Giving a powerful, high-value presentation is an incredible accomplishment—but what happens when the applause fades and no one follows up with you? No new leads. No consult calls. Just... crickets.

If that’s ever been your experience, you’re definitely not alone.

In this episode, I share how to bridge the gap between giving great content and creating real business results from your speaking. The key? Aligning your talk with your offer and planting strategic "sales seeds" that guide your audience to the next step—without ever sounding salesy.

You’ll learn:

- What “planting sales seeds” really means—and why it works so well  

- Simple, conversational ways to incorporate client stories and services into your presentation  

- Real examples of how this has led to immediate interest from ideal clients  

- The mindset shift that will help you serve your audience and grow your business  

- The must-have call to action every talk should include  

If you want your presentations to inspire *and* convert, this episode will show you how.
