Talk Marketing To Me

With Conrad Close

This week on Talk Speaker To Me, Conrad Close, our Content Marketing Manager, will take the mic to teach us about what speakers should be pursuing in their marketing.

‘If you want to grow your speaking business, you need to master the three main areas of marketing.'”

In this episode, Conrad covers:

  • Why do you need a strong personal brand?
  • How should you use social media as a speaker?
  • What is SEO, and how do you win?

“If you don’t have a clear vision and you don’t have a clear why, and you don’t have a clear understanding of the value that you bring, your marketing will not work.”
