FAQ's
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What is the cost of using Simply Life Speakers Bureau to book my professional speaker(s)?
There are no additional costs for using Simply Life Speakers Bureau to arrange your speaker booking(s). We secure our commission directly from the speaker. The speaker pays Simply Life Speakers Bureau a commission from their fee. All Simply Life Speakers Bureau services are included in the speaker's set honorarium. Our clients are never billed for our services; you pay only your speaker's honorarium and expenses. Everything we do to ensure the success of your event, from start to finish - providing preview videos, contracting the speaker, coordinating schedules, making travel arrangements, doing all the preparatory legwork and much more - is free of charge. Instead, it is the speakers we represent who pay our fees.
Q: What type of speakers does Simply Life Speakers Bureau represent?
Virtually anyone in whom you would be interested! While we do have a select group of exclusive speakers, our goal is simply to secure the perfect speaker for your event. Whether that entails working directly with the speaker or utilizing our relationships with other bureaus and agencies around the world, there is hardly anyone we cannot book for you - at no additional cost.
As one of the nation's leading Full Service Celebrity speakers bureau, we offer top-rated keynote speakers and trainers, Consultants and Coaches on a variety of topics, including: sales, motivation, leadership, team building, communication, change management, innovation and a variety of other popular and specialized topics.
As mentioned above, Simply Life Speakers Bureau gives you full access to almost any speaker in India, Asia, the United States, Europe, Canada and throughout the world (whether exclusive or non-exclusive). Speakers we work with include: politicians, celebrities, compelling authors, management gurus, top motivational speakers, media personalities, sports heroes and other leading authorities.
Q: How much do keynote speakers generally cost?
Speaker fees vary widely depending on the speaker's popularity, his or her availability and the event requirements. Generally, fees for keynote speeches begin around INR. 85,000, with the average national keynote fee being INR. 3,00,000. For celebrity speakers and top business experts, fees can range from INR. 10,00,000 to INR. 25, 00,000 and up. For well-known personalities fees are usually over INR. 30,00,000. And people such as Amitabh Bachchan, motivational speaker Tony Robbins, Michael Porter and Bill Clinton are over INR 1 Crore. International fees are usually 25% to 50% more. In most cases, travel and lodging expenses are in addition to the speaker honorarium, including coach/business or first-class travel, accommodations and limited out-of-pocket expenses. We can also negotiate a flat travel fee
Q: Can I just book speakers directly?
Some speakers have their own Web sites and can be booked directly. Understandably, some event planners think they can get better pricing, quicker responses and more detailed information from speakers directly, but in actuality this is not the case.
By using Simply Life Speakers Bureau, event planners get the best of both worlds: personal contact with speakers at any point during the booking process, plus their Simply Life Speakers Bureau Account Executive - a knowledgeable and trustworthy assistant. There are distinct advantages to using Simply Life Speakers Bureau (and having a powerful advocate on your side), rather than booking speakers directly.
Q: What services does Simply Life speakers bureau® offer us once we have selected a speaker?
Once a speaker accepts your invitation, we handle all the business details to make absolutely certain there are no misunderstandings or glitches. We issue a contract. We coordinate all communication between you and the speaker to ensure that your specific program requirements are met. We work with you on all the logistics - from travel arrangements and accommodations to schedules and itineraries.
Q: What is the difference between "exclusive" versus "non-exclusive" representation of speakers?
"Exclusive" representation signifies that a speaker is represented by only one agency. The agency acts as an "out-sourced" office and single contact for the exclusive speaker and handles all calendar questions, event set up questions, special speaker needs, etc.
Many bureaus with exclusive speakers are committed to bringing their small group of exclusively represented speakers a certain number of engagements and income per year. A bureau with exclusive speakers might be less likely to negotiate on fees and possibly promote one of their exclusive speakers over other candidates - even if it means there might be a better speaker choice outside their bureau. Most exclusive speaker’s bureaus represent speakers that charge $25,000 and up. Simply Life Speakers Bureau maintains close relations with speakers in all price ranges.
Simply Life Speakers Bureau is contacted weekly by speakers interested in having us represent them exclusively. But we decline any exclusive ties in order to provide unbiased speaker recommendations to our clients. By nurturing equal relationships with all our speakers, we are free to recommend the best choice for your particular event and needs.
Q: Can I book a speaker who is exclusive with another agency through you?
