Think Outside the Real Estate Box
At our Ops Boss® Leader Retreat, we often feature a keynote speaker OUTSIDE of real estate. Past speakers included:
- A Down Syndrome advocate
- An ATF agent who helped take down the DC Sniper
- A RAMMY Award-winning restaurateur
- A 10-year-old TEDx speaker who created his own nonprofit
The takeaway? Business, leadership, and success principles are universal. Learning from different industries brings fresh insights that stick.
Where do you find folks like this? Look through your list of past clients and sphere of influence. Talk to business owners, teachers, neighbors, newscasters and people within you community. My experience with most people has been that they were flattered to be invited.
Pro Tips for Booking Speakers
- Clarify the goal. Are they there to teach, inspire, or reinforce values? Prep them ahead of time about your team’s MVVBP so they can align.
- Make it a win-win. What’s in it for them?
- Decide on format. Presentation or interview style? Mix it up! (Panels are fun too.)
- Get materials ahead of time. No last-minute surprises.
- Leverage your own team. Script-off contests, “Fail Forward Fridays,” and objection-handling battles can be gold!
