FAQ – HOW IT WORKS

Bookings: We vet and negotiate all inquiries from initial outreach to firm offer. Additionally, we proactively prioritize and propose our exclusive talent when building proposals for event organizers. Our advisors have a deep understanding of our talent’s unique talents and how to differentiate their background and relevance for each audience. We are also adept at handling inquiries outside of traditional speaking engagements to best negotiate any business or publicity opportunity for our talent.

Events: Our event coordinators manage all logistics surrounding the event including pre-calls with the event organizers, populating the full agenda and travel itinerary, providing our speakers with the flexibility to book their preferred travel while assisting them with understanding what is expected of them onsite. They take great care to make sure appropriate accommodations are arranged, audio visual needs are addressed in advance, and any other special requests are managed, whether it’s a book signing, VIP Meet and Greet, or additional meal or meeting.

Promotions: Our marketing department prioritizes our exclusive speakers in our newsletters and email blasts, social media, blog articles, and our podcast series. We contribute articles on behalf of our talent to national publications and submit them for unpaid high-profile media and conference events to showcase their speaking and broaden their exposure. We market our exclusive talent to all other speakers bureaus and agencies for co-broker opportunities and are one of the leading bureaus who’s shaping the best practices for equitable commission sharing and engaging with each other as partners.   

Speaking: As experts with decades of collective experience in the speaking industry, we provide high-level support and feedback on the quality and opportunities for our speakers. We take an active role in topic and positioning refinement, share constructive critiques on style, presence, content, pace, voice, among other components. We SHOW UP to see our exclusive talent on stage and leverage those opportunities to build a deeper rapport, understanding, and vocabulary to best represent their ideas and impact on audiences. We also have a network of external resources that can provide additional coaching and support for presentation building and enhancement.
