In this episode we're answering your FAQs about virtual summits. Krista was recently asked if it's worth to host a virtual summit if someone didn't have a large following or email list. Here's what she told us: "Hosting a summit will actually help you grow your audience. The key is to pitch speakers who are a good fit for your summit topic and audience. Additionally, you need to give yourself enough time to plan the event (she recommends 90 days) and be specific about who your summit is for and what problem it will solve."

Listen in to get your burning questions answered about summit planning, choosing a topic, pitching speakers and so much more!

In today's episode, we're covering how virtual summits are the all-in-one sales funnel.

Listen in where Krista and I discuss how virtual summits are an all-in-one funnel strategy that can 10x your results.
