| Money Talks: How to Make a Million as a Speaker by McGraw-Hill Not Your typical Presentation Book |
When I found this book, I got it from Library and after checking it out numerous times, Alan Weiss book has found a permanent place in my Library.
First of all, his writing style is frank and to the point. This book is all substance and no fluff. He focuses on speaking as a profession that provides a service. All of his advice is real world relevant. He gives straight advice regarding speakers bureaus, marketing material and his insight on how to get booked for speaking events. Out of all of the hundreds of books written on making money speaking-This is the definitive guide. |
| Money Talks: How to Make a Million as a Speaker by McGraw-Hill This Advice Worked For Me |
Thanks to the ideas in the book Money Talks and the training from Alan Weiss I have added an extra $100,000 to my income this year. But understand, Alan Weiss is a contrarian and if you are afraid of trying bold strategies that will separate you from the pack, then don't bother. If you want to make real money as a speaker, author, and consultant, then you need to apply his teachings today. I recommend him to all my students and workshop attendees. I am not a newbie at this. I am the author of the books Self-Marketing Secrets and Client Seduction and I teach marketing at UC San Diego and the New Client Marketing Institute. I read Money Talks over and over again to get new ideas.--Henry DeVries

| Money Talks: How to Make a Million as a Speaker by McGraw-Hill The truth about the speaking business |
A friend of mine loaned me this book and I started reading it. By the time I got to the 3rd chapter, I went ahead and ordered it of off Amazon!
No B.S., no sugar-coating it. Just the facts about how to make serious money in the speaking business. What you should do and what you should NOT do (sometime even more important).
The yin and yang of the speaking world would be Speak & Grow Rich by Dottie Walters and Money Talks by Alan Weiss. Both coming from different directions, but both equally as important.
Get it! |
