I have some benefits to offer you that most other speakers
don't have. Here's a list... see what you think:
1.
Low maintenance. I'm a
veteran speaker, having been paid to speak since 1979. I
have also mentored speakers for many years and negotiated
contracts for them as a speaker agent from 1991 to 2008, so
I know the ropes from both sides of the table. I know what
questions to ask and many ways I can best help you to have
a most successful and memorable event.
I don't need hand-holding, but
I'm happy to assist you if you are new to organizing events
and hiring speakers. I'm good at both seeing the big
picture and handling the small details. This leaves you
more time to attend to the less-experienced or high
maintenance speakers.
2.
Affordable. Don't
confuse affordable with low cost. My fees are mid-range and
I'm worth every penny. What I'm saying is that I can give
your group a number of
creative ways to afford my fee. There
should be no way you will have to reject me as a speaker
based on fee.
3.
Available in an emergency. Because
I choose to not have a fully-booked speaking schedule, I
can be available in a day, and sometimes in 4 to 6 hours,
when you need me to
fill in for a scheduled speaker who has
fallen ill or has been stranded.
4.
Frugality. I'm not
a prima donna who needs flowers and champagne in her room.
I don't run up a big room service bill or expect First
Class Airfare. In fact, I dislike flying and would
prefer to drive. (The
more I see of our country the better.) Taking the train is
another option because I get to read and talk to other
people en route to you.
5.
Citizenship.
I can work in both Canada and the United States with no
immigration problems. I hold
United States citizenship
as well as
Permanent Resident Status in Canada.
I can accept payment in both Canadian and US currency, and
maintain bank accounts in both countries. (I have a US
Social Security Number and a Canadian Social Insurance
number.)
6.
Promotion.
For several decades, I promoted authors, speakers and
practitioners and was able to
generate publicity
in the national and international press, and book
appearances on national television and radio for both
clients and myself. If you would like me to promote my
appearance in advance of your event, I'd be happy to do
that to increase interest and attendance.
I'll add more as I think of them.
