Hello! You're probably here because you are looking for a speaker who will help you create a memorable experience for your audience. At this point, you are likely considering:
1. Which speaker is the right fit for your event/audience?
2. Will they address the unique needs of your audience and deliver on your expectations?
3. Will they be engaging, interactive, and provide actionable takeaways?

I brought Ted in to speak to my sales team. I was looking for him to help them become more engaged, more consistent, and more productive. He was very easy to work with and customized his program to fit our audience. This gave him instant credibility with the sales team. Not only did he deliver great content, but his style was very interactive and inspirational. The feedback I've received from the attendees has been overwhelmingly positive, and several of our attendees told me that Ted was the best speaker they have ever heard. I completely agree with them. If you are considering hiring Ted for your event, don't think twice. You will be thankful that you did. The value he brings was well worth the investment.

Here are some key questions to get answered when you're hiring a speaker:
1. How will they tailor their content to relate to your audience? A speaker who is unrelatable to audience members (translation: did not do their homework ahead of time) will quickly be ignored in favor of the smartphone that's in their pocket.
2. Why do they charge what they charge? There is a reason that some speakers charge $500 for a keynote and others charge $50K (hint: inexpensive speakers aren't charging less than others out of the kindness of their hearts). The right speaker should be able to clearly articulate the value they bring and why they are worth what they charge.
3. How can they assure you that their performance will measure up to your expectations? It's easy to create an enticing persona online, but the right speaker should be able to back that up (hint: ask them to!).
Here are some questions for you to consider:
1. How important is it that you hire the right speaker for this event? If you can afford for a speaker to bomb, then an inexpensive amateur will suffice. If you want to ensure that the speaker knocks it out of the park, invest in hiring a professional who will ensure that your goals are achieved.
2. What are the biggest challenges/pain points that you want a speaker to help address?
3. What do you want your audience to think, feel, or do differently as a result of this presentation?
