For Speakers
If you've read the About page, you already know some of what I can do for you (If you haven't, be sure to check it out!). Now it's time to dig a little deeper.
The Social Web and Your Speaking Career
Just five years ago, if someone was interested in having you come speak at their event they would probably contact a speakers bureau or maybe your publisher. Today, many people would never think of doing that. First, they will Google you, looking for your website, Facebook page, or Twitter profile (at least one of which they will expect you to have). Then they will email, message, or Tweet you with their request.
As a speaker, this means an ever-increasing number of self-generated speaking requests. What are you going to do with them? Send them to me.
What You Can Expect From Me
What I do for you depends on what you need, but typically I will:
What's This Going To Cost?
My commission will depend on who generates the lead. If you bring the lead, you'll pay one flat percentage of your honorarium. If I solicit the lead for you, I'll ask for a tiny bit more. I don't post my rates online, but I can tell you this: my goal is to give you exactly what you want, which means you will only pay for what you need.
What Now?
The next best step is to contact me. Tell me about yourself, your needs, and your goals. If I can help, I will. If I can't, I'll let you know that, too. No pressure, no expectations, no obligations.

What You Can Expect From Me
What I do for you depends on what you need, but typically I will:
- Communicate with inquiring sponsors. When someone sends you a request, copy me in with a brief introduction and I'll take it from there.
- Work out the details. I will iron out the details and negotiate the terms (yes, including the often uncomfortable "money talk") with professionalism, consideration, and compassion.
- Draw up the contracts. I use DocuSign, a simple and secure digital signature service trusted by millions. This means contracts can be distributed and executed in a matter of minutes, not days or weeks.
- Be there till the end. I'll be there to take care of follow-ups, reminders, updates, and notifications until the agreement is executed.
