How did I get invited to speak for Direct Pay the first time? Truth be told, it was “speaker gig envy” that fueled my effort.  Someone I admired a lot was showcased as a speaker. When I saw the eblast come in my inbox, I asked myself, “Why not me?”

So, I searched around the website, found someone to reach out to in customer service, and suggested a topic that would be of service to the members.

That single effort has since resulted in three speaking invitations for me that have brought my expertise to the attention of the entire customer list for Direct Pay! (formerly known as Practice Pay Solutions.) And I have since recommended a number of experts to contribute to this series, too.

So, if you have a topic that would add value to the mastery series, making a pitch that the decision makers can’t resist is a good first step. It sure worked for me.

Speaking of which … If you have joint ventures on your mind …I reprise a popular talk I gave earlier this month on this topic that is perfect for you if you are a smart business owner who wants to get out the gate like winner right from the start and avoid common blunders.

Details for the March 11 call are below, and check out the other great speakers coming to serve you from the Direct Pay Mastery Series, too. Maybe you’ll soon be among them. Maybe now is the time for you to make YOUR pitch.
