What to expect
I am VERY easy to work with. When clients work with me, they will receive exceptional customer service. My company strives to be highly organized through every step of the planning process. Each client is set up in our meeting planners portal where they will have access to all documents, resources, and project management tools to assist them as they plan their event.
***Typically, I like to have a conversation with potential meeting planners to learn more about what you expect as outcomes and how we could get there. Without knowing your expectations, format, etc., there are too many variables to give you a more specific answer on my speaker fee quote from a general email inquiry. My average speaking fee range is $3,000- $5,500 for virtual and in-person presentations.
