A Word About Your Return-On-Investment In Our
Professional Speaking Services
Professional speaking is a glamorous, high-paid,
easy, carefree career.
Professional speakers make a lot of money for just a few minutes
talking on the platform.
Really?
If that were true, then couldn't a meeting planner get almost anyone
to stand up there and give a speech? Who wouldn't want all that
glamour and high pay? In reality, we all know that's not the case.
Ninety percent of the people in the world are deathly afraid of
public speaking. It's the number two biggest fear they have. Only
the fear of death ranks higher.
If you are truly looking to minimize the fees you pay a presenter,
there are ample opportunities to contact local High School drama
and debate students who would eagerly come in for free to present
a program. Or, a local toastmaster group would be glad to send out
folks to practice their deliveries. Or, you could merely have someone
from inside your own firm stand up and deliver, saving considerable
money. Of course, we jest.
Clearly, you are not hiring a presenter based on their time. You
are not paying for someone to just give a speech. You hire them
based on the results they can provide your organization. The ROI
is what matters.
Your investment in our speaking services is NOT based on the
following:
| |
• |
|
The length of time we present or the
length of time we are with your people. |
| |
• |
|
Any pro-ration of, or comparison to
any of our other fee structures.. |

in? Is that your Return On Investment?
Your investment value actually does NOT come from all the above.
The above is merely the vehicle that provides you the value-add.
Your ROI is the change in thinking, emotions and behavior in your
people that allows them to reach new breakthroughs in their own
peak performance. That leads to breakthroughs in their team's peak
performance. That leads to breakthroughs in organizational performance
that leads to sustainable bottom-line competitive advantage.
We invite you to make an investment in the sustainable growth and
profitability of your business.
