STAGE TO PAID
How to monetize the stage and leverage speaking to grow your business — even if you're just starting out, you've been speaking for years, or you don't have a big following.
Free to attend. Live, with a replay for registrants only.
GETTING PAID TO SPEAK AND MAKING MONEY FROM SPEAKING ARE NOT NECESSARILY THE SAME THING.
You don't need hundreds of speaking engagements under your belt to start making money from speaking.
And if you've already been speaking for years, getting booked regularly — or even getting paid to speak — there's a good chance you're leaving money, authority and opportunity on the table.
Because the speaking fee is only ONE way to make money from the stage. In fact, it may not even be the most lucrative one.
"Join Lori Granito for Stage to Paid, a free live masterclass revealing how smart speakers use the stage to build authority, create demand and generate revenue — before, during and long after the applause stops."
WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER
In this live training, Lori Granito and her team will show you:
The 3 Big Monetization Mistakes
The 3 mistakes that keep good speakers from making real money from speaking — and the one almost everyone makes before they say their first word.
The Best-Paid Speaker Secrets
Why the best-paid speaker in the room is rarely the best speaker in the room — and what they understand about the business of speaking that most people don't.
Beyond The Speaking Fee
The surprising way speakers actually make money from the stage. It may have nothing to do with the speaking fee itself.
3 Types of Speaking Stages
Speak for free, pay to play, and get paid to speak — and when EACH can be a smart business decision (and when you should walk away).
Turn Rooms into Pipelines
Why a packed room can send you home with zero clients — and the small shift that can turn the exact same room into a pipeline of opportunities.
Instant Google Credibility
What buyers, event bookers and potential clients look for the moment they Google you — and the professional proof most speakers are missing.
High-Value Stage Assets
Why photos, video, testimonials and other assets you walk away with can be worth more than the check — and how to use them to build authority, credibility and demand long after the event is over.
The TEDx Advantage
The one thing a TEDx talk can do before you ever get on a call. It's one of the reasons many of Lori's premium clients arrive already knowing who she is, what she does and why they want to work with her.
0 to 5-Figure Roadmap
The path from getting paid nothing to generating five figures from speaking — even if you've never been paid to speak before.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Whether you've never stepped onto a professional stage, you're already speaking but struggling to monetize it, or you've been speaking for years and know you should be getting more from every opportunity, Stage to Paid will show you how to think differently about the business of speaking.
NEW & ASPIRING SPEAKERS
You have something worth saying and want to understand how to turn speaking into more than applause and "exposure."
ESTABLISHED SPEAKERS
You're already getting booked — maybe you're even getting paid — but you suspect you're leaving money, authority and opportunity on the table.
COACHES, CONSULTANTS, ENTREPRENEURS & EXPERTS
You don't necessarily want to become a full-time professional speaker. You want to use speaking strategically to build your authority, attract clients, create opportunities and grow your business.
SPEAKERS READY FOR BIGGER OPPORTUNITIES
You know being good on stage isn't enough. You need the credibility, professional proof and assets that show other people you belong there.
"You don't need hundreds of speaking engagements under your belt to start making money from speaking. And you don't need to become a celebrity speaker to make the stage an important part of your business.
You need to understand how to make every stage worth more."
