How my small summit still achieved big results - Summit Conversations #12 4:53

4 days ago4:53

4:53

“It can still be an amazing and fulfilling event, even if it’s small” That was a sentence I scribbled down in my summit debrief doc on the 2nd day of my recent summit. It was a more impactful realization and experience than I expected! Of course big numbers are exciting, but a small summit definitely doesn’t mean that you failed. In this episode, I’m sharing how my recent "small" summit still delivered impressive results - including hitting my revenue goals! I'll walk you through how I shifted my focus from obsessing over registration numbers to creating an exceptional experience for attendees and why a smaller, more engaged audience can sometimes lead to stronger connections and higher conversion rates. Whether you're planning your first summit or your tenth, my hope is that this video will help you redefine what success looks like for your virtual events.

The 2nd week slump during summit promotion - Summit Conversations #08 6:45

5 weeks ago6:45

6:45

The "2nd week slump" is traditionally the quietest period of summit promotion. While I love to share the benefits that summits bring and how fun most of the process is, I also want to be transparent about the less glamorous side. So I recorded a short video sharing a behind-the-scenes look at: The typical pattern of registrations you'll see throughout summit promotion. What my energy is like during the slump. A pattern my coach and I have noticed in my energy when I do any launch (not just a summit). The actions I take each day to keep things moving in the right direction, even during slow periods. What I do to keep my energy up when those tasks are done (and no, it isn't "rest") .

5 weeks ago9:46

9:46

I've heard a lot of people say over the years that summits only work when you have an audience of business owners. But that couldn't be further from the truth. If you target a B2C (business-to-consumer) audience, I'm happy to tell you that B2C summits tend to work even *better* than summits for business owners. I'm breaking down the reasons for that in today's episode along with sharing a long list of some of the B2C audiences we've helped clients host summits for!

289: Use Gamification to Boost Summit Engagement with Kimba Cooper-Martin 37:49

8 weeks ago37:49

37:49

You might think of gamification as a strategy that can make your life or business more "fun". But as this week's guest, Kimba, shared the truth is, "fun" isn't a business objective and gamification is so much more than that! In fact, in the world of summits you can use gamification in your marketing, sessions, live show-up rates, community engagement, all-access pass sales, affiliate promotion, speaker motivation, and so much more.

In this episode, you'll hear why I dislike the traditional sponsorship approach, where my current approach originated, how I filled my sponsorship spots with our upcoming summit, how I created my sponsorship packages, and what to consider if you've never offered sponsorships before.
