What Happens When You Get The Wrong Partner

π People not delivering value expected of them
Managing Deliverables

Ensuring Speakers Are Going To Share
βοΈ Understanding fundamentally what they are looking to get out of the summit
π Exposure
π Promoting their stuff
π Speaking on stage or a big event
Paddy Believes
βοΈ You have to be 100% sure that what youβre promoting has to add extreme value to your audience
βοΈ Think about, not just the speakers, but the audience as well
Creative Ideas For Our Summit Hosts
β‘οΈ Propose purchasing products at a discounted price then in exchange, offer to bring products at meetups and have them give a talk in person or online as a guest speaker
β‘οΈ Introductions - Power intros. Connect people through what they want
Paddy's Advice
βοΈ Don't make a rod for your own back
βοΈ One message, one person, one outcome and then deliver on it

I want to end this episode by saying,
"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).
Donβt 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!
