Speaker pricing is a tricky thing. I am a huge fan of having standard pricing and a package that is easy to talk about. As an SEO speaker and lead generation specialist I know that I can teach people to create millions of dollars in new leads, so in theory charging $300,000 for a two hour training session to 25 people would seem like a fair price.
No, I have not done any of those yet.
The reality of speaking fees is that many speakers are flexible but you cannot expect them to be always flexible. For example, they may be paying a commision to an agent or agency. They may be very busy and not do discount speeches. They may also be very selective about who they speak for.
For me, I try to do local free and low cost speeches if I am avalable and if the group is generally the kinds of people that stand a chance to buy from me.
I have even travelled across the country at cost to address the right groups. One I did last year has produced a huge number of clients and sales.
Why am I writing about this? Because if you are shopping for a marketing speaker and you are not sure who you can afford, you should just call and ask. But have a budget in mind, know what your audience will look like and if the speaker is not in the Baal park or just foes not seem interested, then move on and find another.
This is a quick note that I will be doing a Lead Generation presentation as the featured SEO speaker in Chicago in November. Keep your eyes peeled if you are interested in using a variety of web tactics to build your business and generate many more leads.
If you are out looking for a Search Engine Optimization Speaker, you will first want to consider what you want to achieve and what your audience members will benefit most from. An SEO Speaker that is going to be a small business speaker should not talk about broad industry trends and vague SEO Streategies.
Instead, if you have a lot of small business owners in your audience you will want to do a small business lead generation workshop or presentation that will show small business owners how to create lead generation engines via seo and social media.

You can save considerable money hiring a speaker if you hire a local speaker. For that reason, if you are looking for an SEO Speaker in Ohio, you should contact me and find out the pricing.
Of course, do not hire a local SEO speaker just because they are local. Hire them because they are a great fit for your local audience as well.
Ohio is not the only state I consider local. I will do an SEO speech or and SEO seminar at a discount (due to less time and travel) in Ohio, parts of Pennsylvania, Western New York state, Indiana and maybe even Toronto, Canada. I enjoy visiting Toronto. It is where I had my first legal drink.

Recently I overhauled my marketing speaker website to focus on better search and better lead generation. I am breaking up the blogging aspect into various categories that will interest people looking for particular topics for particular audiences.
I wanted to create information that would help event planners actually make the best choices possible for hiring a marketing speaker – even if that speaker is not me.
SEO – Search Engine Optimization – is such a broad topic that you will want to clearly define what kind of SEO Speaker you want to hire before you start contacting speakers.
I have worked with SEO as part of my business model for many years, and I know some excellent SEO Speakers and I know many people that would be willing to talk on SEO but they are not good enough to put in front of a crowd. The reason is that many SEO specialists just know the basics. I am talking meta tags and keyword density. That is it.
If you are hiring an SEO speaker for an event, ask yourself what you want as the outcome. Do you just want to keep it very basic? Then there are a lot of people that could do an OK job.
Do you want it to be highly technical? There is some really good techie stuff that I love, but might be way over the head of your audience.
I, however, talk about how to build lead generation engines. It is a combination of SEO and lead capture so that you can always show a stronger ROI on your outcome.
In my SEO presentations, I talk about domains, keyword research, building a lead generation engine that makes it all super easy and how to craft a compelling call to action. Simple, step by step instructions on building a powerful, valuable asset that will grow your business.
I am not all that techie though, so do not contact me for your super-geek mega tech conference. I prefer to work with people that want the lead generation outcome.
