Marilee Driscoll
“High Profit Products: How Every Speaker Can Create and Sell High-Profit Products”
Marilee Driscoll’ s concurrent session on this topic at the 2005 NSA national convention wasn’t even standing room only—there wasn’t that much room! When they stopped letting people in to her session, a group of about 20 people stayed in the hallway and listened to the session from there! The audio recording of Marilee’s session was the #3 bestseller-–out of 92!
From no product to average product order of $500, without pre-sales, back-of-room, corporate sales or platform selling! It’s a steep learning curve, but it just takes know-how–not money–to get started. Attendees will get ideas for new products and/or how to repackage and promote current products to make them more profitable.
Session Objectives:
Discover why people will pay either NOTHING or $500+ for the same info.
How to package YOUR information into a $500+ product.
Debunk the misconceptions and psychological blocks that impair your ability to develop high-margin products.
Learn how product development is not only a way to increase revenue, but a way to discover new speaking topics, audiences and even industries.
Most speakers think that “product” means having a book. When it comes to products, books are the lowest-margin, lowest-priced item that you can offer (so, why would you?). Speakers need ways to boost their income while using the work they’ve already done. You can repackage the same information in different ways and your bank account will reap the rewards.
Note: Marilee has graciously offered 1-hour, private consultations in N. Phoenix Monday after the presentation, February 11. She has discounted her regular $350 fee to $250 per hour and has also generously offered to donate $50 per hour to our chapter. Go to http://www.Speaker123.com now to sign up. For members who may not be able to see Marilee in person on February 11, she will offer phone consultations provided they are done within 30 days of the meeting.
