What Every Speaker Wants to Know About Securing PAID Speaking Engagements

Answers to the Top 3 Most Frequently Asked Questions from a Booking Agent That Has Secured Over 2,000 Speaking Engagements

Learn Detailed Strategies to Position Yourself As a Professional Speaker... Prospect for Speaking Engagements... and Profit from Teaching Others What You Know

Are you a fresh face in the speaking industry that needs to know how to go about booking your own speaking engagements and wants to get paid to speak about your expertise?

Or maybe you've landed a speaking engagement here and there, but you're ready to start making serious money as a professional speaker, filling your calendar with PAID speaking engagements, but you don't have a system for keeping a steady stream of prospects coming in... or a process to book and maintain a steady flow of speaking engagements?

Regardless if you’re a beginning speaker or an intermediate speaker... and frankly, some experienced speakers can benefit from this ... there are three questions that are relevant to the growth of your speaking business and your success as a PAID public speaker.

1. How do I make myself "known" as a professional speaker?

2. What are meeting planners looking for and what are the hot topics?

3. How should I price myself?

When you have the answers to these three questions, you will have the ability to instantly pocket more money as a professional speaker and find yourself on a supercharged path to filling your calendar with more speaking engagements that you ever thought possible!

Attention: Public speakers, experts, authors, activists, top producers and cultural icons who want to get paid to speak...

Hello, my name is Mary McKay and I am a speaker marketing strategist who has secured over 2,000 speaking engagements as a booking agent for authors, experts and cultural icons including such internationally recognized figures as Wayne Dyer, Norman Vincent Peale, Norman Cousins, Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, Capt. Gerald Coffee, Art Linkletter, Paul Harvey, Robert Schuller, Charles Kuralt, Les Brown, Tom Sullivan, Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Tommy Lasorda, Chip Bell, Robert Kriegel and John Alston.  Some I have represented exclusively, others didn’t know I had brokered the appearance. .

I have been on the front lines for nearly 30 years as a booking agent for speakers and have the required knowledge that it takes to land paid speaking engagements and successfully market yourself as a professional go-to expert speaker. That's why speakers continually turn to me for a steady flow of inside information on boosting their speaking business.

"Mary is a master... " "It is an art not only to acquire the engagements by knowing who to contact but also knowing how to contact them, how to speak to them and how to persuade and how to help them understand that your particular speaker is the ideal answer to their meeting needs.  Mary is a master of that.  She can teach you how to do it."  - Greg Link Co-founder and CDO (Chief Dealmaking Officer) of CoveyLink. Link is lead publishing and marketing advisor to Stephen R. Covey, Sean Covey, Roger & Rebecca Merrill, Hyrum Smith and other FranklinCovey authors

After years of perfecting a simple and routine process for prospecting and securing speaking engagements I have helped many speakers find a hidden fortune in teaching others what they knew. Time and time again, I am grilled by seasoned speakers who want me to share even a fraction of what I know about getting paid to speak.

Well, today I have a confession to make...

I'm getting tired... tired of the same song and dance... tired of answering the same questions again and again.

That's why I decided to spill the beans and revealed my booking strategies during an intimate interview. I wanted to help speakers clear away the fog by answering the top frequently asked questions that most speakers just have to stumble through and learn the hard way...

Quite frankly, there are some speakers who find themselves out of the business by refusing to tackle these marketing tips.

I Bent Over Backwards to Reveal What Every Public Speaker MUST Know to Get Paid to Speak

During an intimate interview I answered the top three questions that I am constantly being grilled over...

	How to make yourself "known" as an expert and professional speaker... so that you become the go-to-expert in the industry.
	What meeting planners are looking for and how to know what hot topics are the big buzz today.
	How to determine your speaking fee and knowing the value you bring to meeting planners

In answering the three questions above, an avalanche of information on how to secure paid speaking engagements was revealed. The interviewer could not believe how I could go on and on for nearly an hour answering just three questions...in fact, one person stated that it was like taking a drink of water from Niagara Falls!

That's when I realized that I had taken advantage of my knowledge that nearly 30 years of experience has brought me... That's when I realized that the detailed information I have is extremely if not impossible to come by and that this interview was actually a training that would help hundreds, if not thousands of speakers learn the necessary steps that it takes to position themselves, reach out to meeting planners and land paid speaking engagements.

So, I have taken the interview recording and transcript and combined them with additional tools that I have in my booking arsenal to bring you...
