How to Get the Most Referrals and Testimonials

With The Speaker Lab

Once you’ve given your speech the next step often becomes how to get the most referrals and testimonials after you’ve given a speech. Today we’re going to walk you through the best ways to do this.

On episode 172 of The Speaker Lab, I’m joined by my co-host Melanie Deziel again. In case you missed our introduction of Melanie last week she’s a successful speaker who came over from the corporate world after discovering her love of public speaking.

Today she speaks and consults full-time and is also a coach for students in The Speaker Lab programs. As a former TSL alum, she is the perfect person to help other budding speakers gain their chops.

On this edition of the show, we’re covering what to do after your speech, how to request feedback, how to ask for testimonials, referrals, videos, pictures and other marketing materials you can use to promote yourself. Join us for insights on all of these topics and more today on The Speaker Lab.
