Keynote Speaker Inspires Small Business Owners And Independent Sales Reps
Most experts, speakers, and trainers aren’t qualified to give keynotes. Why?
As Tony Robbins says, “Information without emotion is not remembered”. So you need a keynote speaker who moves hearts, stirs souls, and inspires action. Right?
Trevor Justice is a business motivational speaker who cracks emotions wide open. He galvanizes your audience to face their fears, have more faith, and rise to bigger challenges. The result: a more profound, longer lasting impact.
That’s why meeting planners, event producers, and leaders of transformational events turn to Trevor Justice.
Trevor is a self-made millionaire who founded, scaled, and sold an online school. He’s also an expert advertising copywriter who’s made millions for his clients.
He inspires audiences to invest in their businesses, and empowers them with effective delegation, advertising, and entrepreneur skills.
A Refreshingly Entertaining Speaker
But unlike other motivational business speakers, Trevor is a natural born entertainer who’s been inspiring audiences of thousands since before his business success. He’s even won songwriting awards, appeared on cable TV, and collaborated with hit songwriters.
His riveting stories and inspirational songs crack emotions wide open, making your event unforgettable. He wakes up your audience, and makes them hungry to learn from the speakers leading your breakout sessions.
(His day rate includes both a keynote and workshop. So there’s no extra charge for a breakout session packed with specific how-to strategies.)
Your audience will leave humming Trevor’s songs. They’ll feel emboldened. They’ll be inspired into action to achieve their dreams.
You'll be glad you brought Trevor to your stage because he is a joy to work with, and a professional speaker who makes your life easier from the moment you pick up the phone.
Why settle for a conventional 45 minute keynote speech when you can have a keynote concert?
What Is a Keynote Speaker?
As the pros in the industry say, your keynote speaker should capture the essence of your conference.
That essence is at the heart of the old phrase, “It’s not what you say, but how you say it.” And in the hyper-competitive world of branding, you want someone like Trevor Justice who can effectively communicate your core message.
This is the purview of keynote speakers everywhere. So employing the right one at your next event could be the difference between inspiring your audience or leaving them cold. With that in mind, here’s a primer to help you understand what keynote speakers like Trevor can bring to your next event.
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines a keynote speaker as “one who delivers a speech”. That’s fairly basic. Now, a Wikipedia search of “keynote speaker” describes it as a moderator who has mastered the art of public speaking while telling a story with “an underlying theme.”
Some professional speakers oversimplify what they do. For example, Micah Solomon says “I get up on stage and kick off an event by speaking on my requested topic.”
But these basic definitions of a keynote speaker don’t go far enough.
The person telling stories needs to be dynamic. Like Trevor, the best keynote speakers are versatile. They might incorporate visual aids or music into their speech—anything to make the audience receptive to the message.
Diaz Communications goes even further, listing these seven traits of good keynote speakers. These include:
- Grasping the purpose of the conference
- Focusing on the audience
- Understanding the entertainment value
- Minimizing prop use
- Understanding the value of pacing
- Personalizing the theme
- Simplifying the message in a call-to-action
In other words, a good keynote speaker has an intuitive grasp of the message, and possesses the skills to maximize its effect.
Why Is The Typical Keynote Speech 45 Minutes?
Brevity is a distinct feature of keynotes. Keynote speakers rarely go over 70 minutes per event, and 45 minutes is more common. On webinars and livestreams, experts say the best length for a keynote is 20-40 minutes. This helps your audience digest the message without boring them or trying their patience.
As the professionals over at The Balance say, “the longer a keynote speech, the easier it is to get lost in the text.” Another article for Forbes highlights this by referencing one of the most successful keynote speakers in modern memory: Barack Obama.
As the junior senator from Illinois, Obama took the stage at the 2004 Democratic National Convention and gave rousing a speech so unforgettable, it effectively launched his national political career.
How to Hire a Keynote Speaker
There are various marketplaces in which to find the perfect keynote speaker for your next event. Big Speak, for example, is a leading speakers bureau that offers a database where you can narrow your options for business speakers, motivational speakers, and keynote pros via search filters.
They also provide lists of motivational speakers, which further narrows down the choices by specific subjects. Leading Authorities Inc. is another such speakers bureau that offers speakers by type, topic and listing.
However, you don’t need to pay a speaker bureau’s exorbitant fees. And you don’t need to settle for the same-old 45-minute keynote speech.
If you have an audience of entrepreneurs, small business owners, or independent sales reps, then book Trevor now and turn them into fearless go-getters who never quit.
