What’s a Speaker Worth?
Many times people wonder why speakers charge what they do. Good speakers do their homework, they will research your specific needs and provide a program that is both entertaining, educational and has a real dollar value attached. As a speaker I want you to get the most value for hiring me - and that includes ways I can help audience members generate revenue and/or save money. Here's an example:
Assume you have 100 people in the audience. a) In your audience is Person A, who has plans to build a website and has recently received quotes from two different web designers, for $3,000.00 and $3,500.00. After hearing my seminar they realize they only need to spend $1,500.00 For this ONE person the ACTUAL VALUE of my seminar is = $1,500.00 - $2,000.00 b) In my presentation I explain how to use ‘targeted email’ (NOT SPAM). Let’s assume 10 people in the audience follow my advice and send 100 emails, and each gets ONLY 5 responses = 50 responses. Each response has an average value of $79.00 For these people the ACTUAL VALUE of my seminar is = $3,950.00 These two examples would save the people implementing them AT LEAST $5,450.00 Plus, many people who attend will take away ideas that they will use at a later date. Every time they refer to the notes they took at the seminar, they will see YOUR company’s name and be reminded of the benefits they received from you. The value of a seminar can continue for years after the event. By clearly marking all materials that are given away – with your company or organization’s name and logo you get LONG TERM value for marketing dollars you spend only once. All members of your audience are welcome to subscribe to my free email newsletter and receive tips, motivation and help in growing their business every month! They will remember that they received the subscription as a result of attending a seminar sponsored by YOUR company! The above examples clearly illustrate the value of a good speaker. A top quality speaker will provide value during the event, immediately after AND in the long run. I work to provide 100% quality and service to every group I work with. I pride myself on giving my audiences what they need in an informative and entertaining manner. I look forward to working with you, as a “team” for the long term benefit of everyone involved. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have, or make suggestions – at ANY stage of the process! Want more information?
