Show Notes: 11 Things Great Speakers Do Differently #7 - Only Ask For Business IF You Are a Good Fit

This strategy might seem counterintuitive, but in the long run, it is better to turn down an engagement that is not a good fit for you rather than lie and pretend it is a good fit.

Has other opportunities for you that are a better fit
Will invite you to speak the following year
Will refer you to other organizations
