Let’s be real:
It doesn’t matter how polished your presentation is, how great your offer is, or how dialed-in your sales strategy is—
If you’re speaking to the wrong room, you’re wasting your time.
I’ve seen it a hundred times.
An expert pours months into building a live event, virtual event, or webinar, only to fill the room with people who were never going to buy in the first place.
Wrong room = wrong results.
Every. Single. Time.

Why Audience Fit Matters More Than Funnel Tactics
You can have the best email marketing, a solid event registration process, and compelling sales copy—but if you don’t know who you’re talking to, none of it sticks.
You won’t create event engagement.
You won’t get conversions.
And your sales team won’t be able to close—because they’re chasing people who aren’t actually the right fit.
You’re Not Just Filling Seats—You’re Curating the Room
This is where most event planners, coaches, and business owners miss the mark.
They think the goal is to get butts in seats—as many as possible. But in reality, the goal is to attract buyers, not browsers.
Want a successful event? Then every seat needs to be filled by someone who:
Feels the pain point you solve
Has the capacity (and willingness) to invest
Is actively looking for the transformation you offer
If they don’t check those boxes, they’re just traffic, not target audience.
How to Attract the Right Attendees (Not Just Warm Bodies)
This starts before the event. Before the campaign, before the landing page, before the pitch deck. You need to get crystal clear on your ideal client avatar.
Then, reverse-engineer your marketing strategy to speak directly to them:
Use the language they actually use to describe their problem
Tell stories that mirror their reality
Build a brand message that creates emotional connection and trust
Ask yourself: Would this make my ideal client raise their hand and say “That’s me”?
Because if it doesn’t, you’re building an event for the wrong room—again.
Build Belief Before You Ever Make an Offer
The right room doesn’t need to be convinced.
They just need to see that you understand them.
Here’s the formula I use when helping clients pack a room that converts:
Start with pre-event engagement. Use event survey questions, warm-up content, and emails that speak to shared beliefs.
Validate and connect. Every slide, story, and session should reinforce that they’re in the right place.
Stack micro-commitments. From audience engagement activities to small wins during the event, you’re guiding them toward the decision.
Deliver value that moves them. Not just content—clarity. Help them see the path forward.
Then and only then, make the offer.
If you do all that, closing becomes the natural next step.
Final Word: You Can’t Convert the Wrong Crowd
If you’re seeing low conversions, lukewarm interest, or attendees “just browsing,” don’t blame the offer.
Blame the room.
Because the wrong people will never give you the right results—no matter how much you tweak the funnel.
Want more sales?
Want stronger testimonials?
Want event marketing ROI that actually makes sense?
Curate the room.
Speak to the right people.
Build belief before the pitch.
And your next event?
It won’t just get results.
It’ll change lives.
