When
it comes to planning special events -
whether you are a seasoned veteran or
find yourself juggling a myriad of
details for the very first time - we
have the experience to help you succeed.
We'll take care of the painful details
while you focus on the big picture. We
can help you find that perfect speaker
that will fit your event objectives.
Our
Services Cost You Nothing - we are paid
by the speakers!
We
provide our "turn-key" service
to you at no charge because we are paid
by the speakers. Why would speakers pay
us rather than take your call directly?
Speakers do it because it's good
business - we handle all the details. It
is very difficult for a busy speaker to
return your calls when traveling between
speaking engagements. It is even harder
for them to promptly mail demo tapes and
press kits. They know if they are a good
speaker, we will recommend them to our
other valued clients.
We
Handle Emergencies
The
thought of a speaker's plane being
delayed, a traffic jam on the way to the
convention center or, even worse, a
speaker who cancels at the last minute,
haunts meeting planners. Flights do get
canceled (our speakers always have
back-up flights), roads do get iced and
a speaker could get sick. However,
this is when we really shine. All of our
resources, our knowledge and our
contacts can be put together to find a
replacement speaker ASAP.
Speakers
Respect Speakers Agency
How
often do you hire a speaker to come to
your organization on a monthly basis? An
annual basis? Very rarely. You may hire
a speaker once every few years, but we
may hire that same speaker many times a
year. How does this affect you? If you
hire a speaker directly, they will work
hard to please you. Hire the same
speaker through us, and they will work
doubly hard to please both of us.
Speakers know that if they are going to
earn repeat business from us, they must
perform well at every outing. It makes a
difference!
We
Do All the Dirty Work
You
can spend a great deal of time sifting
through brochures and other materials in
search of the perfect speaker. Then you
have to call your top candidates to see
who is available. Then once you select
the speaker, you have to call the ten
you didn't select and let them know why.
And so on. At Show Foundry, we first
listen to your needs and objectives. We
then provide you a proposal with bios,
photos, topics and fee information for
the best candidates that meet those
needs. You only have to look through one
packet to find just the right speaker.
And then once you make your choice, we
will check availability, take care of
pre-event details - EVERYTHING!
Accuracy
in Selection Allows You to Relax
You
may have sat through presentations where
a root canal would have been preferred.
There is nothing worse than the
realization that you have hired the most
dreadfully dull speaker on the circuit,
and that the next thirty minutes will
seem like the longest in your life. Some
boring speakers have spent thousands of
dollars on promotional materials to make
them look good. How can you know for
sure whom you are getting? We have
previewed our speakers and we know their
qualifications. If you schedule your
speakers through Show Foundry, you can
rest assured they will earn rave
reviews, and so will YOU.
