WHY YOUR AUDIENCE BENEFITS
A typical audiences is being asked to listen to a stranger, absorb their message and apply that to their lives. That is no small “ask.”
In order for that exchange to happen they need to know, like and trust you. Humor can let them into your point of view, your faults and your obstacles like no other tool. If they can laugh WITH you, they can learn FROM you.Employing laughter will keep both you and the audience engaged. Laughter releases endorphins, creates goodwill and increases the chance that your points will be remembered.
And, if your message generates the desired results, the client will hire you over and over again. I’ve seen it happen firsthand and absolutely LOVE the fact that I have “clients for life” because they connected with me – and my message – through humor. You can do the same.
WHY YOUR BANK ACCOUNT BENEFITS
- Clients who rebook you to speak multiple times are an incredible resource.
- You incur no additional costs of acquisition.
- They are more easily approachable to ask for references and referrals.
- They often encourage you to try out new programs.
- And they are perfect candidates for video testimonials.
All of this adds up to more dollars in the bank. Funny equals money!
