An Introduction to Speakers Inc :
Speakers Inc is a Professional Speakers Bureau, based in
Johannesburg, South Africa. Started eight years ago by Bronwyn Roberts,
our mission is to help our clients find the best, most suitable speaker
for their particular conference or event.
We represent South Africa’s most professional speakers and
entertainers, and many international speakers based elsewhere in the
Global Village.
We have high standards of ethics and integrity with a hard-won
reputation for honesty and good business practice, and thus choose to
work only with like-minded people, who also believe in and subscribe to
our “Four Pillars” –
Honesty, Integrity, Loyalty and Trust.
Why Use an Agency?
Much has changed on the Speaker Agent landscape of late… Google has
come along and changed our lives –
forever. It’s so easy to find whoever you’re looking for now, it’s a
joke. “So why bother with an agency?” we hear people ask, more and more
often.
Well, let’s think about it –
how many times has some very smooth, clean-cut, silver-tongued
“motivational speaker” sat opposite you and convinced you that he (or
she!) is the absolute best speaker ON EARTH for your next conference or
gala dinner, and no matter what your theme, he can tailor-make a talk
just for you –
even if it’s about Purple Mountain Goat Farming in Outer Mongolia! And
you’ve believed him, after all, he’s a very good communicator and his
brochure is fabulous … Why, it says there, right on the cover “The
World’s Number 1 Speaker!!!!” - Why wouldn’t you believe him (or her!)??
And yet - on the day - he wasn’t quite as good as you believed he
would be and his talk about Purple Mountain Goat Farming turned out to
be not quite what you thought it would be …
That’s where a good agency comes in.
At Speakers Inc., we don’t represent just anybody, there’s a whole
process we go through with the speaker before we’ll start marketing
them, not least of which is seeing them actually present a talk (you’d
be amazed by how many people market speakers they’ve never seen in
action!).
We firmly believe that Rule No 1 of Professional Speaking is that
you’ve got to be a Passionate Expert on Your Topic. Anybody who claims
they can speak about “anything!!” makes us more than slightly nervous.
In this way we know who will be the best speaker for YOUR event. This
– we strongly
believe – is
our value to you: our experience and intellectual capital. It’s our
reputation on the line and we will not put somebody forward who will put
that hard-earned reputation at risk, not to mention yours! |
