Welcome and introduction

Hi there, my name is Tom Poland and over the last 15 years I’ve spoken at over 1,000 events and almost all of them were for audiences of self-employed, professional practitioners or business owners so I am not exactly new to the business of showing solopreneurs and entrepreneurs how to create a new business explosion by using strategy to “work smarter and not harder”.

My talks are ALWAYS vibrant, passionate, motivating and engaging.

More importantly, I give real life client examples every step of the way which means that your audience walks away with a multitude of client-attracting ideas that they can put into practice as soon as they return to their business.

Here’s an outline of my talk…

“How To Use Marketing Strategy In Your Small Business To Attract New Clients”

Without you having to work harder or cold call and
even if you hate selling

• Many business owners find themselves in a dilemma. On the one hand they often want and need more clients but on the other hand they hate the idea of having to cold call or sell
• In this talk I reveal my universally applicable marketing strategy that shows each business owner how to attract new clients almost every week of the year without having to work harder or longer and without having to cold call or having to go out and try and sell disinterested prospects
• I begin with the story of my first business failure at age 24 and how I overcame that disaster when I discovered the difference between a “Business Plan” and a “Business Model”
• I also reveal four major mistakes the business owners make when trying to get new clients and show attendees how they can avoid mistakes and then I go on to share six key elements that attendees can use to build their own Business Model including specific examples and case studies for attracting new clients on a systematic and consistent basis
• I also allows time for a question and answer session at the end of each talk

Here’s a little more about me

• Tom Poland is a serial entrepreneur who has started 5 very different businesses and the first of them he launched when he was 24 and that one almost sent him broke.
• He learnt a lot from that experience and went on to start and then sell 4 successive businesses including two which he took international.
• During those rather formative years from age 24 through 40 he discovered that creating a business that was worth a lot of money was a process that could be replicated and repeated across almost any industry.
• At last count Tom’s process has helped 1,476 people across 173 different industries and 4 continents to grow their business and many have used his process to go on and sell their business for millions.
• He has been published in 27 countries and his latest book has just been published in it’s second edition in the USA, Canada, Europe, UK and Australia.

Sample testimonials from conference organisers...

	"Tom, thank you so much for the great talk you did for my clients yesterday. I have to confess to the tiniest bit of anxiety about whether they'd feel a bit 'sold' to. I've spent 10 years nurturing a very good list of loyal clients and recently had a not-so-good experience with a very hard-sell 'over-the-top' email campaign from an American internet marketer. I need not have spared even one second of concern for that issue - you were totally professional in the way you structured your event. I really liked the way you gave huge value to everyone during the event and how you set attendees at rest with simple explanations and interesting case studies. I've had a number of emails since then thanking both of us for making the information so readily available, for the chance to experience the talk and for the professional way in which it was handled. I'm really looking forward to working more closely with you, after all these years of hearing about your good work. You give great value and deserve every success." Robyn Pearce, www.GettingAGrip.com
	"Comments back from our clients, after the workshop have all been positive, finding the occasion to be both enjoyable and of great value. You have been extremely professional, well organised and focused." Duncan McVicar, Regional Manager, National Bank
	"Your session was sensational. A blast of fresh ideas, all tested and proven; and making complete sense. Weeks later I'm still receiving many compliments for arranging such a competent speaker" Doug Scott, Chief Executive Officer, TradeZone
	"The event was refreshing, enlightening and invigorating: there was no heavy sell or "raa-raa": Tom's perceptions came from quite a different dimension altogether. Tom is an excellent presenter. He maintained a consistently high level throughout. I heard nothing but positive comments from our clients - they were most impressed." Tim Livingstone, Partner, UHY Haines Norton
	"Over the past 30 years I have been privileged to see and hear a great many speeches and trainers. Your presentation would rank amongst one of the best. A world class presentation with real depth of content." Ernie Uganecz, National Training & Development Manager, Sovereign Assurance
	"Congratulations on your eloquent and entertaining presentation to our National Conference. As a communications professional, I was impressed as much by the delivery as by the content of your message. In my view, your performance stood out during our three-day conference and that is no small feat given the calibre of the people who shared the podium." Paul Thompson, Communications Manager - National Public Relations Association
	"Tom's presentation was unquestionably unique and stimulating. Thinking outside the box, taking on big challenges, re-defining your views about success…it was all covered! Don't miss him." Dr. Edd Chadbourne, CEO, Raine & Horne Holdings
	"Thank you so much for the great talk ... our attendees got a lot out of it as it was so relevant … the simplicity and clarity with which you present the information about formulating strategy is engaging and informative. I feel people leave with a sense of having obtained fantastic value from the talk. I very much appreciate there is no "sell" as when I am recommending an event to my database I don't want them to feel they are being sold. I would very much like to offer this kind of event to our users in future - maybe we should look at a quarterly or even bi-monthly "regular" slot once we're ready to launch into the promo with the new site in place. I look forward to talking with you in a couple of months' time and we can go from there." Heather Douglas, www.HomeBizzBuzz.co.nz

Strategically Yours,
