Business to Business Speakers

Finding a public speaker isn’t hard, but finding a motivational speaker that inspires your employees and can initiate change within your organisation can be a challenge. In order to find the best speaker for your company, ask yourself these questions before making a booking:

Guide to finding the best speakers

• Do you want comedy or true inspiration? When people think of a keynote speaker, they often think of somebody cracking jokes and engaging with the audience through humorous stories. If you want this, you can call the local comedy club and get their best speaker, but if you are looking for someone who knows how to engage with business members and large corporations, call a business speaker. These speakers can be just as humorous an anecdotal as the next guy, but they also have the ability to initiate change within your corporate culture and get your staff functioning as a team.
• Decide what you want from the business speakers. For business speakers, each booking is usually different than to the next one. Some companies need to lift spirits, change corporate cultures, help change attitudes about a business merger or implement new policies and changes within the processes of the company. Write down the goals you need the business speaker to accomplish so that you can evaluate them afterwards.
• Telephonic interviews are key. What worked for Xerox or Virgin Atlantic Airlines may not necessarily work for you, so you can’t always take a referral and assume it’s the best public speaker for your business. Get numbers of a few business speakers in your area and give each of them a call to find out more about their speaking styles. During this call, you can also tell the speaker more about your objectives and goals.
• Be open to new ideas. Just because the motivational speaker hasn’t worked in your industry before, doesn’t mean he or she can’t do a great job. Make sure the keynote speaker is familiar with speaking to large groups at corporate functions.
