Walters International Speakers Bureau NEW SPEAKER REQUIREMENTS Walters International Speakers Bureau, in business for over 30 years, currently has the largest database of professional speakers in the world. We specialize in booking speakers to Corporate and Association Events. We have no speaker exclusives, thus Walters International is a bureau, and not an agent. We publish the International Directory of the Speakers Bureaus now available on CD. Presently there are approximately 420 Speakers Bureaus in 23 countries. Many Speakers Bureaus specialize as to type of speaker, type of client, or special topics. Our valuable directory is a gift to new subscribers to our Speaker-Bureau-Agent-Meeting Planner magazine, SHARING IDEAS. Here is what we need to consider booking you. First, we ask that you call our office and set up a new speaker phone appointment with Dottie Walters, CSP, our President. She interviews new speakers between 4 and 5 p.m. California time. If she is not in when you call, our office staff will set up a phone appointment for you. Please have the following information ready for the phone interview. 1. An excellently packaged 8 minute video demo tape of each of your topics - professionally done. 2. Your complete marketing package for each of your topics to match the demo. your package MUST include these standard items, a. Your complete fee schedule, with all of your "Accessories" which we can market along with your program. b. A list of the Speakers Bureaus who book you now. We consider this list of our colleagues in the business your highest recommendation. c. A list of recent clients you have presented for. We check all references. d. All of your materials, including your demo tapes, must be put together in "Bureau Friendly" fashion. In addition to the above materials, don't forget, we also want new speakers to phone us between 4 and 5 in the afternoon so we can talk to them, get acquainted, and see if there is a match as to topics, markets, fee levels, and professional ideals. We aim at long term business associates, so it is very important to have a personality and topic match as well as a match for markets and fee levels. If Dottie Walters feels that you are a good match for our clients, she will ask you to send us your complete Speakers Presentation Folder and Demo tapes. If you need more information on the items above, or one on one consulting to help you reach this level in your speaking career, we suggest you order our world famous book Speak & Grow Rich or book some one on one consulting time with Dottie. More information on our products, seminars and consulting can be found at http://speakandgrowrich.com. We also offer a free monthly eNews for speakers, authors and consultants that you can subscribe to at our speakers site.
