037: Speaking at Summits to Grow Your Business with Jenn Zellers

Focal Tangent: Perspectives That Shift

One of the most effective ways to connect, learn, and expand your network is through attending virtual summits. A virtual summit brings together industry experts, business leaders, and speakers together online. All these experts talk on or discuss a specific topic. Attendees also register online to attend these summits. These events have become wildly popular and can connect people from all over the world! As an entrepreneur, speaking at a summit can bring incredible growth opportunities. In 2020 I co-hosted my first ever branding and mindset focused summit and I can attest that both the speakers and the hosts got an uplift in leads, referrals and growth opportunities. There is a strategic approach to it all and today we're going to dive into speaking at summits to grow your business with special guest Jenn Zellers, virtual Summit Alchemist and founder of the Virtual Summit Search.

Jenn empowers servant-hearted online business owners to create more reach and impact by extending the lifespan of their one-hit-wonder virtual summit speaking and hosting experiences. Through the Virtual Summit Search directories, she connects attendees with awesome summits, as well as hosts with speakers and service providers to help make their summit even more amazing. The Virtual Summit Search team also works with hosts to evergreen their summits to get ongoing leads and sales, and with speakers to make the most of their summit presentations to grow their email list and get more sales - all without being sleazy or gross!
