How We Get High Speaker Outreach Ratio
➡️ Connections
➡️ How we did our speaker outreach
Reaching Out To Speakers
❇️ Personal message
❇️ Personal video invites
❇️ Foreshadow your summit
Foreshadowing Your Summit
✔️ It lets people know that you have a summit coming
✔️ Social proof
✔️ Give people you're interviewing shouts out
✔️ Take pictures
✔️ Take notes
Why I Prefer Hybrid Interviews
👉 You can catch if they try and slip a promo in there that they're not supposed to
👉 You build the relationship with the speaker
👉 You're actually there learning from that person
Batching Your Sessions
➡️ Set up your Calendly or whatever your scheduler is
➡️ Only release a certain amount of days and a certain amount of times at first
➡️ As those start to fill out, increase a couple hours on each of that
➡️ You can either open up another day with a couple hours or extend those hours a little bit longer than you wait for those to fill up
➡️ Start with a small condensed sessions and then expand those by a few hours as you get more and more speakers
Two Things To Think About On Your Interviews
❇️ Pre-interview chat
-
What happens if the speaker's late?
❇️ Post interview chat
-
Promo clips
-
Any filming that has to happen after that
-
Any needed information
Pre-Interview Chat
✔️ Somewhere between 5 to 7 minutes
✔️ If you're using Zoom, give yourself a little bit of space in case you got to run to the bathroom or needed to take a drink, or if your speaker is late
✔️ If the speaker’s late, cut their session a bit shorter
✔️ Do not extend your time where you're going to end up running back into all of the other interviews
2 Thinks To Think About When Using Zoom
👉 File sizes
👉 Upload times
How To Prepare For An Interview
➡️ Have a perfect intro creator with a welcome flow for every single interview
➡️ Know what the interview is going to be about
➡️ Have an idea of what direction you want to take that session
➡️ Have your close like a pro planned out, mapped out for that person
➡️ Create time to prep
Reminder For Speakers
❇️ Don’t wait til last minute in submitting your forms
❇️ Get your stuff together in advance
❇️ Give the summit host what they need to crush your summit

I want to end this episode by saying,
"I believe in YOU & YOU can do this."
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!
Thank you and see you on the next episode!
