Media coverage doesn't just make you visible. It makes you bookable.

Most speakers are great on stage and invisible everywhere else. Meeting planners hire the speaker they've already heard of, and publicity is how you become that speaker.

On Friday, October 9, NSA SoCal welcomes Jill Lublin, publicity strategist, 4x bestselling author of Guerrilla Publicity, and a 25+ year "Media Magnet" who has shared stages with Tony Robbins, Jack Canfield, and Barbara Corcoran.

In this two-hour virtual session, How to Use Publicity to Boost Leads, Visibility and Profits, you'll learn how to:

→ Find the "wow" factor that sets you apart

→ Position yourself as the news, not just the expert

→ Simplify your message so it lands instantly

→ Pass the "Who cares?" test that every journalist applies

→ Turn media exposure into engagements, clients, and revenue

All with strategies that don't require a big budget.
