Why Come To A Live Event Like Summit Fest Live

          👉     Virtual is great, but we also need to build relationships and community and that happens best in person

          👉     When we are live there is magic in the air and opportunities that come

          👉     We need some motivation and inspiration in our lives

          👉     Our speakers know that they are expected to bring the goods, over deliver on the strategy, hang out and mingle with the tribe and of course NO PITCHING FROM STAGE

Objections

          ❔     I’m only doing one summit, why come to a live conference:

• First off, you won’t want to just do one summit when you figure out how powerful and successful they are
• If you come to the conference your next summit will almost be guaranteed to be more successful than if you hadn’t
• You’ll learn at this conference how to quickly, efficiently, & successfully launch multiple summits a year without spending a ton of time and energy to do it  

          ❔     I have to pay for travel and a place to stay when I come to a live conference:

• You get to actually connect with real, live human beings and make connections that you just can’t possibly do virtually
• That is important to business, you need to do it
• The partnerships that you could create, the opportunities that may be generated, and the increase in success of your summit will easily pay back many times over the costs you invest to be at the live conference

          ❔    I already go to business conferences in my industry:

• You should definitely go to those in your niche, but when you mingle with people from different niches, industries, & levels of success it gives you inspiration, ideas, and opportunities to create things that you wouldn’t get, or even think of by going to the same conference over and over again
• This is not about specifically growing your business
• These are tips, tools, tactics, and strategies all things summits.  How to host a summit, how to create more leads, how to get creative on your summits, new summit ideas, things that are working, and things that are no longer working
• The monetization. How to create successful summit offers, and then post summit profits strategy, plus all the opportunities to monetize from hosting summits

          ❔     I am not a summit expert:

• You don’t have to be a summit expert to come to the conference
• All you need is to have a passion to get your message out to the world and make an impact
• We will show you all the ways to successfully do that with all the different types of Virtual Summits, and the ever evolving strategies and tactics that happen

"I believe in YOU & YOU can do this."

Summits are by far one of the most powerful ways to quickly grow your list, launch your platform & make more money! (Even if you are just getting started).

Don’t get caught up in Analysis paralysis, because the world needs to hear your message & there are people who are waiting for you to help them. 

So just get started.  Imperfect action is always better than doing nothing!

Thank you and see you on the next episode!
