About Speakers 101 - the portal promoting motivational speakers, keynote speakers, trainers and conference speakers suppliers
Speakers 101 is a Portal Promoting - Speakers, Trainers and Speaker Suppliers and the people involved in the Professional Speaking Industry.
Speakers 101 is NOT a Speakers Bureau or Agency in the traditional sense of the word.
So what makes us different ?- We Do Not Charge Commissions to either the Speakers or the Event Planners who find each other on this site and then contract business together.
We do, however, offer a Request a Speaker service when event planners are not able to find a speaker directly off the site and we then source a speaker for them. In such cases we do negotiate an appropriate Finder’s Fee with the Speaker (Not the Event Planner).
Our Primary aim is to provide speakers with a portal where they can register and display their information, and in so doing be found by those wishing to make use of the services and products they have to offer.
We pride ourselves with the fact that we have one of the best Search Engine Optimised Sites and therefore make it easy for Event Planners to find our site and the speakers listing their services on this site. We have a proven track record in this regard with other professional speaking sites we have developed appearing in the top 5 in the major search engines.
We also provide our clients – the Speakers, Trainers, Suppliers and Event Planners – with Value Added Services that we believe will create a One-Stop-Shop for Speakers, Speaker and Event Planner Resources and ongoing training and development for those wishing to up their game.
So why are we doing this? Simply because we know how difficult it is to become known in this industry and we want to present a simple solution to a rather inhospitable and unwieldy marketplace for speakers and trainers to come in contact with their prospective clients AND make it easy for event planners to find suitable speakers.
We hope that you will enjoy the experience and we look forward to your suggestions on how we can improve this service to you all.
