Ultimate Speakers Network Presents Jeff Orr

Ultimate Speakers Network JeffJeff Orr is a Leadership Performance Coach, Transformational Speaker, and Author. His passion is to help leaders, business owners, and individuals experience true success in their career and life through one-on-one coaching, energetic and engaging keynote speaking engagements, leadership retreats, seminars, and his book, Succeed In The New Normal.


Who is your ideal audience?
I speak to leaders, business owners, and people in transition – whether in their current employment, leadership model, business model, or personal life – anyone who is struggling to succeed but not getting where they want to go.


What are 3 problems you solve?
1. I help someone identify and understand what is most important to them, and to intentionally pursue those areas to experience true success in their career, business, and life.
2. I help business owners build deeper relationships with existing clients, and how to build new, profitable relationships.
3. I help leaders identify areas of strength as well as growth areas to improve their effectiveness with their teams, and experience new levels of success in team building, communication, and moving their organization forward.


What are 3 things that make you really UNIQUE?
1. I ask thought-provoking questions.
2. I am honest and genuine (what you see is what you get).
3. I utilize humor and story to engage people in a learning experience.


What has been your speaking experience?
I have been speaking to audiences since I was 16 years old. I started as a recording artist in a rock band and wanting to communicate more deeply with the audience. Over the years, the audiences and circumstances have changed (from music to keynotes) but my passion for engaging, entertaining, and educating my audience has never changed. The best experiences I have as a speaker are when someone grabs hold of one transformational truth in what I have communicated and applies it to their life.


What do you love most about speaking to audiences?

I love the immediate connection and reaction I get as I communicate. I see it in their eyes and in their body language when they are tracking with what I am saying. I love the challenge when someone doesn’t seem to be understanding and I have to think on my feet to communicate differently.

What would be the #1 tip you would give to other speakers?
Know your audience. The better you know and understand the culture, language, stressors, hopes, and dreams of the audience, the more clear your communication can be.


How would people connect with you?

Tools


Tips


Where to Start


Key pieces to remember


Comments from our Attendees:


Milena Joy with Milena Consulting stated to book an appointment after getting paid. She also enjoys offering a special at the end of each speaking engagement to create more business.


JP Butler with Quantum Leadership says to do a free speaking engagement only if you can have it recorded and then placed online for marketing purposes.


Bruce Daughtery says that free equals PR. It may not be what you want but a good way to get your foot in the door with ideal people to work with.


Steve Burns expanded on this and has a great plan of action. He will speak for free if it is his target audience to do business with, has referral slips that also have feedback on them. He follows up on them and has landed contracts of $72,000 after doing this.


Terminology is important when promoting yourself. Are you giving a lecture, coaching or simply speaking.


JP Butler talked about finances and what to charge. Be aware of peoples needs and the economy.


Steve Burns has found that being a leader in the Chamber has helped him in his speaking career.


Janice talked about asking a firm what their budget is. It does not mean you need to take the offer, but some firms have an idea of what they want to pay. She did state that sometimes by speaking for free, a firm may pay for your whole trip and that can be valuable to some speakers to have a free vacation. She also stated the importance of new connections when speaking.


Bruce Daughtery talked about the importance of obtaining testimonials. He also talked about obtaining sponsors for you to go out and speak.


Steve Burns discussed the value of asking people would you like me to come speak at your firm? Once you have a warm referral, it is much easier to reach out to a company. Oh, and he also asks do you know of firms that could use my services.


Tom stated that when you do speak, to create a mini presentation online and to promote it on social networking.


The whole group agreed that staying in touch is valuable and to utilize a service such as Mailer Connect to keep track of it.


JP Butler stated if you do speak for free, make sure some benefit to you such as a video.


Mark Entrekin says it can be good to do a free speaking engagement as long as you are able to sell something at the end, build your database and pass out your information.

Ultimate Speakers Network Presents Larry Wolff

I am passionate about helping people.  I took my first C-level position because I realized I could help 5,000 employees and then they could help our customers. I use this passion to show companies how to translate vision into measurable results.



Who is your ideal audience?



Senior executives in companies ranging from $20 million to over $1 billion in revenue.



What are 3 problems you solve?



Alignment. Alignment. Alignment. We show companies how to get the entire workforce aligned with the business strategy to drive breakthrough performance. We help technology organizations get aligned with business strategy to deliver unprecedented value. We get project teams aligned with strategic goals to get struggling projects back on track and deliver maximum value. And we help entrepreneurs align vision and execution to build successful businesses.


What are 3 things that make you really UNIQUE?


Experience, knowledge and passion.  I have more than 20 years of executive leadership experience and a great track record of turnarounds and growth. I’ve refined my knowledge, gleaned from some of the best of the best, and turned that into proprietary techniques that really help my customers. And I have great passion for helping people and companies succeed.  It’s an amazing feeling when you see an employee light up because his or her idea became part of the company strategy. And it’s fantastic to see a CEO proudly explaining the company’s improved results to the board of directors.


What has been your speaking experience?


I’ve spent a career speaking in front of executive teams, boards of directors and large departments.  I’ve spoken at a few conferences and want to do more of that.



What do you love most about speaking to audiences?



I love to help people and I love to teach and coach. It’s amazing to see a room full of people light up when they see hope in the face of perceived disaster or when they see that there is a viable, understandable solution to their biggest business challenges.



What would be the #1 tip you would give to other speakers?



Be authentic.  Be yourself.  Speak from the heart, with passion.



How would people connect with you?
