INTENSE, POWERFUL
TWO - DAY PROGRAM

We’ll focus on 3 key areas of business development that you need knowledge of to build a powerful, profitable speaking enterprise: Speaking, Publishing and Media.

Speaking

Learn the difference between a traditional speaking business, where you get a check for giving a single speech, versus the new speaking model of speak to sell, where you get paid by your ability to sell your products and service to the attendees.

With the speak to sell model, you can generate larger revenues from audiences who will buy products and services from you directly.

Publishing

Learn the benefits and differences of the 3 types of publishing:

  1. Trade Publishing – with a major publishing company, where you get a portion of the profits
  2. Self-Publishing – where you become the publisher and get to keep all of the profits
  3. Hybrid Publishing – which is a mix of the two

Media

Learn how to grow your brand and your credibility with radio, television and social media.

Discover how to make money as a result of your media activities and the difference between earned, borrowed and owned media.

The
Rich Success Speaker
Symposium FAQS

Who will actually teach the symposium?

Dr. Willie Jolley.

Why is Dr. Jolley conducting speaking symposiums?

Everywhere he goes, Dr. Jolley is asked about getting into the speaking business. They want to do lunch or get on his calendar. That is not enough time to explain this business!

This business is too complex to learn in an hour, a month, a year or even several years! But, we offer free introductory materials at www.youcanspeaknow.com for people not ready to even “put their toe in the water.”

Yet, with a solid foundation of information, mentors and coaches, you can build a profitable speaking business.
And that requires an investment!

Remember, because you can speak, does not mean you are building a profitable business!

Is this symposium like Toastmasters?

No! Toastmasters tells you how to speak. The Rich Success Speaker Symposium teaches you how to get paid to speak!

Is this an entry level program?

This symposium is designed for people who want to become better at selling their ideas, programs and/or products.

This is NOT for people who have a fear of speaking, or no clue about their passion or their basic message, and/or not willing to invest the time and energy in learning this craft.

This specific symposium (with a marketing focus) is one in a series; designed to help you get started on the path to speaking professionally.

There are so many speaking programs out there. Why choose yours?

There are thousands of speaking programs out there. That allows you to pick the ones that will work for you.

Consider these points before making your selection:

  1. Research the instructors. Do they make their living speaking professionally or are they professional instructors only?
  2. What plan and/or resources will you take away that will help you build your business.
  3. Is there ongoing access to the instructor and/or their community?
  4. Are you sitting and watching or actively participating in your learning?

Do I get to ask questions?

You may ask any questions! Our symposiums have small group settings. Each person can get individual attention.

What will I take away from your symposium?

  • Clarity of your speaking message and/or passion
