Publisher's summary

It’s time you made money speaking. Big money.

Truth bomb: Making excellent money as a paid speaker is not about how well-known you are. Instead, it’s about how you package your speech and present yourself.

In Speak Your Way to Cash®, entrepreneur and professional speaking coach Ashley N. Kirkwood takes you behind the scenes and unlocks the secrets to landing high-paying five- and six-figure corporate speaking contracts using her firm’s proprietary P.A.I.D. Method™. Ashley developed her method while taking herself from someone who spoke for free at the Rotary Club to being an in-demand corporate speaker commanding five to six figures. And she did this in record time.

Would you like to be a highly paid speaker? Then get this book, because it’ll show you how to:

  • Develop the mindset of a highly paid speaker;
  • Develop your speaking brand and using the media to make it explode;
  • Use what you already know to craft an awe-inspiring speech/program;
  • Assemble a six-figure corporate speaking offer that gets noticed;
  • Provide world-class customer service that keeps the major players coming back to you.

Again, you do not need to be a well-known, experienced speaker. If you have professional skills or knowledge (e.g., an advanced degree, superior sales or entrepreneurial skills, upper-management experience, a professional trade, or similar) you already have what organizations will pay handsomely for.

The fact is, corporations, universities, and other organizations have an insatiable need for experts from every imaginable field. Whether it’s for training purposes, team building, sales, marketing, diversity/sensitivity training, seminar presentations, or similar, thousands of people are hired and paid five to six figures to share their knowledge.

Stop starting at the bottom. You already have what the people who pay the big money want. Let’s get you acquainted with them. Speak Your Way to Cash does exactly that.

The detailed information shared

I loved everything about this book.

However, I wish there was a webpage with downloadable docs as identified in the actual book. I hear the descriptions but not having access to those docs suck.

Overall, I literally loved this book and have recommended it to two people.

A must read

I judge a good business book by the author”s ability to communicate potentially complex business processes in layman’s terms. Ashley Kirkwood accomplishes that in this book.
I also look for action steps the reader can implement. This book also provides it.
I have already ordered the physical book so I can add it to my library.
This book is a winner.

I could not get out of the Car!!!

This is one of the best books I've read on speaking. I didn't want to get out of the car, I wanted to keep listening.

"Speak Your Way to Cash" is an outstanding audiobook for anyone looking to elevate their speaking career. Author Ashley N. Kirkwood offers practical and actionable advice on how to break into the top tier of the speaking market, instead of starting from the bottom and working your way up.

The audiobook is well-narrated and engaging, with Kirkwood sharing personal anecdotes and experiences that make her advice all the more relatable. She covers a wide range of topics, from developing a brand and crafting a compelling message to negotiating fees and dealing with difficult clients.

What I appreciated most about this audiobook is that it offers a step-by-step plan for success. Kirkwood doesn't just tell you what to do, she provides concrete strategies for how to do it. Her advice is both inspiring and practical, and I came away from this audiobook with a renewed sense of confidence in my ability to succeed as a speaker.

Overall, I highly recommend "Speak Your Way to Cash" to anyone looking to take their speaking career to the next level. It's a game-changing audiobook that has the potential to transform your career and your life.
