FAQ
Common questions planners ask most frequently along with the answers:
 

Q: How Much Do You Charge?
A: Let's get this out of the way now.  A LOT of speakers will ask you to contact them for a price and try to "sell" you their services before you hear how much.  I don't work that way.  In this day and age of "open source" I don't want to waste your time.  My price is mid-level for professional speakers.  I'm well beyond the $500 event, but I'm nowhere near my colleagues who only speak four times per year and charge $15-30K!  (I'm also not a President or celebrity who can get away with $100K per visit...ahhh to be famous!)  I've been told my prices are very reasonable and even had one booking say I was the "Cadillac of presenters at a Toyota price!"  I like that.  Anyway, enough context...here is what I charge:
  • Up To 3 Hours: $2500 (one keynote address, two presentations, slice it any way you'd like)
  • From 3 To 8 Hours: $4000 (Most consults, workshops, seminars, etc.)
  • Client pays all Travel & Expenses
  • Client pays any costs for materials
Q: How far in advance do I need to contact you?
A: Typically, my schedule fills up 2-3 months in advance.  For big events, it can be 6-12 months out.  So, I would recommend contacting me ASAP for your event.  I'll check my calendar and get back to you as fast as possible to tentatively setup a date.
Q: What if I want consulting AND a keynote address?
A: If it all fits into an 8 hour day, see pricing above.  If we're talking about a longer day or varied, multiple day schedule, we'll need to come up with something together.  Please contact me to set up an appointment!
