About Chris Krimitsos
Chris brings the unique perspective of success from both sides of an event. He understands the challenges of the organizer that needs to move an audience, having himself facilitated over 2,000 events that have brought together business owners, toward economic growth, under the umbrella of Tampa Bay Business Owners, which he founded in 2008. That success regionally was the springboard to launching a national event, Podfest Multimedia Expo, which he grew to over 975 attendees in just five years, with an expectation of 1,500-plus in year six, thanks to his ability to communicate key messaging to that community.

Chris' 3 Cs
👉 Community

👉 Content (Quality Content)
When Is Your Audience The Most Excited

-
They're most excited right before they're about to attend the event
-
They pay the most attention to your messaging
What Contributed To The Success Of His Event
➡️ Speaking to all his speakers before the event and explaining their culture and ethos
➡️ Empowered the attendees to set up their own meetups in the community section of the application that they’re using
➡️ Not setting up a lot of rules to punish the one person that winds up punishing everybody else
Golden Nugget From Chris
👉 “Building the relationship is more important than your prices.”
Chris' Recommendation
✔️ “You're not going to get as many sales after so you want to push up before the summit as hard as you can to get the sales in because that's when they're the most excited.”

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!
