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.
First, it is important to ensure that the speaker is going to address your needs. Consider a conference where the focus will be on issues of growing the economy and the event organisers are deciding which speaker they should hire. 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. Therefore it is vital that when choosing a speaker, only to choose from a selection of speakers who directly address the needs and expectations of the audience at hand. For example, Christopher Pissarides, winner of the 2010 Nobel Prize in Economics, would be an ideal speaker for such a conference. 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. Speakers may agree to help out for no extra charge with a range of tasks such as moderating a panel, introducing other speakers at the event, in certain circumstances signing autographs and also with assisting employer representatives with their own addresses. 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. The CEO might not be a confident public speaker, so the company may be able to get the speaker to assist the CEO with his or her presentation as part of the standard fee the speaker charges. 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.
Hiring famous speakers is an excellent way to gain event sponsorship. For instance, consider a company who wants to hire Christopher Pissarides for an event they are hosting. If Christopher Pissarides will be addressing the event, it makes it a more appealing prospect for the sponsors as Christopher Pissarides is a famous economist, whereas if a less famous speaker will be addressing the event then the sponsors may not be as keen to sponsor it.
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. The prospect of a large audience makes it worthwhile for the sponsors to invest in the event.
Following the above advice will help you to maximise the time you have with a business speaker.
