As one of the top ten speaker bureaus in the nation, our clients put their trust in Brooks International to pair them with speakers that truly meet their needs and educate, inspire, and consistently deliver exceptional presentations. Of the hundreds of public speakers that we work with, each have been carefully screened to ensure that their professionalism and content are among the best in the industry.
We do not create speaking careers. Brooks International will only partner with a presenter who
· is an experienced professional speaker and who receives at least two or more bookings per month
· is a master in their field with a polished presentation that can be customized for various audiences
· has a strong client base with recent references
· has a firm fee structure in place
The speaker needs to be 100% professional by…
· promptly returning phone calls and emails
· supplying quality, bureau-friendly materials
· being a pleasure for Brooks International and our clients to work with
· staying connected with the National Speakers Association (NSA)
If you feel you adequately meet all of these criteria, please send…
· a recent bureau-friendly demo video, preferably on DVD
· a brief bio and introduction of your expertise and background
· your most popular speaking topics
· a list of recent clients and the dates of speaking engagements
· your current fee schedule, stated in gross or commissionable terms, and travel requirements
Please note…
· Any packets that do not contain all of the items listed above will be immediately rejected.
· Materials will not be returned and become property of Brooks International.
· It can take up to 6 weeks for materials to be reviewed.
· Demo videos must show a portion of a presentation given to a live audience. Any staged presentations will be immediately rejected.
· Any materials or videos displaying speaker contact information will not be kept on file.
· Our files are primarily electronic and print materials will not be kept on hand.
· We will contact you for additional information and materials if there is an interest in establishing a relationship.
· Due to the overwhelming number of submissions we receive, we cannot accept phone calls regarding submissions, provide feedback, or go to the speaker's website to view or retrieve materials.
Once a public speaker begins working with Brooks International, it is critical that the boundaries between bureau and client be respected. The speaker should inquire of every new client how they heard about them, and if referred by a bureau, the speaker needs to involve that bureau. This is where loyalty and trust can make or break a business relationship.
When ready, you may send your materials to…
