Many experts who want more big-fee speeches start off with all the right tools: great topics, fabulous speaking style, and a book with a lot of buzz. Their book and publicity get people to take their call, but their conversations cause them to lose the speaking engagement. Any expert who wants big speaking fees has to be adept at handling three conversations in the sales process. You just know that you’re going to speak to this group.

In order for you to make your speaking engagement the best it can be, you're going to have to take charge of your room. Ideally, you have already asked for certain features when you booked the speaking engagement, but checking the venue also brings issues to the forefront that you couldn't anticipate. These are just two examples of why it's important to make the room your own and take charge of your gig.

Today I was reading Cam's post at ChaosScenario about dealing with bureaucracy, and I realized that I better mention this other critical aspect of setting up a speaking or coaching gig with an individual or organization. But for those of you who do things the other way around, putting in a lot of time, energy and expertise preparing for a speaking engagement or other project and then not getting paid for it is a real possible outcome of a scenario like this.

The transition from speaking for visibility to paid speaking is like jumping off a cliff: if you survive that first leap, the rest will seem easy. Go Where the Gigs Are. The first change you have to make is where you speak. The easiest way to get paid is not with associations; there are too many speakers in those venues willing to speak for free. The flow of your speaking must be very smooth and transitions seamless.
