HOW TO BECOME A SPEAKER
How To Become A Speaker
We are constantly seeking and evaluating new speakers on our clients' behalf. With more than 1,000 active speakers in our database, we must be selective and systematic in our approach to adding new speakers. We look for those with an established career, expert credentials in their field, and a professional presentation that is polished and can be customized for various audiences. Our ability to represent a speaker depends primarily on the promotional materials that the speaker provides. With the exception of celebrity status speakers, authors, and other individuals with significant name recognition, our clients depend heavily on a speaker's demo video and promotional packet when making their speaker selection. That is why it is important that your promotional packet be professional, complete with the following items.
