Rating: 5 / 5
A lot of valuable information for anyone starting to speak publicly – I had borrowed it from the library and decided it was too valuable a reference for me not to own my own copy.
Rating: 5 / 5
The book was well written and simple to understand. I’m beginning a career as a trainer, and this book gave me real insight to the world of a consultant, speaker, trainer. The author makes good disctinctions in the different areas. It’s simple to understand and practical. He gives great advice based on his experiences and others in the field. Information includes pricing, finding locations, contracts, marketing, doing corporation seminars and private ones and more. Note: the book is 260 pages long, but starting at page 169 is resources and example forms. If you’re looking to become a part-time or full-time speaker and want to get a feel for what to expect, this book gives you a very good idea of what to expect.
Rating: 4 / 5
This book will not lead you to a single speaking engagement. If you are serious about the speaking business contact the National Speakers Association.
