Let's be real—hosting a summit is a ton of work, but the real magic (and money) happens after it's over. Yet this is exactly when most hosts drop the ball, feeling relieved it's done instead of capitalizing on all the momentum they've built.
To help us unlock the post-summit goldmine, I'm joined by Julie C. Butler, known as the Summit Queen. Julie is a virtual summit coach who specializes in helping coaches confidently host their first summit to expand their email list, increase visibility, and boost revenue. With over 15 years of business experience and having grown her own list by 1,500+ people through summits, she knows exactly how to turn summit attendees into loyal customers.
Today, we're diving into what happens after your summit ends, the innovative approaches to speaker networking, and how to stand out in an increasingly crowded summit space.
HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:
1️⃣ Nurture Your New Audience - Learn why 42% of Julie's income comes directly from summit attendees and how to properly nurture these warm leads after your event ends.
2️⃣ Build Meaningful Connections - Discover how to create valuable relationships with speakers through pre-recordings and dedicated networking opportunities that lead to future collaborations.
3️⃣ Focus on Quality Over Quantity - Understand why having 500 of the right attendees is more valuable than 2,000 random ones, and how to attract your ideal audience through strategic speaker selection.
So, if you've been thinking about hosting a summit or want to get more from the ones you already run, grab your notebook—this episode is packed with practical strategies you can implement immediately.
