Testimonial


"Hi, I'm Barbara Berg, and I'm the author of How to Escape the No-Win Trap, and What To Do When Life is Driving You Crazy! And let me tell you, when life is driving you crazy, you'll want to call Terry Green. She is the finest assistant I've ever had. And, I'll tell you, even though she is across the country from me ... I'm in California, she's in Ohio ... I don't think I'd have any hope in getting further along with my website, speeches and everything else I'm doing without Terry...Let me tell you that she's a wonderful person, and professional, and she's always there.  So, Terry, I just want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to give you a testimonial, as you help me every day. Thanks again!"

Sunny San DiegoThis issue of Speak Up and Make Money! is a little bit late this month; but I have a great excuse. I just returned home this morning from sunny San Diego after spending the last four days hanging out at the 2007 NSA Convention. What a turn out! As a Virtual Assistant, almost all of my contact with my clients and everyone else I meet is just that ... virtual. The majority of my interaction is limited to email, instant messaging or phone conversations, so having the opportunity to spend 4 days at an event with 1,100+ speakers and a host of exhibitors and vendors has been a real treat. It was a wonderful opportunity to make lots of new connections, follow up with some long overdue face-to-face connections, meet some of my favorite vendors, and even run into a couple of my clients.Jack Barnard & Susan Levin I have to say a huge "Thank you very much!" to Susan Levin of Speaker Services for letting me tag along and hang out at the Speaker Services booth. Here is a photo of Susan Levin and Jack Barnard at the booth.

When the last issue of Speak Up & Make Money hit your inbox, I was just returning from another great Speaker Summit held in Los Angeles May 3-5. Susan Levin of Speaker Services and Jack Barnard outdid themselves with an outstanding program and a  stellar line-up of presenters. It was an amazing weekend!  The wealth of information from the summit was so good that Susan pulled in a group of her presenters and resources for a special Speaker Summit teleconference series in June ... and if you missed the teleconference too, never fear ... the recordings are available! Visit  http://speakerservices.com/teleclasses/detail/78 to find out what you missed and how you can get your hands on the recordings.

Twelve Questions to Ask Yourself Before a Presentation
By Karen Susman Speaker, Author, Coach

Before every presentation, big or small, ask yourself these questions. You'll create a more effective presentation and reduce your stress. Many of these questions work well with one on one presentations, too. So, the next time you go in ask for a raise or to interest your customer in buying the new X4Z02 Snazzarama model, go through these questions.

  1. Do I really know this audience and what it wants and needs to hear? If not, ask questions of your host and participants until you do. Do this way in advance of planning and right before your session.
     
  2. Do I have just three to five main points? Don't overwhelm your audience with everything you know. Besides, if you are invited to speak again, what will you have left to say?
