Frequently Asked Questions

DOES IT COST MORE TO BOOK THROUGH FRANCHISE SPEAKERS?

No. You will not pay more to use Franchise Speakers to help you find just the right speaker.  There is never an additional charge for using our bureau service.  Fee integrity is very important to us. We quote the speakers’ fees and travel expenses just as each speaker would. We will negotiate on your behalf for a commitment to engage a single speaker for multiple presentations.

WHAT IS THE COST RANGE OF SPEAKERS LISTED WITH FRANCHISE SPEAKERS?

Presenter fees range from $5,000-$15,000 for training and breakout sessions. Keynotes range from $7,500 to $20,000, generally. Of course, we work with lots of speakers in the $20,000 plus fee range often and love many of them. In addition to the fee, you can expect to pay for all travel expenses, which include airfare, ground transportation, hotel accommodations, meals, and incidentals. Most often, presenters charge a flat travel fee to cover airfare and ground, with hotel and incidentals while on site, billed to Client’s Master Account.

WHAT SHOULD I BE LOOKING FOR WHEN BOOKING A SPEAKER?

Results. You want your audience to walk away with information they can use immediately.  You want information that is grounded in experience, research-proven concepts and nationally recognized expertise.  You want a speaker who engages the audience on many levels, not the least being that they stimulate ideas, generate questions and leave the audience excited to implement what they just learned.  Franchise Speakers carefully screens and selects our speakers to ensure that we deliver just these key qualities each and every time.

Equally important is the match between the culture of your audience and the speaker you select.  Will this speaker really connect with my team?  Franchise Speakers is keenly sensitive to helping you select the best content and the best professional to deliver that content.

Through an engaging pre-event dialogue, we’ll help you quickly identify exactly what you are looking for.  Don’t know what you do want?  We can help you figure it out by getting clear on what you DON’T want.  Call us– we’re ready to help!

HOW DO I GET STARTED?

    Susan Milkowski, VP, Learning & Development Buffalo Wings & Rings
  • Recently, as we were gearing up to head to a conference in Phoenix, our Keynote Speaker unfortunately had to cancel giving us only 1 business day to react. I have known Katrina Mitchell for some time and of course, she was the first person I called to help. Within a few short hours, Katrina had lined up 3 strong candidates. By the end of the day, the Board of the association had decided on one, and he was on a plane bound for Phoenix. He took the time to come in early, study up with board members and deliver an outstanding speech. I am so grateful to have Franchise Speakers on speed dial, and I am even more grateful to Katrina and Debbie for their assistance and guidance!
