I would love to hear from you! Send me a text
Have you been calling up churches pitching yourself to speak and nobody’s returning your phone calls? Let me ask you this: if it’s not your church, do any members of the staff or congregation know who you are? Back in the day, cold pitching worked a lot better. Nowadays, anyone can send an email to a women's ministry director, and that's exactly what happens. Since so many unsolicited emails from unknown speakers land in their inbox, getting a meeting is becoming harder. But if you make a genuine connection, you stand a better chance of getting your foot in the door.
Top reasons to listen to the entire episode:
- It's okay if some people aren't willing to vouch for you.
- You need to build a connection to get in the door.
- Sometimes you ask people for connections and they don't know anyone. Keep asking more people you know.
