Why Hire a Speaker Bureau?
By Michelle Steffes
 From a wider scope, a Realtor is connected to many other Realtors allowing the possibilities of what is available to expand exponentially. This is also true of Speaker Bureaus, it is not uncommon for one to contact another on behalf of a client. Finally, Realtors who prove to be excellent are more concerned with the needs of the client and will go the extra mile to assist them in finding the right home.
Comparatively, Speaker Bureaus share the same goal for it’s clients offering many perks such as:
Negotiation Leverage – With speakers fees, especially with Speaker Bureaus who have formed relationships with many of their speakers and have an integral track record.
Speaker Coordination Service – This is where Realtors and Speaker Bureaus differ. Realtors will charge you a percentage once the transaction occurs. Many Speaker Bureaus will not reflect any payment to the planners of the event as all fees are contracted with the speaker in advance. From the initial conversation to the close of your event, Bureaus are on the job to ensure complete and excellent service is provided for your event at no cost to you.
Smooth Transactions – Nothing speaks louder than experience. Bureaus understand all the “tricks of the trade” and can coordinate everything seamlessly. Handling the search, negotiation, coordination, assistance and follow up on all the details from front to back.
Value Added Services - This can vary from Bureau to Bureau, however, agency’s such as ours can offer a sort of “one stop shopping” experience in covering all of your event needs with one call. Many Speaker Bureaus offer webinars, live web streaming and virtual conferencing, mobile event management and event enhancers. These services are often added to create a package for our clients and reduce the time it takes to coordinate all that is required for a successful event.
The success of either service is measured by making your life easier and helping you meet your goals. Your organization is unique and deserves a program built to meet your specific requirements.
