Quick Start Guide

Quick Guide to Our Site

SpeakerServices.com has been connecting speakers and audiences for over 20 years. Here’s how it works:

We create a listing for you in our Speakers Directory based on the info you give us on our Speaker Intake Form. We want to make you shine, so our professional writers go back and forth with you until you feel the listing is right. Then we add video (if you have it) and all your contact and social media info, so event planners can contact you directly.

If you like, we’ll show you how to create a URL with your name + “speaker” that will go right to your listing on the site. That way, it’s like having a website devoted to your speaking.

We also include training. You get two one-on-one coaching sessions with the experts on our team (You can choose).

We don’t take any fees or percentages from your bookings, so there are no middlemen. We list you for 15 months on the site for $750. You can divide that into 3 payments of $250, and it averages out to $50/month. We take credit cards and PayPal, and if you go through PayPal, they can finance it for you. If you prefer one payment, we give you an additional 3 months in the Directory, so your listing will run for 18 months.

Some background: Susan Levin and I started Speaker Services together in 1994.  My background is as a journalist. You can see some of my celebrity interviews at ThebookMentor.com. When I coach speakers on how to get more gigs, I draw on my experience in getting past the Hollywood gatekeepers, because the same skills used by journalists on assignment can be used by speakers when they contact event planners. If you want to get even more gigs as a speaker, it’s good to know how to be proactive, and I like teaching that to new speakers.

Feel free to call me with any questions. We’re known for our excellent SEO (great search engine presence) and our personal, one-on-one training (included with your listing) that helps you get more gigs and improve your presentation skills. Look forward to talking soon!
