Why Meeting Planners Select Bill Cole With Confidence

Audiences connect rapidly with Bill because he is able to speak their language and he knows how to rapidly create rapport and a sincere connection with them. They can instantly tell he is there for them, not for himself.

You know how it is in the speaker business. Big egos. Demanding personalities. Expectations that the audience cater to the speaker. That's pretty poor customer service, but it's rampant in the meetings industry. Bill adheres to the philosophy that he is there for one reason -- to serve the audience members' needs and to deliver value -- add to the organization, from his unique perspective.

Please use this checklist to determine how well Bill will fit with your participants.

Do You Expect These Seven Characteristics In Your Speaker?

1. __ To deliver what they say they will deliver? Bill does that because he researches your needs in detail to be able to deliver the very best, on-target presentation possible. Every presentation Bill makes is customized to your audience.
   
   
2. __ To be a good listener? Probably most speakers are not skilled at listening. Their strength is speaking. Bill is energized when people make comments and questions, as that adds deeper meaning to the content. He is able to take a person's material right on the spot and coach them through it, so the entire audience benefits.
   
   
3. __ To ask provocative questions that make people think? As an extremely experienced coach, it's in Bill's nature to ask the insightful question, to make the intuitive comment that can help your audience reach deeper inside themselves than on their own.
   
   
4. __ To connect with your audience? In spite of his years of academic training and college teaching, coaching of world-class sports stars and corporate executives and celebrities, Bill is a down-to-earth, regular person. He speaks people's language, avoids jargon and builds a relationship with people. People are often surprised at Bill's lack of big ego, in spite of his many accomplishments.
   
   
5. __ To break down important, complex ideas and concepts into simple, easily digestible, practical strategies?

6. __ To engage in a spirited, enthusiastic dialogue from the platform? Many speakers shy away from taking questions and prefer to "speak" the entire program. Bill encourages give and take with everyone. He is quick on his feet, and people appreciate his spontaneous stories and humorous comments as he is then able to further customize his presentation to everyone present.
   
   
7. __ To be a pleasure to work with? Some speakers are just difficult. They're picky and demanding, and cause more work for the meeting planner.
