"Mary is a master"

"It is an art not only to acquire the engagements by knowing who to contact but also knowing how to contact them, how to speak to them and how to persuade and how to help them understand that your particular speaker is the ideal answer to their meeting needs. Mary is a master of that. She can teach you how to do it."

-Greg Link

 

"Made an immediate impact on my success as a speaker..."

"Even though I have been speaking for a number of years I decided to invest in my business by taking Mary Mckay's 2009 Fall challenge Tele-coaching Series. Mary's understanding of the booking process and how to position yourself to receive more business has made an immediate impact on my success as a speaker.

Since taking on the Fall Challenge I have booked 2 confirmed paid engagements, 2 non-paid but allowed to sell product, and my wife and I have appeared as a guest on a television program. I fully expect to meet or exceed my Fall Challenge goal of 5 paid, and 5 holds before Jan 1, 2010. Mary has given me the tools, my job is to use them and MAKE IT HAPPEN!."

-Dwight Pledger

 

"I am more confident than ever about the value that I can bring to

any audience when I speak"

"I am a leadership strategist who works with managers and leaders who want to elicit the greatest contribution from each and every employee. 

Working with Mary McKay is one of the best things that I have done to advance my speaking career.  With her products and process I now have the total clarity of my unique selling proposition, a critical component to launching my business. 

I am more confident than ever about the value that I can bring to any audience when I speak.  And even though we have just recently started the prospecting process we are already seeing extremely positive results.  I am excited about the future and I have Mary McKay to thank."

-Trudy Bourgeois

 

"Why waste thousands and thousands of dollars trying to recreate

the information yourself?"

"As a speaker there is nothing more important to my business than finding someone who knows how to sell me to my audience.  If you do not have somebody who can get you in front of the right audience,  your message will not be heard.  There are very specific skills and strategies and positioning - depending on your market - that your representative will need to be able to sell you effectively. 

Mary has the extensive experience.  Why waste thousands and thousands of dollars trying to recreate this information yourself?  Instead, take advantage of Mary’s wisdom and insight and everything that she has learned over the last 20 years and put it to work immediately with the person that you have either just hired or someone who has been in your business for quite some time who wants to take your business to the next level."

-Cynthia Kersey

 

"Thanks for the extra kick in the head...
You are the best in the business!"

-Frank Sovinsky

 

"By the end of our meeting, I had a clearly articulated unique

selling proposition, a focused list of speaking topics and a restructured signature presentation"

"In less than 30 minutes of coaching from Mary, I way able to get a clear understanding of where I was in my development process, what I needed to do, and exactly how to do it.  By the end of our meeting, I had a clearly articulated unique selling proposition, a focused list of speaking topics, and a re-structured signature presentation.  And that’s just a few of the areas that we covered.

Mary’s suggestions were very targeted, action-oriented, and specific.  This certainly was more useful than the generic, high-level suggestions that you sometimes get in an initial consultation.  In my view, since Mary accomplished all of this in such a short period of time, she is definitely someone that I want to have on my team."

-Kimaka Willis

 

"I am much further along than I would have believed possible six

weeks ago when we started"

"Thank you for pushing me so hard to get so much done in just 6 weeks.  I still have a lot of work to do to implement everything you have taught us but I am much further along than I would have believed possible six weeks ago when we started.

-Hazel Wagner PhD, MBA, CMC

 

"You will understand why it is so important to deal with booking

agents in a certain way and Mary McKay will teach you how to do that."

"Public speaking is a very tough business sometimes and sometimes emotions flare up and booking agents are on the tail end of that flare up.

With Your Booking Agent, you will understand why it is so important to deal with booking agents in a certain way and Mary McKay will teach you how to do that.  So I hope you will run, not walk to get it.

It is worth many, many times what you will invest in it."

-Alex Mandossian

 

"I now have a clear direction in which to proceed..."

"Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed suggestions which clearly outline how I need to proceed! I sincerely appreciate your assistance. I now have a clear direction in which to proceed.

-Roopa Chari, M.D.

 

"The phone is no longer a scary task for me. I am excited to make calls for my speaker!"

-Jackie Lay

 

"90 Days spent with Mary McKay is a gift to any speaker who is

serious about exploding his business..."

"...no matter how much she charges. I must admit, however, being in her exclusive program is not for the faint of heart.

Though she will do some hand holding, it won't be for long, because if you're open to the coaching and wise enough to do what she says, she'll have you up and flying before you can finish writing your signature speech.

Mary loves what she does, cares about her clients, and is committed to supporting you with packaging your expertise so that it is irresistible to meeting planners!

I have trusted her wisdom for over four years, and she's always spot on! And before you know it, she'll have the spotlight on you!"

-Kevin Kitrell Ross

 

"She's the best of the best..."

"Wouldn’t you want to learn from somebody who has booked almost 2,000 professional paid speaking engagements? 

Mary is the best of the best.  In all the interviews on the CDs, you will find there are different twists and turns on the subject but they will be underscoring the importance of having consistent representation each and everyday because if you are consistent in putting out, the money is consistently coming in. 

Mary’ series is a fundamental element of this process. 

-Mark Victor Hansen

 

"Mary, you are absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for your fabulous input and suggestions!"

-Pamela Varkony

 

"You are truly making a difference in the lives of seminar speakers ..."

"Mary McKay’s Your Booking Agent actually became a roadmap to my success.  It gave me very specific step by step instructions on how to get the most out of working with a booking agent.  All of the different guests that Mary had on her various interviews were outstanding and they each had a prominent track record of success. 

So Mary, I thank you for spending a time to interview all of the various people that you did and it was truly an outstanding, inspiring tool and is one that I will keep with me and listen to over and over again for many years to come.  You are truly making a huge difference in the lives of seminar speakers."

-Kimberly Jacobs

 

"The consultation I had with you cut through all the crap, got down to the nitty-gritty and put me on the right track. "

-Randall Blaum

 

"My business grew exponentially ..."

"When it comes to securing bookings, there is none finer than Mary McKay. Mary was my booking agent and my business grew exponentially with her under my wing We grew a business to where I have spoken literally in every capital in North America. 

How can you do this? You start out on your own. You are it. You are on the phone and you are making your promotional package. You are going out speaking. Then one day you realize you are doing $10 an hour work and you need somebody to help you get out of that wreck. 

Mary McKay’s product will do that. It will teach you and coach you how to get a booking agent on board to help you." 

-Pat Burns

 

"I went from no speaking engagements, to a handful..."

"I am a life coach teaching children how to make all of the right moves using chess as a metaphor for life.  I just want to say Mary McKay has really been a blessing to me.  She takes speakers to the next level.  I went from no speaking engagements to a handful and I am very thankful for her. 

Mary, keep up the good work.  You are the best at what you do.  Your skills and abilities are unmatched.  I think her product and her passion to reach out and make a difference is second to none."

-Orrin Hudson

 

"helped me catapult my speaking career... "

"Mary McKay definitely knows what it takes to be successful in the speaking business. Her keen insight, in-depth experience and words of wisdom have helped me catapult my speaking career to a higher level of success!"

-Wade Randolph
