You’re in for a treat in this week’s episode of The First Pencil Podcast. Our guest is Brent Wees. Brent is a wicked awesome speaker, coach and digital marketing strategist. He’s also been a friend of ours for over ten years.
If you’ve ever seen Brent speak, you’ll never forget it. Brent’s energy is infectious and he’s here to share some of his tips on how to get chosen for a session speaker slot at the automotive conferences…and so much more!
Have you ever thought about speaking at a conference?
No matter what your position is at the dealership, you have something to add to the discussion around the fast-moving, fluid changes that are happening in the auto industry. If you’ve ever considered giving a presentation, speaking at a conference or even creating a project that you need to present to the boss, Brent’s wisdom will enlighten you and help get you where you want to go.
Brent is also a major music lover (like us). We talk about punk – yesterday and today.
About Brent Wees: he is CEO and lead strategist of Idea Meet Plan. Get in touch with Brent HERE.
If you’re a fan of automotive social selling (leveraging your own network to develop leads and sales), learning the strategies around speaking in public will help you get better at interacting with customers online. I’m proof of that! I managed car dealerships most of my life and the only “speaking” I did was at the company Christmas party. When I started Kruse Control, I needed to build my brand without much budget. Speaking at conferences was a way for me to do just that. It wasn’t easy but I did it…and you can too. It builds confidence and it establishes you as an expert and that, my friend, is a valuable asset in today’s misinformation-filled world.

If you’re a car person (ie: worked in dealerships like us) we want to hear from you!
