Are you building a summit that fills your list and your bank account, or just one that “looks good” on paper?
Ever wondered why some virtual summits pull in six figures while others barely break even? It’s not just about getting people to sign up—it’s about strategically designing your summit for conversions. In this episode, we’re cutting through the noise and diving into exactly what it takes to turn your summit from just another free event into a profitable, lead-generating machine.
I’m breaking down the biggest mistakes I see summit hosts make (so you don’t have to), the must-have elements of a money-making event, and the strategies that will help you sell more VIP passes, attract the right speakers, and create an offer that extends beyond the summit itself.
