Andy runs six live events per year, and achieves something I’ve never seen or heard of in my almost two decades of being in this industry, and that is…he gets nearly 100% of his event registrations to SHOW UP to his live events!
In this episode, we dive into how he’s able to not only have an almost 0% attrition rate at his live events, but also how he gets a whopping 50% of his attendees fully registered BEFORE he even announces who the speakers are. WHAT?!?! You heard me right! We cover the ideal event “atmosphere,” the reasons why people show up in person, and how to compel them to come back year after year.
We also discuss the core values of his organization and the best practices a speaker should follow if they want to land one of Andy’s SIX yearly live stages!
Andy Mason is the Director of Heaven in Business and together with his wife, Janine, leads Dream Culture – a movement catalyzing people to discover and live their dreams. He comes from New Zealand and has over 15 years of experience helping individuals and organizations discover and align with purpose and then develop practical steps to make dreams a reality.
