The Program:
Did you ever wonder what it takes to be a celebrity and sell tickets to public performances in theaters? Do you think your signature story (or stories) would make a great one-person show for the general public?
Selling to the public is different from selling to companies and corporations. The strategies are different, the marketing and sales are different, and the payday is different. You can go in the hole or make three times what you make from a corporate keynote. But you have to know how to do it right.
Jeanne and Al have partnered to promote sold-out theater shows across the country and nurture a tribe of fans that have yielded over 54 million YouTube views and more than 150K Facebook Likes. Learn what it takes to master the craft, the business skills and the media savvy to achieve untold success beyond usual speaking markets.
Jeanne had been a very successful convention speaker for 47 years when in 2010, she was approached by Al about doing her “shows” in theaters and other public venues. Jeanne, with Al’s assistance, now routinely sells out theaters across the country while amassing a huge fan base.
You will learn how to:
- amass raving fans who will cross state lines — and bring oodles of their pals — to get to see you perform.
- work with theaters to ensure you make money
- entice your fans to buy tickets before sales are open to the public
- produce must-have products and giveaways
