Hi there,

 

I'm a pretty new business, but I want to get out there in a BIG way.  I emailed a few Small Business Development Organizations in my area with interest in speaking to their audience on my topic of Leveraging your Time and Business with a Virtual Assistant.

Out of 7 places I emailed I booked meetings with 2 people.  My first is a face to face meeting this Saturday with the Founder of a Non-profit focusing on Women's Small Business Education.  I'm a little nervous and a lot excited about the possibility of hosting some seminars or workshops.

I went from low man on the totem pole employee to Business Owner.  How do I knock my meeting out of the park?  I would love to hear any advice, tips, do's and don'ts.

I would really appreciate any feedback because I feel that including speaking will catapult my business very quickly and could potentially make my business and give me a lot of exposure in front of all the right people.

Definitely be direct and not play around the point. You have to let them feel that this is actually a legitimate business and not just like many care-free business that they have grown accustomed to. 

 

Good luck with your business!
