Steve Eriksen helps coaches and experts become the people their ideal clients know, trust, and want to work with.
His work addresses a frustration many accomplished professionals recognise: they get results for clients, yet their own enquiries remain unpredictable. Steve helps them understand what turns expertise into demand, what makes visibility lead to conversations, and why interested people sometimes need a clearer reason to take the next step.
As the founder of EventRaptor, a platform with more than 500 summits, Steve brings practical experience in building audiences and creating opportunities through virtual events. Steve and his team also own VirtualSummits.com and provide event design and production, connecting the strategy behind an event with the work that makes it happen.
Before founding EventRaptor, Steve served as Chief Technology Officer for Mary Morrissey’s coaching organisation, supporting events with thousands of attendees. He went on to build his own coaching business through speaking and virtual summits, experiencing firsthand the challenge of turning an audience’s attention into meaningful business relationships.
That combination gives Steve a valuable perspective for summit audiences and podcast listeners. He understands the coach who wants more clients, the speaker who wants their message to lead somewhere, and the host who wants an event to make a lasting difference.
The realisations Steve brings to your audience
Steve’s sessions help people see familiar business challenges with fresh eyes:
- People may already be interested in your work. Understanding what helps them feel ready to enquire can reveal opportunities you’ve been overlooking.
- Your expertise becomes more valuable to prospects when they recognise themselves in your message. A clearer connection to their situation can make your work easier to understand and choose.
- A speaking opportunity can keep working after the talk ends. The right invitation gives interested listeners a reason to continue the conversation.
- Follow-up can feel like care. A useful message at the right moment can help someone feel remembered and comfortable getting back in touch.
- You can build authority while your audience is still growing. Bringing a relevant conversation together gives people a chance to experience your judgement and expertise.
- AI can help you express what makes your work valuable. Clear direction and your own insight make the difference between generic content and communication that sounds like you.
