Yep we said it, it’s the dreaded public speaking!
Some people LOVE public speaking and other’s just hate it. The fact is, those franchisors that do it, get a better response to their franchise and increase numbers of leads at exhibitions. If you are a franchisee, by speaking on stage at a convention, seminar, conference or anywhere your potential clients will be attending, you immediately raise yourself (literally) above your competition and your potential (and existing) clients will perceive YOU as THE expert.
So we’re here to help you develop your confidence and skills in this area. For those more seasoned public speakers, we’ll help you create a more compelling presentation and develop tools that get the crowd running to you afterwards to find out more!
What we’ll be covering on the day:
- How and why to speak at exhibitions and events
- What types of presentations capture the audience
- How to public speak in a compelling manner
- Create a follow-up tool that gets you more leads
- We’ll show you what other speaking opportunities you should be considering.
Who should attend?
- Those new to public speaking
- Those looking to improve their current speaking techniques
- Those looking to maximise their success at exhibitions / events and capitalise on the opportunities generated.
With straight talking advice, powerful techniques discussed and trade secrets revealed, the author of ‘Stroke the Flipchart: How to be S.E.X.Y. when you speak’, Celia Delaney, will be helping you master the art form. Celia has worked with many franchisors and understands how to coach them to improve their franchise recruitment. Click here to view Celia’s biography and testimonials.
So get a good night’s sleep before this workshop as we’ll have you up on your feet and engaged in activity all day long. You’ll leave with a decent plan and route forwards for speaking, as well as a good understanding of how you will capitalise on opportunities you do have and armed with your secret marketing tool!
Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what some delegates had to say speaking about last year’s workshop on this topic…
“Loved the entire day – I found it hugely inspiring and took a lot from each presentation”
Heather Hannant, Mail Boxes Etc.
“Having the confidence to go ‘on stage’ gave me the edge over the competition. I’m able to talk about my brand with confidence and in a compelling manner”
Lisa Suswain, Wagging Tails

Location: Yew Lodge Hotel, Kegworth, Derbyshire
This workshop is all about how franchisors can help support their franchisees with their marketing training. It is also ideal for franchisees looking for support and advice on their local marketing as we’ll be sharing with you some marketing techniques that we use through our Market Your Franchise system. Franchisees can take these away immediately to implement within their business and franchisors can take them away to share with their network. On the day we’ll be covering:
- The foundations of franchisee success
- The fundamental marketing skills franchisees MUST have
- A month-by-month support structure
- How franchisees can build and use their database
- How to access finance for business growth.
We’ll show you how our own dedicated marketing programme works. We’ll take you through the year, step-by-step, month-by-month, showing you how we give access to a wide range of expert knowledge tailored specifically into bite-sized chunks that franchisees can digest and implement themselves.
As an added bonus for this workshop we’re also offering all franchisees a complimentary place to come along and join us! Sound good? It certainly is!
Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what some delegates had to say speaking at last year’s workshop on this topic…
“The content was excellent and contained a great mix of practical advice that we can implement and inspiring content from other franchisors that create ideas for us to use in our network.”
Jim Suswain, Wagging Tails
“Great proactive thinking day with many practical takeaways”
Chris Roberts, Franchise Finance

Wagging Tails recently held their 2014 Annual Conference in the New Forest.
In addition to providing franchisees with an overview of another successful year which saw the franchise network grow 71% year on year, Wagging Tails welcomed Charity partners Hearing Dogs for Deaf People and franchise marketing specialists Coconut Creatives to their 2014 Conference.
Nicholas Orpin provided an overview of the work of Hearing Dogs. He then introduced volunteers Cathy, a puppy socialiser who has been caring for Aslan (the dog Wagging Tails have been sponsoring) and Mark with his Hearing Dog Erin who provided an insight into the impact Hearing Dogs have on the lives of the hearing impaired in the UK; there wasn’t a dry eye in the house as Mark shared his own story and everyone could see his special bond with Erin.
Sally Anne Butters and Helen Thresh from Coconut Creatives spoke about business marketing prior to lunch and a series of afternoon breakout sessions in which a number of business related topics were discussed.
Wagging Tails annual Franchise Awards provided a fitting conclusion to the Conference as Gary Spencer-Todd received the Customer Service Award, Sue Day was Brand Builder of the Year and Hilary Coates was the worthy recipient of Franchisee of the Year.
Following her win Hilary had this to say,
“Taking on and running the Wagging Tails franchise has given me a new lease of life and I am so lucky to have found something that I can look forward to doing every day, there aren’t many people who can say that. I feel really proud to have received this award and look forward to providing holiday homes for many more dogs over the coming years.”
