What Makes A Good Outreach
➡️ Reach out to your speakers
➡️ Mutual connections
➡️ Play the benefit of what’s in it for them
➡️ Share some big names that would be in the summit
Bad Outreach Experience
❌ Generic copy and paste emails
❌ Not giving value to the speaker’s expertise or value that they can add

Summits are by far one of the most powerful ways to quickly grow your list, launch your platform & make more money! (Even if you are just getting started).
Don’t get caught up in Analysis paralysis, because the world needs to hear your message & there are people who are waiting for you to help them.
So just get started. Imperfect action is always better than doing nothing!
