Return Phone Calls

Return Phone Calls

If you are a speaker, a basic rule to remember is that event planners don’t want to keep having to email you and call you to get a hold of you. So if you are a busy person, assign someone the responsibility of checking your message and emails. Give that person access to your calendar because some planners want to get a commitment as soon as possible and if you take a week to return a phone call, another speaker that was waiting by the phone could end up getting your gig.

Plus not keeping in touch is a bad business practice. If you have to, setup an automatic email response with phone numbers and other people to call to get in contact with you. This helps build trust between you and an event planner. Very few planners do booking solely via email. Click to continue »

Book A Youth Speaker

Book a Youth Speaker

Who books youth speakers?

The answer to this is simple. Anybody who is in charge of a group of students can book a speaker. Simply choose a topic that you want a speaker to address and then contact experts in the field who speak to youth.

Do youth speakers charge?

Absolutely! Be aware that booking a youth speaker will come at a cost. That’s okay though you want to pay for a speaker. Just like you want teachers to get paid for teaching because you know they are going to do the best teaching job they can do. The same is true for speakers and they know that their reputation is on the line if they do not prepare for their speech. Plus many professional speakers live off of referrals so they know to impress those who book them so they can increase the number of days they speak. To youth speakers, every day that they are not speaking is a day that they are not getting paid, believe me, speakers want to keep their calendars full. Click to continue »

Youth Conference Speaker

Why You Should Hire One

Microphone for Youth Speakers

Every time a conference is held for young people, there is a specific need to have a youth conference speaker. Perhaps this is primarily because most young people are very different from adult audience. For one, young people are very impatient. If they could not relate to whatever a speaker is saying, they will just immediately turn away and start chatting with their seatmates.

Additionally, young people could not help their reaction to fun. Once they sense that boredom is hovering somewhere within a speech, they will find ways to entertain themselves, which includes not listening to the speech altogether. There are so many reasons, but it all goes down to the fact that having young people for a conference audience will get you stressed out. Click to continue »

Hiring a Motivational Speaker for Youth

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

Kids are very easy to talk to, as making the pitch of your voice a little higher would be fairly enough. Adults, too, have very much cultivated themselves to know what to do when they are being talked to. Teenagers, on the other hand, will require so much more effort on your side.

It’s not that young people are generally disrespectful. It just happens that, being in a transition stage, they are at a very emotionally unstable time in their lives. They don’t know what proper conduct means, they don’t even care about what people think about them. For most teenagers, the world revolves around them, everything else that disagrees should go away. That’s the reason why a lot of parents go haywire once their child gets into adolescence period. Now, if talking to one teenager is excruciatingly difficult, what more talking to a large group of teenagers? Click to continue »

Hire a Youth Speaker

Youth SpeakingAre you looking into hiring a youth speaker but have no idea where to look?

Well you are not alone. Many event planners are in the same boat because there is a lot of pressure that comes with hiring the right speaker for your event. It’s good to first see who the audience is going to be. If you bring in a youth speaker just because your audience is teens, you may be in trouble.

You must look into the background of your speaker and even interview that person over the phone. The last thing you want is to bring in a speaker that is full of himself and cannot relate to any of the students.

Some questions you may ask a speaker before you hire him to speak to your youth.

How long have you been in the speaking business?

What is your highest level of education?

Do you have a set fee?

Do you have a one sheet with speaking topics?

These are only a couple of examples of questions that you must always ask before hiring a speaker. The point is to have a reference sheet for you to look at when communicating with a speaker. Speakers know they have to asnswer questions and they are ready to provide answers. This is not like buying a car where you have to think about it, give a price, wait while the salesman talks to his manager. Not at all, you simply ask enough questions for you to feel comfortable about hiring the youth speaker you are contacting.

Be professional about it. Keep in mind that you and the speaker need to have the students in mind every step of the way and this will help you make a decision on which person best fits your audience.
