Do you need a keynote speaker for your business conference or convention? Patrick Schwerdtfeger is a leading authority on self-employment and a motivational speaker who has contributed to dozens of conferences and conventions around the world. Patrick is the author of the award-winning book Marketing Shortcuts for the Self-Employed (2011, Wiley) and a regular keynote speaker for Bloomberg TV. Most of the business conventions and conferences that Patrick has contributed to were either regional meetings or annual conferences for corporations and industry associations.

Association clients include events for the American Marketing Association (AMA), Meeting Professionals International (MPI), National Association of Healthcare Recruiters (NAHCR), California Insurance Wholesalers Association (CIWA) and American Association of Travel Agents (ASTA) among many others. Corporate clients include Bloomberg TV, Comcast Business Class, United Healthcare, Time Warner Cable, Bank of America and Keller Williams among others.

Large conferences and conventions are being challenged these days by a surplus of low-quality local events. Professionals are being barraged with inexpensive events and webinars all the time, and they only thing distinguishing one from the others is the title and description of the program. Booking a high-quality keynote speaker is more important than ever. By securing an established motivational speaker, conference planners can promote their events above and beyond the rest of the pack. Patrick Schwerdtfeger is an experienced conference speaker and can deliver the content and buzz you’re looking for.

There’s an important distinction between platform speakers and keynote speakers. Platform speakers are those who sell things directly to the audience, whether it’s registrations, DVDs, coaching programs or expensive 3-day seminars. Keynote speakers, on the other hand, are paid directly by the organization and do not sell anything (other than a book, perhaps) to your event attendees. The destination of a platform speech is the sale. The destination of a keynote speech is the message. Business conferences and conventions generally use keynote speakers, and Patrick Schwerdtfeger strives to become the best keynote speaker in his topic categories.

Do you need a keynote speaker for business management consultants? Patrick Schwerdtfeger is a leading authority on self-employment and a motivational speaker who has contributed to dozens of events for business consultants, management consultants and marketing consultants. Patrick is the author of the award-winning book Marketing Shortcuts for the Self-Employed (2011, Wiley) and a regular keynote speaker for Bloomberg TV. He has spoken at conventions and conferences around the world, many of them catering to the consulting profession. Examples include the Bay Area Consultants Network (BACN), the Institute of Management Consultants (IMC), the Consultants Network of Silicon Valley (CNSV), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the Bay Area Biomedical Consultants Network (BABCN) among others.

The consulting profession is exploding. With traditional jobs less reliable than ever, and unemployment persistently high, more and more professionals are going out on their own and offering consulting services to companies in their area of expertise. Consultants are springing up in every field and the opportunity has never been greater. The only obstacle is marketing and that’s precisely what Patrick’s programs are all about. If marketing and management consultants can secure the business, they can earn far more then they ever did as employees, all while enjoying increased autonomy and freedom in their lives. These trends will undoubtedly result in even more consultants in the years ahead.

Most business consultants are frustrated with modern marketing. For starters, the vast majority of people attempting to use social media platforms like Facebook or Twitter are just wasting time. They aren’t getting any results. Secondly, their marketing activities have to be kept to a minimum, allowing them to do their real jobs: consulting. Patrick’s keynote programs focus precisely on these two challenges. First, what are the true marketing success stories and what do they have in common. Patrick identifies the specific strategies that have delivered real results. And second, how can professional consultants implement these strategies without consuming their entire day. Hire Patrick to distill these challenges into a series of simple strategies that any consultant can use to immediately improve their marketing effectiveness and results.
