Speaker Bureau

A Speaker Bureau is an organization created to match motivational speakers and clients who need them for a fee.

It is normal procedure for the fee to be part of the gross amount taken in at an event and not a set fee or hourly wage. The average percent is between fifteen and thirty but most will ask for around twenty-five.

Be prepared to give the speaker bureau any materials for promotion which does not display the contact information for your company as they want to add their contact information instead.

The Speaker Bureau does not hire any motivational speakers who have not proven their ability in the profession. They will not consider a speaker who is inexperinece3d or who has not proven their talent for moving the public.

It is also a fact that unless your organization or event is popular with the public, a speaker bureau will not even consider working with you as the amount of the fee for gross will be too low to accommodate their needs.

The rule is, the more you make at the event, the more the speaker will take home so they prefer to take on events they know will pay the best.

The representative at the speaker bureau will know what speaker will work best for your event and the topic you want to discuss. It does not make any sense to hire someone who is more experienced in talking about women's issues if the key audience is a group of men.

The point will simply not be made as effectively as it would if it were a man speaking to them. The representative will also be able to answer any other questions that may arise from those who have never hired through their speaker bureau before.

There are two types of speaker bureau and each comes with its own set of rules.

The first is known as an exclusive bureau as it has a written agreement in place to ensure that all bookings will be carried out in much the same way and with the same outline each time.

The second type is known as a non-exclusive bureau which gives their requirements and outline based on the particular booking and event.
