  My Seminar In Africa (A True Story)

_______________________________________


Several years ago I was contacted by a
person in Kenya, Africa who invited me
to come and speak to some African
business executives.

It was a strange request.

I had never been approached by anyone in
Africa for a speaking or consulting
engagement.

He asked me if I had ever been to Africa
and if I was interested in visiting his
country.

I told him, "No," I had never visited
Africa and that I thought it would be
cool as heck to come to Africa.

So in his next email he made me...

...An Offer I Could Not Refuse!

He said, "David, if you come and do a 2
day marketing seminar in Africa, I'll...

1. Pay your flight over here

2. Cover your hotel costs

3. Send you on a first rate African
safari

and...

4. I'll even throw in a scuba diving
trip at a high end resort in Mombasa."

I'm like...."Where do I sign up!!!"

So just like he promised, he flew me
over to Nairobi, Kenya in Africa.

I did a 2 day marketing seminar. There
were some very impressive executives in
attendance.

One fellow was the head of marketing for
Firestone tires in West Africa.

Another gentleman was the CEO of the
largest newspaper in Uganda.

A third fellow owned and operated one of
the largest soap factories in Kenya.

They were all very bright business
people and I had a blast with them.

Here's a slideshow from that seminar

This turned out to be one of the funnest
trips I'd ever been on.

So Why Am I Telling You This?
________________________________


There's a very important seminar
marketing strategy to learn from this
experience.

And it just might apply to you.

Would you like to hold a seminar, but
you just don't have the money to pay all
the big fees that well known speakers
demand?

That's the exact position that Peter
Kahihu, of the Strategic Leadership
Center in Kenya was in.

Peter knew that he couldn't afford the
large fees that big speakers require to
come and speak.

So he offered something of value in
exchange, a trip to Africa and a real
African safari.

He's been able to attract quite a few,
well known speakers this way.

How Can This Apply to You?
______________________________


If you would like to hold a seminar and
would like to attract top rated speakers
but you don't have the money to pay
their fees, look for something else that
they might find of value.

Here's some ideas...

IDEA #1

Perhaps you could hold your seminar in
Orlando, Florida and buy that speaker a
3 day pass to all the theme parks in
Orlando.

IDEA #2

Or maybe you could pay for a romantic
weekend experience for your speaker and
their spouse.

IDEA #3

Look around for activities that
highlight your local city. If you're in
L.A., create a "Hollywood Day" or if
you're in Washington D.C., create a
"Patriotic Day."

Here in Houston I would create a "Texas
Weekend" and send them to a Dude Ranch
or something.

Be creative.

Many speakers would never do these types
of exotic and unique activities unless
they were invited to do them.

You'll be amazed at the caliber of
people that you can attract with the
right offer.
