Barry Graham of Speaker’s Corner
Yesterday afternoon, at my PSA London Chapter meeting, I heard one of the best “common- sense” business talks for some time.
Barry Graham outlined how he has successfully built up his training business, Speaker’s Corner. He based his speech around his “10 Lessons”. These included, “don’t throw away good ideas”, “find your niche” and “go international”. His firm handles a wide portfolio of training topics such as conference speaking and progressive training.
On one of his slides was a comment made by an associate of his, Alan Dunachie. Alan is Director of Operations at the Economist magazine. It’s all about telephone selling:
“If you don’t make the calls, you don’t get the business”. Blindingly obvious, but do you set aside time each day to market yourself or your business?
