It's Really Pretty Simple
There's a reason Premiere Speakers Bureau has seen an 800% ― yes, 800% ― growth explosion in the past five years both domestically and internationally.
We don't take anything for granted. We work hard day in and day out for event planners just like you. And, we have a good time doing it. When we opened our doors in 1994 we were fortunate enough to figure out a few critical lessons early on. We figured out that your success is our success and that customer service isn't a business practice relegated to the past. We quickly found that by taking care of our clients, our other business goals would fall smoothly ― and frankly, effortlessly ― into place. We learned early on that the "big score" never outranks taking the time to build long-term relationships with really great people.
Amazing events, that's what we do. Give us a call or a click.
Five Reasons to Work with Premiere
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. Thankfully, we have had to deal with only five speaker cancellations in our 10-year history! 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 Bureaus
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 a bureau, 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 Premiere Speakers Bureau, 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 Premiere Speakers Bureau, you can rest assured they will earn rave reviews, and so will YOU.
