Many meeting planners and others who book speakers often wonder why it costs $5,000 or more to find a professional speaker for a conference or event.Well, so did Ray E. Brooks and Stephen A. Burgess, co-founders of Speakers Alive!
Mr. Brooks, with 30 years of professional speaking background, and Mr. Burgess, a noted speaker to corporations and professional organizations, co-founded the organization over breakfast one morning several months ago. Mr. Brooks had formed a similar organization in the San Francisco Bay area 15 years ago, but his work brought him to Southern California. This speakers group had become quite successful but without his leadership the agency quietly faded away.
Both Mr. Brooks and Mr. Burgess are entrepreneurs and have their own consulting firms in Orange County. Mr. Brooks also holds the highest distinction in the internationally recognized Toastmasters organization. Mr. Burgess is a #1 Best Selling author.
Speakers Alive! is an agency with certified, professional speakers whose prices range from $500 to $5,000. They are the most affordable speaker agency in southern California, perhaps the country.
Speakers Alive! not only has the lowest prices for great speakers but they promise No travel expenses since all of their speakers live in southern California. They are currently only marketing to the southern California market but may expand operations to other areas within the United States in the future.
They provide a wide range of speakers with an even a wider range of topics to fulfill the needs of every audience. They have a great arrangement for their speakers as well. Unlike traditional agencies or bureaus, they only retain a small percentage of the fees. They also guarantee to provide their customers a backup speaker in the unlikely case of an accident or emergency situation where the speaker who is booked cannot attend.
Speakers Alive! is truly a dynamic new speaking agency that is setting a new paradigm for the speaking industry.
