A business speaker can be an incredibly powerful tool provided you are able to utilise the time you spend with them proactively. There are several tips you can follow that will help you to get the most out of investing in a speaker.
When you are selecting speakers you must be certain that in hiring them your needs will be met. There may be a conference focusing on issues of economic growth for instance and the organisers want to hire a speaker for the event. Hiring a speaker who discusses aspects of leadership is not the best choice for a conference on economic growth. This is not to say that talks on leadership are not useful, but instead to point out that a leadership speaker's area of expertise is not economic growth. Hence when you are selecting a speaker, only consider speakers who will talk on matters that will fulfil the expectations of those being addressed as well as those who hire the speaker. In terms of the conference on economy growth for example, a perfect speaker for such an event would be someone like Christopher Pissarides whose area of expertise is Economics and who received the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2010. It is important to choose a speaker who will tailor their address to each one of their audiences. It is important that a speaker always investigates what their employer expects as a result of the speaker's address and also who the audience will be and what they hope to gain from the speaker's remarks and then the speaker must plan the best way of achieving the employer's desired results and giving the audience what they want.
Speakers may be persuaded to help out with other areas besides their main address for no additional cost. For instance in addition to a keynote address a speaker might also be happy to give a breakout session within the fee they charge for the address. Other areas where speakers may be willing to provide their services without additional fees are introducing other speakers, moderating panels, signing autographs and helping others with their presentations. A company might for instance host an event and hire a speaker to give a keynote address but in addition to the speaker the company's CEO will also address the audience. If the CEO is a nervous public speaker, the hired speaker may agree for no extra cost to coach the CEO to help them with their public speaking. Even if speakers are not willing to do extra things for free, they may agree to do them at reduced rates since they have already been hired for at least one address.
Well-known speakers can help you to get sponsors for your event. As an example, a business may be interested in hiring Christopher Pissarides to speak at their event. Since Christopher Pissarides is a world-renowned economist, sponsors will be more inclined to sponsor the event than if the company hired a speaker who was not as renowned.
Sponsors will be aware that Christopher Pissarides will draw a large audience and thereby their brand will be exposed to a large number of people. Since the event offers such a fantastic opportunity for their brand to reach a big audience, the sponsors will look favourably on sponsoring the event.
If you take note of the tips above, you'll be able to obtain great returns on your investment of hiring a business speaker.
