A Special Message For The Selection Committee At PTDA
More Information About Getting The Most From Your Speakers
WHAT DOES IT COST TO HIRE A SALES SPEAKER?
Selecting a keynote speaker is a difficult process, mostly because so few speakers take the time to learn about the audience they’re presenting to, understand their challenges and work collaboratively with you to ensure your outcomes are met within your budget. Some speakers say they speak for free, and others charge tens of thousands of dollars. To help you better select your speaker, we put together a simple system to guide you in understanding what’s available at different fee ranges.
WHAT ARE THE BEST SALES SPEAKERS DOING TO ENGAGE THEIR AUDIENCES?
Many speakers have great content but don’t involve audiences in their presentations, which means folks playing on their phones, engaging in side conversations and otherwise ignoring the speaker. In this video, we explain how the best speakers weave in engagement throughout their presentations so you’ll understand what to expect from top-tier speakers and be comfortable that they’ll be talking with your audience at not at them.
ENSURING YOUR ATTENDEES HAVE A GREAT EXPERIENCE WITH YOUR SPEAKER
A lot of celebrity speakers and ‘thought leaders’ show up five minutes before they’re due on stage and then race to the airport . In this video, we explain options the best speakers make available in creating an experience for your audience that gets them excited about registering for the event, gets them ready to connect and learn before they arrive on site or log into your virtual meeting, creates an interactive experience while the speaker is delivering their content, and that lasts long after your attendees return home or log off your virtual event platform.

UNDERSTANDING SPEAKER TAKE-AWAYS AND WHICH ONES ARE RIGHT FOR YOUR AUDIENCE
If you’ve have heard from past audience members that they wanted more take-aways from this year’s speaker , you may be wondering what that means – and even what’s available? This video provides an overview of the types of take-aways speakers offer and will help you understand which ones might be a great fit for your event and audience type.
WHAT IF I'M HAVING A VIRTUAL EVENT/MY LIVE EVENT GOES VIRTUAL?
As many of our live events go virtual, I’d like to share with you what you should be looking for and asking from any speaker that you’re considering for a potentially virtual event – and in today’s climate, all events are ‘potentially virtual’. By the end of this video, you’ll have a better understanding of how great speakers are managing virtual platforms and how you can ensure your audience’s experience with your speaker is still engaging and informative.
ARE BOOKS THE RIGHT FIT FOR MY AUDIENCE?
Many event organizers wonder if including a speaker’s books is the right choice for their event. Books, in a variety of formats, can be great take-aways for audience members in both live and virtual settings, but it’s important to understand the options available with books and their impact before making a decision. After watching this video, you’ll know more about how a speaker’s books might add to your event experience and what you should be asking speakers for when you’re considering purchasing a speaker’s book for your attendees.
