Things We Learned From This Episode

 1. The moment Pete fell in love with the stage and saw the power of speaking (07:26 – 09:47)

After having a difficult relationship with his father for years, Chris became a youth minister. His ministry helped a lot of people through counseling and great speakers. There was one particular speech and message that caused Pete to experience a turnaround. His relationship with his father was healed because of that message that was the day, and Pete became passionate about the stage.

 

2. How to speed up the sales cycle (22:54 – 24:16)

All business owners have to one-on-one conversations with potential clients, so why not turn that into one-to-many conversations through the stage? Instead of talking to one person and dealing with a long sales cycle, we can create a talk that is phenomenal, drives content home, and delivers the message to hundreds of people. This can expedite the sales cycle significantly.

 

3. Why being good on stage is only one third of the whole game (24:57 – 27:17)  

There are 3 things that go into making sure being great on the stage translates to more business: being good at the speaking, getting ourselves to the stage, and then scaling past the stage. All three of these need to be dialed in for it to work.

 

There’s no question that being on stage will advance our businesses. People are buying from people they trust. Considering that the online space is crowded and people are craving real connections with the people they buy from, getting in a room with people and having their undivided attention is so powerful. There’s so much value in having a face and a story to tell, creating trust, helping people and being impactful. If we want to create that killer talk, we have to think about more than the stage. We must consider the systems around what we do and the products we sell. We have to build our talks based on the steps we take to move our clients from ordinary to extraordinary.
