Here are 30 of our most Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s) to help determine if we are a fit! Everything you ever wanted to know about working with Franchise Speakers AND MORE!
Here are five compelling reasons to work with speaker bureau that focuses on franchising:
No. There is never a fee to our clients for leveraging our 16+ years of experience and expertise in providing impactful motivational business speakers to the franchise sector. Our model is similar to a real estate model where the seller pays the agents commission. Our Speaker Partners trust us to find the exact right audiences to share their wisdom with. We earn commission from the speaker based on each ‘match’ we make.
Fee integrity is very important to both Franchise Speakers and to our valued Speaker Partners. A fee quoted by us will be the same fee quoted by the speaker.
SPEAKER FEE:
The majority of our clients are franchise systems with 100-500 units and invest between $20,000 to $35,000 in a keynote speaker. Of course, as franchise systems grow, the size of their event grows with them allowing for an increase in speakers budget. For larger clients we often book multiple speakers, breakout and workshop trainers, and a show emcee. These budgets can range from $75,000 to $200,000 to create a WOW! experience for the entire franchise system.
Here are a few fee ranges that are typical in our experience:
Keynote – 60-75 Minutes – $20,000 – $35,000
Breakouts -$15,000 – $25,000
Breakouts -$7,500 – $12,500
The fee for your franchise speaker will depend on the speaker’s experience and the session’s complexity and requirements. Some speakers will be open to adding on an additional breakout or workshop, or facilitate a panel or roundtable at a reduced fee. Franchise Speakers can help you maximize your speaker investment in many creative ways.
Keep in mind, the more renowned the speaker, the higher the fee they will command, reflective of their expertise and draw.
TRAVEL FEE:
Speaker travel expenses are always in addition to the speaking fee unless specifically stated. Clients are responsible for covering the speaker’s travel expenses including: airfare, ground transportation in home and host cities, meals, and incidentals.
The client is responsible for booking the speaker’s hotel room for up to two nights. Typically this is billed directly to the client’s Master Account.
We always recommend a ‘Flat Travel Fee’, also called a ‘Travel Buyout’ for everything except the hotel accommodations. This Flat Travel Fee greatly simplifies logistics for both the client and the speaker AND allows the client to know what their actual total speaker investment will be: Speaker Fee + Speaker Travel Fee + Speaker Hotel = TOTAL Speaker Expense.
