MenuWhat are some typical structures for conferences that have multiple coaches/speakers selling from stage?
I'm a speaker and coach. I'm planning an event with some other speakers and coaches and we're looking at having a few different offers from each coach on stage.
I'm wondering how, as the organizer, I should structure the affiliate deal, or how we can all sell from stage in a way that is complementary and mutually beneficial. I'd love to learn what kind of structures other speakers/coaches have seen in the past.

Hmmm... Is this a free or low-cost conference? I ask because attendees typically don't like paying good money for a conference and then being pitched on one's own services.
If it's low cost and it's made known in advance there will be special offers, etc, then I guess that's okay. I've never seen an affiliate share in that respect. But I have seen coaches speaking either for free or a low fee in exchange for the ability to pitch.
If you're the organizer, an easy + effective structure is for each speaker to create affiliate links for their products which pay you commission.
Then during conference, links paying you commissions are referenced on written materials + in electronic materials like PDFs, transcripts, related blog content.
Another effective technique is to offer a discount when these links are used + say these links will only be good during conference + for a few days after.
Group discussions, Role Play, Debates.
Typical structures for conferences are “Common Reasons for Poor Performance” and the multiple speakers are selling the solution. Take an example. A group of employees comes to you for help as they lack the required capabilities. In this situation, the employee simply does not have the needed capabilities to perform the job. They might not have asked for help, or they might have asked but not received it for some reason.
Improved performance will not be possible unless you can help this group of employees to acquire the needed capabilities. You may need to arrange for training programs, one-on-one assistance from another employee, or dedicated time with you to help get them to the right place.

Where can I find a business coach or mentor to help me gain clarity and direction in setting up a business?
Finding a coach is easy - there are many of them out there. Finding the right coach is the challenge. There are several factors to consider: Working with a coach that has similar experience in their background is not absolutely necessary, but can be very valuable. Having someone that can truly understand what you're trying to accomplish, and can empathize with the challenges you face, will help smooth communication. Coaching skills are equally important, though. Many experienced business people position themselves as "coaches", but they aren't actually very skilled at coaching - they're more likely to tell you what *they* would do, rather than truly help you dig deep and find the right answer for yourself. The result is that you end up pursuing your version of someone else's goal, or someone else's version of your goal. Neither is totally fulfilling. "Fit" is also really important. Personality, communication style, sense of humor... - these all factor in to the quality of a coaching relationship, and are very personal and unique to each coach. Take the time to meet several potential coaches and see who you connect with. Also, don't ever feel bad about saying "this just isn't working". I used to be very skeptical of coaching as a profession, for a number of reasons. Once I found the right coach, though, the experience was transformational for me, and pivotal to my success as an entrepreneur. I'd be happy to have a conversation to determine if there's a "fit". I work with dozens of entrepreneurs, having been one myself for over 12 years. I'm not right for everyone, though. You have to make that determination for yourself.Kris KelsoKK

What are ways to start / launch a coaching program targeted to healthcare professionals (helping them grow their practice)?
Assuming you are qualified to create this kind of offering, I think you can safely determine that there is need for this service. I know many doctors who struggle with the business of their practice and could benefit from coaching. That being said, if you believe this is an area you want to devote years of your life to, I would consider the infrastructure that will be required to support your success. Over time, you're going to want to build out the following (or a version thereof): Creating your brand identity Building your website Developing your funnel to generate leads Developing your pricing model Inbound marketing strategy and execution Social media strategy and execution Sales strategy Long-form content creation for email capture Short-form content creation for traffic generation SEO for organic traffic Advertising for paid traffic Presentation planning and coaching Possibly a book I would recommend thinking about as much of this ahead of time as possible to give yourself the greatest chance for success.Corey Michael BlakeCM

How can I find my niche for consulting?
Hello, I like how you have identified your passion and understand who you want your target audience to be. I have sold technology solutions for 6+ years to entrepreneurs and business owners- a big part of the selling process requires value-adding, which can only be achieved by understanding the minds of your target audience. To find a niche, you need to start by asking yourself what kind of value you can bring to your specific target audience of entrepreneurs or business owners. Everyone has limited attention span these days and unless you can figure out what these people care about and how your coaching/consulting services can benefit them, it will be difficult to connect and add value for the entrepreneurs. In short, you should determine your niche by figuring out what these folks care about and then hone your craft around providing value for those individuals. Happy to get on a phone call if you want to talk about specifics.

I'm a therapist looking to market myself and my OBGYN colleague for speaking engagements to women. What's the best way to start?
The route I'd take is to start researching conferences that you'd like to speak at. Find out where and when they occur. Look for a "call for proposals" — lots of conferences ask speakers to submit talk ideas. Find out who runs them. See if you have any mutual friends. If not, see if you can find a way to be helpful to them (without asking for anything in return). Building good will has paid me back many, MANY times over as a speaker. Look for local meetups. Maybe organize your own. Start to get experience as a speaker and build a reputation. It starts slow, but things ramp up quickly once momentum picks up. I used this approach to build my own speaking career. I'd be happy to share my strategy and story with you if you're interested. Good luck!Jason LengstorfJL
