About this event

Dave & Antoinette here to tell you about the huge value at our next Fellows event before The Speaking Business Summit Conference.

Please diary and book on for Thursday 9th October.

We have invited some industry experts to help us. Some are not professional speakers as their living, but either hire us, manage us, or have expertise that can really help us. You asked for these subjects, and we have delivered.

PHIL JESSON – Become an inspirational partner

Would you like to see 80% of your speaking business coming from 20% of your clients…year after year? Then this key account management session is just for you. Phil will explain the strategies and skills needed to become an inspirational partner rather than an ordinary supplier

GAVIN REBELLO – Booking speakers for conferences.

A serial entrepreneur in his own right, and one of the leads in helping secure speakers and trainers for a busy L&D / conferences and events team within a large company.

JANE GUNN – Dealing with challenges as a speaker, and in life.

Many of us know and love Jane from her years in PSA, and today she will share some of her wisdom around how we can better navigate the business and life challenges we all face from time to time. janegunn.co.uk

ROY SMOOTHE – Personal brand, reputation building, and things “smooth”.

Roy has helped build Global brands, and close multi-million dollar deals through creating unique and “stand out” brands for companies and individuals. He has worked with some of the biggest names in our industry, and has a “very” smooth take on how we can use music to enhance our brand. https://www.linkedin.com/in/roy-smoothe-7535392/

MARK PRESTON – Securing speaking gigs in this AI driven digital world

Known as the Digital Growth Speaker, Mark has over two decades (since 2001) of experience helping founders to grow their business – without the waste. Founders ‘waste’ far too much money on things that do not generate any positive impact.

We will also be having a Panel Q&A, and breakout discussions (What you have heard today that you will apply to your business?, What are you looking for from the conference?), as well as all the usuals you expect from a Fellows Forum.
