About this listen
Most people are either so afraid to speak in public that they never get started or they are so confident they step on stage with no idea what they are doing.
Either way, they fail.
Speaking is not a sport for amateurs. It’s a profession. And like all professions you need comprehensive training to succeed. But not any kind of training. You need structured training that includes a step-by-step system that you can replicate for every speech you give.
Persuasive speaking is complicated. To succeed on stage, you need more than a beginning, middle, and end. You need to know how to eliminate the fear of speaking, how to become a great storyteller, and how to exude confidence. You also need to know why you are speaking, your desired outcome, and the next steps you want your audience to take.
I designed this audiobook to train you in skills you can use to attract new clients, generate unlimited leads, and grow your business every time you speak.
Everything you need is in this audiobook. You will learn my step-by-step system to craft your speech, how to get speaking engagements, and six different closes that attract clients. You will also get templates, forms, and scripts that will make it easy to get speaking engagements, prepare any type of speech, and close any audience.

Being a CEO at any of the world’s largest companies is among the most challenging roles in business. Billions, and even trillions, are at stake—and the fates of tens of thousands of employees often hang in the balance. Yet, even when “can’t miss” high-achievers win the top job, very few excel. For those who shoulder the burden of being the one on whom everyone counts, a manual for excellence is sorely needed. To identify the 21st century’s best CEOs, the authors of CEO Excellence started with a pool of over 2,400 public company CEOs.

Sales is a skill anyone can learn and master - and introverts are especially good at it once they learn how to leverage their natural strengths. Introverts aren't comfortable with traditional tactics like aggressively pushing a product or talking over a customer's objections. That's the beauty of The Introvert's Edge: it doesn't focus on the sale itself but on a sales system that helps introverts feel sincere instead of sales-y.

Public speaking can be terrifying. For David Nihill, the idea of standing in front of an audience was scarier than cliff jumping into a thorny pit of spiders and mothers-in-law. Without a parachute or advanced weaponry. Something had to change.
In what doesn't sound like the best plan ever, David decided to overcome his fears by pretending to be a comedian called "Irish Dave" for one full year, crashing as many comedy clubs, festivals, and shows as possible.

There's a myth in our culture that to get ahead in sales, we have to be sharks - greedy, manipulative, and only out for number one. As business owners and creatives who lead with heart, that fear of appearing "salesy" stresses us out and holds us back. We assume that spending money is painful and feel guilty to ask our clients for more. The truth is, today's trading-up clients are not only willing to spend big, but they secretly want to. And there are more of them in your market than you think.

Most of us think of sales as convincing potential customers to believe or do something they don't really want to. But that cutthroat mentality makes the process much harder than it has to be—especially in an economic downturn, when customers are more suspicious and defensive. It's far more productive (and satisfying) when salespeople think like Go-Givers and focus exclusively on creating value for the customer.