Even though we have no exclusive speaker ties, Simply Life Speakers Bureau still has full access to any exclusive speaker that might fit your event. We frequently partner with the exclusive agencies to locate the best speakers for our client events.
These agencies give us a commission from their speaker fees just like a non-exclusive speaker, so there are no extra fees to you. You will enjoy the same access to exclusive speaker calendars, fee schedules, technical requirements, special needs and other pertinent information to help you plan your event in the most efficient manner possible.
We respect many of our speaker bureau peers who maintain exclusive speaker relationships, but when it comes to client's customized needs, we feel a non-exclusive bureau such as Simply Life Speakers Bureau can provide better, unbiased service without exclusive speaker obligations. We can fully focus our services and loyalty on you.
Q: what if something happens and my speaker is late or, even worse, cannot make it to my event?
The thought of a speaker's plane being delayed, a traffic jam on the way to the Event Venue or, even worse, a speaker who cancels at the last minute, haunts meeting planners. Flights do get canceled (our speakers always have back-up flights), weather Gods are unkind sometimes and a speaker could get sick. Thankfully, we have had to deal with only three speaker cancellations in our 7-year history! However, this is when we really shine. All of our resources, our knowledge and our contacts can be put together to find a replacement speaker ASAP.
Q: how do we follow up a great event? Heightened expectations bring heightened demands
Event planners rarely have the luxury of basking in their successes. No sooner is one event concluded than next year's event - or next season's event - begins to intrude. As impossible as it may seem to top your last event (isn't that a problem you WANT to have?!), our expertise combined with our vast database of quality speakers are at your service to assist you in doing just that!

WHY BOOK TALENT WITH US?
Benefits of using Simply Life Speakers Bureau include:
Pre-Booking (saving event planners time and money):
Pre-Booking (saving event planners time and money):
- Independent bureau: we do not maintain any exclusive speaker relationships so there is no conflict of interest. Our only concern is finding and securing the best candidates for your event and within your budget.
- Inside scoop: we keep up-to-date on all our speakers, maintain detailed feedback records from past events and know exactly what's going on now in the market. We give our clients unbiased inside information on any speaker on the circuit today.
- Quick responses: many times speakers are very difficult to get hold of directly. We get information from speakers faster (especially "celebrity" speakers) because we have their direct contact information and they are more inclined to get back to us more quickly since we are known to them. We are easy to reach when you need us.
- One-stop source: in addition to the over 3,000 speakers we have direct contact with, Simply Life Speakers Bureau also partners with exclusive bureaus and can research and find almost anyone. You have access to any speaker you want - which saves you time and energy trying to track people down. Instead of wading through lot's of information and Web sites, getting fees and availability, setting conference calls, etc., all you need to do is turn to your trusted Simply Life Speakers Bureau Account Executive for the information and experienced advice you need to make an informed decision.
- Easy information access: Simply Life is the largest online catalog of any Asian speakers bureau on the Web - over 1,200 keynote speakers are featured (most with online streaming demo videos). We can send DVDs, testimonial referrals and speaker kits for review; set-up conference calls with speakers and provide valuable inside information.
- Special pricing: many times we can negotiate special pricing terms since we have good, longstanding relations with all our speakers, exclusive agents and other bureaus. Because we bring speakers repeat business and have worked with most of them for over a decade, they are more likely to discount an event for us than for a client directly.
- Value added: Simply Life Speakers Bureau has long-standing partnerships with our speakers and other bureaus. In addition to discount pricing, we can also negotiate special additions to a keynote event such as free books, complimentary break-out sessions, book signings, media interviews, interactive / Web-based features and more.
- Contracting: our booking contract secures and helps protect our clients from unforeseen circumstances. Simply Life Speakers Bureau is the insurance and peace of mind you need when making your important keynote speaker decisions
- Last minute substitute: if a speaker cannot make a presentation - even with a short cancellation notice - we can help find and secure a great substitute quickly.
- Conference calls, travel and program details: we help facilitate smooth communication between clients and speakers during the program planning stage.
- Event follow-up: we provide a post-event speaker evaluation so you can provide feedback about your speaker(s) and Simply Life Speakers Bureau.
- Dispute resolution: we help resolve any issues that might arise between clients and speakers. Occasionally, for example, there is confusion over travel expenses, presentation taping or other issues - we help settle things amicably.
