Tips for Working with Speakers

The planner/speaker partnership is one that is special. Here are some thoughts I have accumulated over these last 25 years:

	A professional speaker should have: Pre and post surveys, questionnaire, room set up, speaker needs, a contract/letter of agreement, handout (educational, NOT promotional).
	Back of the room sales is your decision. There are many speakers who do not do it and others who will gladly honor your wishes.
	Local bookstores will come to conventions to sell books and tapes and they will give multiple sales discounts. Ingram has accounts with many companies and associations that have inhouse book/resource centers.
	NIGHTMARE Prevention: Many best-selling authors are wonderful speakers...even more are not!!! That is why they write! Make sure that the best-selling author can deliver a program and understands the profession of running a business as a speaker.

	Insist that a speaker arrive early enough so that you are not given cause to worry. Relying on timely plane arrivals is not a good idea. Are there any anymore???
	Aretha Franklin said or sang it best... it is always about the R E S P E C T which is mutual to make meeting a success.
