire nature of the phone call changes. You are not trying to find out if they need your services, or if they have money. In many cases they call and ask, "do you speak" or "are you available to speak?"

Over the past year I have created much more reference information for you that will make your media marketing efforts much easier to implement. They will also teach you how to be "great" when you appear in the media. Here are my recommendations from some of my CDs:

"Kick Start Your Media Marketing: How to Get Speaking Clients to Call You" by Tom Antion

"Kick Up a Media Storm: How to Get FREE or REALLY CHEAP Publicity" With special guest "The Publicity Hound" Joan Stewart

"Kick the Ears off Your Audience: How to Be GREAT on the Radio" With special guest "The Radio Genius" Joel Roberts

"Kick Through Your Database to Sell Tons of Products & Services on the Radio" With special guest, "Mr. Radio Database" Joe Sabah You can see the complete descriptions of these targeted speaker reference materials at http://www.antion.com/cds.htm

Public Speaking: What Is Your Elevator Speech?

You're in an elevator and in walks the meeting planner you've been trying to reach for a year. You've got 15 seconds to make an impression. What do you say...

"Hi, my name is Stan Smith, I'm a professional speaker." or "Hi, I'm Shirley Jones, I'm a Sales Trainer." or "Hi, my name is Elizabeth Gonzalez, and I'm a success coach."

How far do you think any of these statements will take you?

Do they continue the conversation? Do they get you an appointment? Do they get you any business? NO! NO!! NO!!!

The reason these statements don't get you a response - or any business - is because they're focused on you. What you do. Not what's of interest - or benefit - to the customer.

So What! When you can say "SO WHAT!" after a statement, it's not a benefit. And that's why you're not getting anywhere.

Question: What's the most popular radio station in the US? Answer: WII-FM - WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME!!!

As an alternative, Stan could say: "Hi, my name is Stan Smith, I work with companies helping them improve their customer service. Do you have a quick moment to chat, or may I give you a call at your office."

Shirley could say: "Hi, I'm Shirley Jones, and I work with companies that want to improve their people's performance so they can close more sales and make more money. Do you have a moment?"

Elizabeth could say: "Hi, my name is Elizabeth Gonzalez, I work with companies helping their employees set their priorities and stay focused, so they can grow their business and become more profitable and successful. Do you have a moment?"

BENEFIT STATEMENTS I call these statements BENEFIT STATEMENTS for they focus on the benefits that you offer to your client/customer, as opposed to focusing on what it is you do.

Let me give you another example. This is the bio from one of my books.

Jeffrey J. Mayer is one of the country's foremost authorities on time and business management, [SO WHAT!] and is the author of many best-selling books. [SO WHAT!] He has been featured in The New York Times, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, Esquire, People magazine, and many other publications. [SO WHAT!]

For years I've used that bio and I wondered why I never got any phone calls.

Today it reads a bit differently: Jeffrey Mayer helps business owners, corporate executives and sales professionals manage their time, set their priorities, and stay focused so they can achieve their goals, grow their business, and be more successful.

And here's another example. A client of mine who does programs on how to find referrals says: "I help sales people learn how to find qualified prospects so they can grow their business and make more money."

A client in the health care industry now says: "My programs help doctors manage their practices better so they can provide better patient care."

If you want to grow your business and get ahead, you've got to have a great Elevator Speech.

Public Speaking: Have The Audience Write The Humor

Writing custom humor for groups is really tough. I remember the days when I was doing 85 percent humor in my speeches. The customized humor always took the most effort and carried the most risk. One way to beat the system is to have the audience write their own customized humor.

Who knows what's funny to them, better than them?

Break the audience into groups and give them some direction to start. You might ask them to come up with funny book titles based on people in their company (remind them to be kind because we don't want any hurt feelings).

You can give them some to start which will get the mood set and get you some laughs using stock humor before the exercise starts.

Book Titles:

"Secrets to a Happy Marriage" by Bill Clinton

"How to Raise Sober Kids" by George W. Bush

"Why I Hate Florida" by Al Gore

You could have them do Movie Titles, Work Project Titles, Newspaper Headlines, etc.

After they've been working on them for a while have them pick a spokesperson for the group who will recite to the entire audience their five best lines.

You can give out prizes and generally have a lot of fun with this technique.

Tom Antion: Copywriting Specifics

If you want to sell more stuff, easier and at a higher price be very specific in your copy so you can push buttons that make people buy.

I wish people would listen to me when I tell them this. I can pretty much guarantee failure when someone tells me they have a success product. They tell me, "Everyone needs this." That may be true, but pretty much nobody is going to buy it unless you write the exact words that push their buttons enough to get them to pull their wallet out and give you money. It's pretty hard to write "exact" "general" words. I sure can't do it.

The first thing you should do is to make up a profile for the exact type of person that you want to respond to your offer. Let's use the success product above as an example and we'll call the product "The Success Wand."

You certainly could put it in your mind that The Success Wand would be great to help any adult or child achieve his/her goals. Let me ask you this. Where would you advertise The Wand? Adult magazines, parent websites, children's websites, women's websites, men's websites? What words would you use to push emotional buy buttons? It's doubtful that the same things that would make a professional man buy, would make a single mom buy. These questions could go on and on and on and you'd have to have an enormous budget just to get started.

Now let's say you picked a targeted audience like doctors. It's an entirely different story. You can write words that specifically push the buy buttons of doctors. You can find exactly the places doctors frequent. You can find the magazines they read. You can find the websites they visit. You can price your product higher because doctors generally have a decent spendable income.

Do you see the difference? Just by picking a target audience you can give this project and infinitely higher chance of making you money.

OTHER WAYS TO BE SPECIFIC

Don't write that your Success Wand for doctors has made many doctors more successful in life and in business.

Write: 97% of the doctors who use the Success Wand twice a week report their income has gone up by at least 32 percent.

Instead of writing, "We have over 1000 satisfied customers" write "We have 1119 satisfied customers in 18 countries."

Make your testimonials specific too. Don't use a testimonial that says, "Tom was really liked by our salespeople." Use one that has specific results like this one, "After Tom's seminar on Creative Use of Email our sales force contacted 37 % more people in 18 % less time which resulted in 12 contracts we would have never landed. -- Now that's productivity."

Be specific in your copy and watch your sales soar.

Tom Antion: Public Speaking Testimonial Tips

Tom Antion and Michelle Sorro

There are two types and four formats of testimonials.

Types:

· Pat on the back · Results Based

Formats:

· Written · Audio · Video · Oral

I have found that "results based" testimonials are by far the most effective. "Pat on the back" testimonials are nice and I would certainly use them if that's all I had, but I want you to keep your eyes out for "results based" testimonials.

Example of "Results Based" Testimonial:

"Since we started working with Tom our monthly revenues have quadrupled." Patsi and Denise AKA the Blog Squad

Example of "Pat on the Back" Testimonial:

"We recently had a consultation with Tom and he really took a lot of time working with us. We really liked him." Sally and Joe Nicepeople

Even though the "Pat on the Back" testimonial may appeal to people who really want personal attention, it generally won't help you as much as the "Results Based" testimonial.

Extra testimonial tips:

Make sure your testimonial is believable. I got one once where the person claimed that my information doubled his business in one week and this guy already had a really big business. I did not use the testimonial because it was not believeable to most people and I think he just wanted a link from my website back to his.

Also, make sure your testimonial is not too long. You can excerpt from it. If you feel the need to put in the entire thing (which is most cases is a bad idea), at least highlight the best things said so you don't bore people to death.
