My fellow expert and peer, Andrew Frazier (founder of the Small Business Pro University) will be leading this presentation.
Accessing Capital is a significant challenge for most entrepreneurs, but it doesn’t have to be.
Generally, the more revenue, profits, and time in business they have the easier it is to obtain financing, but not necessarily.While it seems like financing would be simple, it generally ends up being much harder than anyone would expect. Financing a business is both an art and a science that few business owners understand well regardless of how long they have been in operation.
Using the P.R.A.Y. System significantly increases the likelihood and magnitude of financing you will get regardless of industry or size.
The participants in this webinar will learn about the following topics...
• The Top 10 Reasons why most businesses can’t get financing.
• The P.R.A.Y. System to increase your likelihood and magnitude of financing.
• Key components of the small business financing landscape.See you at the webinar,

https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0tfuqvrzkjGNHh_2ie30xCGG7Im42vkE9hOn this highly informative online workshop for speakers and coaches Debbie Allen (international speaker coach) and Lea Woodford (media coaching expert) will show you how to create one of the most important marketing tools you can have to get you booked and paid to speak consistently.
On this virtual workshop you will learn how to best promote your teachings, speaking style, expertise and experience with video … so that meeting planners and prospects will pick YOU over your competitors.
Your reputation as a speaker and coach hinges on trust and credibility. How you market yourself on video is your proverbial calling card for both meeting planners and the media. In fact, media interviews stand as a powerful emblem of your authority. When a journalist or podcast host invites you to share your knowledge on their platform, it implicitly acknowledges your status as a trusted expert in your field.
Learn How To:
· Select the best content to stand out quickly to grab a meeting planner’s attention over other speakers.
· Avoid random stories and fluff that distracts from your message.
· Enhance your credibility as an expert by sending a clear message that you've earned recognition from a respected source.
· Effectively communicate your expertise and teaching points to a diverse audience.
· Dramatically increase your booking potential and become recognized as the go-to expert by validating your content.
· Gain the competitive edge over numerous speakers, coaches and experts who vie for limited speaking and media opportunities.
· Build trust with media endorsements as a form of validation. This third-party validation carries significant weight with event planners, audiences and prospects.Register for Zoom Meeting & Return to Join Us Live at on Date/Time Above …
