Use public speaking as a very effective way of "getting the word out."
Start with an "attention-getter."
Drop "you know," "but" and "ah" from your presentations
With smaller groups, establish eye contact with everyone in the room, one person at a time.
Have a handout with your complete contact information: name, title, company, telephone number, email, web URL and impact statement.
When there are multiple speakers, see if you can be first or last in the presentation order.
Ask the host for complete contact information on everyone in the room so you can do your followup.
When asked to speak, inquire if there is a budget to pay the speakers.
Asked how the event or function will be advertised/promoted and will same include your name, company and your topic title.
Do your own promotion via web-site, newsletter and social media.
Join us for breakfast any
Wednesday

Services Cooperative Association
Market Expansion ~ Business Development
Entrepreneurial Education ~ Professional Growth
Since 1983!
|
A not-for-profit cooperative association of independent businesses, founded from an economic development research project on the
importance of small business development conducted by the
Houston Chamber of Commerce in the late 1970's.
With our first Co-Op meeting held March 14, 1983, to date we've worked with 65,638
people, generating 44,986 tips, leads, referrals and items of new business, generating revenues exceeding one billion dollars, founded the Entrepreneurial Development Center - Houston's first and Texas' oldest small business incubator and co-working space, First Houston Small Business Seed Capital Fund - literally the first small business seed capital fund in Houston, the Womens Business Center - first business incubator for women business owners in the country with residency space and the Virtual Business Center - the first remote business incubator in the world - all totally without public funding, grants, gifts, donations or contributions.
Our Entrepreneurial Research Division conclusively demonstrated "entrepreneurship" could be taught in a classroom environment, resulting in colleges and universities, globally,
commencing entrepreneurial courses.
Here are some of the organizations we've worked with.
We grow companies, build careers and advance ideas.
Among our projects for 2020:
We're asking our government to please stop tax-payer
funding of
those Small Business Development Centers across
the U.S. which
knowingly compete
with tax-paying businesses.
Should you have a business that has been negatively impacted by
SBDC competition let us know.
