Following up with the meeting planner is crucial to your success as a
Speaker. I have listed a few ideas below to add to your arsenal and keep being pleasantly persistent with meeting planners!
- Send the latest media interview (TV, Radio, Podcast, etc) that you were a guest on to help showcase your expertise.
- Find out when their birthday is and send them a card in the mail.
- Send a copy of your latest blog post, white paper or if you host your own show, ask if they would like to be on your mailing list.
- Send them article of interest for their industry.
- If you are speaking near their area, invite them to be a guest to hear you first hand.
- Introduce them to industry contacts that would benefit them or their business.
- Send a followup email or conduct a call just to check in.
- Send a thank you note.
- Connect with them on social media outlets.
- Send a promotional item, or copy of your book as a gift.
