*Offer your services as a corporate trainer to small and large groups within companies, organizations, association groups, schools, state and federal agencies, governments, and even churches.
* Speak or offer to deliver a keynote address to companies for meetings, corporate retreats, conventions, and conferences, etc.
* Offer to speak for groups or offer a keynote address for non-corporate groups, nonprofit groups and conferences. Associations, professional groups and clubs such as Rotary International, schools, and universities, don't pay well (if at all), but decision makers are often in the room and they can hire you on the spot for top fees to train their companies or departments. These no/low fee speaking assignments are generally around 20 to 40-minutes in length, and you will always make great contacts. In fact, generally, the group organizers may invite you to have lunch with them as their guest on the day you speak. Granted the food is always very average fare (typically chicken and vegetables), but I've met some very influential people during that lunch that made it worth my while.
* Create a consulting practice as an Etiquette Coach: One-on-one personal sessions with a client in person or, on the phone (coaching sessions are less than 90 minutes). Often times, employees are 'sentenced' to etiquette coaching because an employee has rough edges (poor dresser, poor communication skills, difficulty with other associates, can't close a deal, etc.). |
