Why have we been called “a refreshing change” from other speakers bureaus? What’s our secret to helping clients create high-impact events with the perfect speakers, time after time after time?
It’s not rocket science.
First of all, when you engage us to help you find the right speaker for your event, we’re on your side from day one. We don’t view ourselves as booking agents for speakers; we view ourselves as program consultants to event organizers. Our success depends on your success. Everything we do stems from that philosophy.
With that in mind, our first step is to gain an understanding of what you’re looking for.
It’s been said that “nobody who bought a drill ever really wanted a drill; they wanted a hole.” The same is true for meeting planners and business leaders who book speakers for their events. We know you’re not just looking for a great speaker. What you’re really looking for is a great outcome. So what is that great outcome for you?
Are you booking a speaker for your sales meeting? If so, maybe your desired outcome is for your sales force to leave your meeting with insights and skills that will help them shorten sales cycles.
Are you booking a speaker for your association’s annual meeting? If so, maybe your desired outcome is higher attendance than in years past.
Are you booking a speaker for your annual convention’s final session? If so, maybe your desired outcome is to have your attendees stay through the entire program and not leave a day early.
Are you booking a speaker for your foundation’s annual fundraiser? If so, you may be booking a speaker to both sell tickets and to inspire your supporters to give at your event.
You get the idea.
Once we know what kind of outcome you’re looking for, then we can tap into our virtually limitless network of speakers and guide you to the candidates who have a track record of generating the results you’re looking for. Instead of you having to call speaker after speaker to check their credentials and see what they can do, we direct our clients to a short list of speakers who we know can do the job… so then all our clients have to do is evaluate who they feel best about!
(This is one of the reasons our clients come back to us year after year — they know we don’t just pitch the same short list over and over again… we recommend different speakers for every client and every event, because every client and every is different.)
Once the right speaker is secured, our job isn’t over. We work with our clients from start to finish to make sure all the speaker’s pre-event materials come in on time, we make sure the speaker shows up on time… we worry about everything related to your speaker’s appearance so you don’t have to. (We know you have plenty of other things on your mind!)
That’s how we do what we do, and how we make our clients’ lives easier. That’s why we’re here.
