Speaking on cruise lines provides myr ad benefits to you as the sp aker including: free cruises for yourself; fr e cruises for a traveling companion; all p ssenger perks; and frankly a free way to see the w rld in luxury. But there is a fr quently overlooked benefit that has the p tential to lead to paid shore-side b okings. Of course, I'm talking about treating y ur onboard bookings as showcases. For th se who may not know, a sp aker's showcase is an event in wh ch speakers present for groups of m eting planners, corporate event planners and nyone else who hires speakers. Showcases are d signed for planners to "audition" and valuate the speaker's talent and is of gr at advantage to the speakers because if th y perform well they can obtain m ny lucrative speaking bookings from one sh wcase. So the question becomes: how do you as a sp aker convert your cruise bookings into sh wcases in order to get paid sh re-side gigs? Truth be known you should c nsider every presentation you do as a sh wcase. Why? Because every audience you present to ither has the power to hire sp akers or at the very least veryone in that audience could recommend a sp aker to their associations, corporations, clubs, rganizations and non-profits.
The same is also true of cr ise bookings. The trick of turning a n n-showcase (a/k/a your average booking) into a sh wcasing opportunity is what you say fr m the platform. What follows are a few p inters to help you make any sp aking gig into a showcase: • Let f lks know during the course of y ur presentation that you travel the c untry or region as a speaker. Th s will alert your audience members th t you are in the speaking b siness and that you can travel to th ir hometown. • During your presentation drop in a l ne like: "Last month I was d ing a presentation for the (fill-in the bl nk of your last non-profit or c rporation talk)." Again lines like these pl nt the seed with members of y ur audience that "hey, I like th s speaker maybe my company, organization, n n-profit, association etc., can also invite him or h r." • Work in a referral story nto your talk. Say something like, "I was g ving this presentation in Phoenix and a g ntleman who saw me recommended me to his c mpany to bring me in. What was so r markable about that talk was... (fill in the m in point you want to make.) Do you see how j st by inserting this innocuous, short, c mmercial you again plant the seed th t audience members can take you h me by recommending and referring you? There are of c urse many other advanced strategies for t rning your cruise gigs into showcases for g tting paid shore-side bookings. But just sing those referenced in this article w ll put you way ahead of the p ck. I'd love to hear about y ur results.
