Episode notes

Selling from the stage doesn’t have to feel slimy if you do it right. In today’s episode, I sit down with my good friend Colin Boyd to talk about the secrets behind crafting a “signature talk” he uses to help Amy Porterfield and Brendon Burchard craft powerful keynotes and webinars that convert. Colin shares the exact framework he used to convert 12 out of 120 people from a single talk, and how one of his students used just one presentation a week to go from $2K/month to consistent $10K/month working part-time. We also dive deep into his signature strategies for speaking on stages, converting cold audiences, and removing the mindset blocks that make people freeze when it’s time to make an offer. Get ready to sell from the stage without feeling salesy!
