Speaker Bureaus

You’ve got a speech you told the world you’re a speaker.

Now all he has to do is sit back and wait for the phone to ring from those speaker bureaus.

Right.

Sorry it’s not that easy.

In fact speaker bureaus are not going to call you unless you’re already famous from something else if you’re a retiring NBA star.

Sure speaker bureaus will call but if you’re not a household name speaker bureaus will not call you.

Well that’s okay.

I’ll just call that now.

At this stage of your career it is a complete utter waste of time to reach out to speaker bureaus.

They will be interested in you after you have a very solid track record of speaking for substantial fees at least five thousand dollars per speech for several years and there is a proven track record.

Then and only then will Speaker viewers be interested in you so don’t waste your time chasing the elusive speaker here.

They are not the answers to your questions.

These days people look for speakers all over the place and your own contacts on Twitter Facebook on YouTube.

People who know you people who read your blog.

Those are the people.

If you’re putting out the right message who are likely to engage you as a professional speaker.

So for now just put aside the whole speaker bureau.

At some point they may be an important part of what you do but you need to have a real track record give a whole lot of speeches make a bunch of money before the economics makes sense for speaker bureaus.
