Growing Your Business When YOU Are the Business!
With Mark LeBlanc
Find out what you need to know and what you need to do, when it’s up to YOU to make it all work. Join us for our February meeting, with Mark LeBlanc, a past president of the National Speakers Association.
Mark will share keen insights, observations, and sound strategies that will make or break your speaking career. If you thought you had it all together, and your calendar isn’t where you want it to be, this is your must-attend meeting for jumpstarting your success in 2012!
You will discover:
- how to put more money in your pocket,
- how to position yourself for higher fees,
- how to create a marketing plan that gets you booked, and
- how to set up a system for staying focused on a daily basis.
Mark will share several of his turning points, as well as, some of his painful mistakes. He is one speaker you can listen to over and over again, and keep learning new things all the time.
Mark joined NSA in 1983, at the ripe old age of 22, and is now considered a seasoned veteran by many, and one of the few people that NSA professionals and legends turn to, for business advice and counsel.
Mark has special expertise on the core issues that business owners and professionals face on a daily basis. His flagship presentation and book, Growing Your Business! address how to sell more products and services. Attendees walk away feeling more focused, able to attract more prospects, stimulate more referrals, and ultimately, craft a plan for generating more business.
He runs Small Business Success. His book, Growing Your Business! has averaged one volume order (50+ copies) a week for the last 500 weeks. His newest book, Never be the Same, was inspired by walking the 500 mile, Camino de Santiago pilgrimage across Northern Spain.
He speaks to small business groups, and professional associations of all types, and is attracting the attention of corporate sales groups who want their people to think more like a business owner, than a salesperson. In addition, he has been sponsored by Siemens (13 bookings) and J.P. Morgan Chase Bank (15 bookings) to share his business development strategies to small business owners across the United States.
Mark founded the Small Business Success Coaching Network and has been successful in licensing his content and intellectual property.

10 Things I Learned About Making Money on My Way to Becoming a Professional Speaker
featuring Patricia Drain
In this presentation you will learn how Patricia became a professional speaker, came up with the “hot topics” that people hired her to speak about, but then realized she was leaving a lot of money on the table. Over the years she discovered that there is a pushy way to sell and an authentic way. She simply was not comfortable “selling herself” until she mastered that skill of authenticity.
You will walk away with 10 very clear ways to make the money you deserve as a speaker.
