I've
never booked a speaker before. What if I don't know what kind of
speaker I want? This happens often and we do this all
the time, just give us a call and be prepared to answer the following
questions:
Date:
City, State Country:
Location: (hotel/training center/your facility or ours?)
What kind of meeting: (convention, symposium/trade show/annual event/party/banquet)
How many training slots will you want to fill? (HINT - often times
the same speaker can deliver a keynote address and a seminar/workshop
for your group. You will save money on travel and expenses.)
Number of people in the group/audience:
Demographics: (age/sex/career level/other)
Preferred topics: (sales/customer service/time management etc.)
The specific goals and objectives for the meeting: (be as specific
as possible)
Budget for speaker, trainer, program and if it includes travel and
expenses
Does
it cost more for a longer presentation?
Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. You can often find fees
broken out by the type of program: Keynote speech, seminar, workshop,
etc. plus for the length of program.
Once
I choose a speaker, what's next? How does the process work? We
send a contract, and our preprogram questionnaire. A deposit is
normally made at the time of signing. Once we receive the contract
and deposit from you, we follow up with:
1. An initial
planning interview
2. Background development
3. Detailed development
We will pass
the information along to the speaker and set up a convenient time
for a phone call or series of calls with your key people.
How
will Frank's team support me once the choice has been made?
We make sure plans and time lines are finalized
and the objectives and goals are met on time.
Will
Frank sign books and give autographs or be available for a VIP photo
session? In most cases Frank is happy to do that for
the client. Note: In some cases such as professional athletes, they
reserve the right to autographs by limiting them.
Do
I have to arrange travel for the speaker? In virtually
all cases Frank Candy prefers to handle his own arrangements. We'll
let you know and proceed with what's best for everybody.
Can
presentations be audio or video taped? In most cases
it can be arranged for you if done in advance. Based on the desired
use and outcome of the tape, sometimes there are copyrights, royalties,
time limits and other issues that need to be discussed and agreed
upon in writing.
