57. How to Pitch Virtual Summits with Nicole Batey

I've noticed recently, both within Go Pitch Yourself and the Podwize Co-Op, that there's a lot of interest in virtual summits. What are they? And how do you go about effectively pitching yourself to speak at a virtual summit? Even though I've attended and guested on virtual summits in the past, I’ve noticed that the variety of online events has evolved since COVID. So, I invited Nicole Batey, an expert in virtual events, to come on the podcast and give us the lowdown.  Nicole Batey helps female online business coaches fill their high-ticket group coaching programs through virtual events that make attendees and clients say, "When can we do this again?"  Listen in to find out the kind of virtual visibility opportunities that are available, the kind of impact they can have on your business, and - of course - what to include in your pitches for them. Also, you'll notice that we’re trying a few different things with the podcast from now on, including our first sponsored ad! Make sure you take up the generous offer from Nikki Rausch for membership in her Sales Maven society. Topics covered include: How Angie and Nicole met, and how Nicole got into working in this space prior to COVID What are virtual events?
