Are you looking for more opportunities to be seen by your ideal clients and prospects–clients with real budgets to hire speakers for their meetings and conferences? The Speakers Group is celebrating 15 years of connecting clients with speakers, and our directory of speakers is a go-to resource for thousands of business leaders and event planners from organizations including Alfa Insurance, Anthem, Inc., BlueCross BlueShield, Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Delta Air Lines, Ernst & Young, Marathon Oil, PayPal, Pitney Bowes, Schwan Food, and many more.
There is no “open registration” to get listed on The Speakers Group’s roster of speakers. Rather, every speaker must apply and be approved. Clients don’t come to The Speakers Group in search of “the largest speaker directory on earth.” Google owns that title. Clients come to The Speakers Group because they know our speakers are carefully selected, with a proven track record of generating real results for the organizations that hire them.
So, if you’d like the opportunity to be seen among a group of peers you can be proud of–and not lost in another directory of thousands of speakers–we invite you to apply for membership in The Speakers Group. We offer three tiers of membership, all designed to boost your visibility and credibility according to your needs and preferences:
Associate Speaker Membership
- Enhanced, “handcrafted” profile with video, an “attention-grabber” mini-bio, a Quick Reference Card with your fees, topics, etc., your full bio, your presentation summaries, testimonials AND a direct link to your website, and option to “send directly to speaker” on the check availability form (click here for a sample profile)
- Associate Speaker profiles are not searchable by topic, fee, or other categories, but they do appear in our Associate Speaker Directory and they are indexed in Google and other search engines to enhance your visibility and credibility
- We’ll pitch you as matching opportunities arise, I’ll also share opportunities for you to “apply” for speaking engagements when clients request more than our standard three speaker recommendations
- Investment: $295/year plus a 25% commission to The Speakers Group on the gross fee of any firm offers we bring to you, and a 10% referral fee on any leads/inquiries we provide to you for direct booking with the client
Featured Speaker Membership
- Enhanced, “handcrafted” profile with video, an “attention-grabber” mini-bio, a Quick Reference Card with your fees, topics, etc., your full bio, your presentation summaries, testimonials AND a direct link to your website, and option to “send directly to speaker” on the check availability form (click here for a sample profile)
- PLUS:
- You can publish up to six of your own blog posts or content videos to our site over the course of the year (you’ll just need to email us the posts, which are subject to approval for quality control)
- You’ll get at least six mentions in our Better Life/Better Business Digest e-newsletter over the course of the year (like other digest-type emails, each edition includes a collection of links to the blog posts on our site and/or links to posts on our speakers’ sites — again, with the goal of getting you more visibility; current distribution is about 1100 meeting planners/prospects, and of course we want to grow that)
- We’ll pitch you as matching opportunities arise, I’ll also share opportunities for you to “apply” for speaking engagements when clients request more than our standard three speaker recommendations
- Investment: $495/year plus a 25% commission to The Speakers Group on the gross fee of any firm offers we bring to you, and a 10% referral fee on any leads/inquiries we provide to you for direct booking with the client
