Corporate gigs are the BEST… and the worst?

On one hand, corporate gigs tend to pay the highest fees for speaking. So, if you can find a way to consistently land these clients, your bank account will filled to the brim.

If you’re running a side consulting or service-based business, it’s an easy thing to earn spin-off revenue from corporate gigs. This happens when bigwigs come up to you after a talk and say...

“Wow! Can you help us actually do that in our business?”  

Cha-ching!

So, why are they the worst?  

🏦
Well, corporate gigs tend to lead to very few stageside leads and referrals – simply because you’re speaking to a group of people who all work within the same corporation.

Your best chances of earning a referral happen when an employee at a corporation leaves their job… goes to a different corporation… and then recommends you to their new boss. 

And that takes a looong time.

Yup… you’re witnessing the corporate gigs dilemma.
