    Review:
    The authors run Gold Stars Speakers Bureau. They don't appear to hold anything back in telling how to get started, decide on fees, bill clients and improve chances for success... —  J.C. Martin, Arizona Daily Star

     

    Testimonials:

    Many speakers have wonderful platform skills, fantastic content and absolutely no marketing savvy. This book can help great speakers become well-known speakers! The Business of Successful Speaking should be required reading for anyone entering the speaking business! Your fantastic message and wonderful delivery really don't matter, if not one is listening. The Business of Successful Speaking will help ensure that you have an audience! — Marshall Goldsmith, Author: What Got You Here Won't Get You There.

     

     "This is the most comprehensive flight plan for the business of speaking I have ever seen…  A must read for speakers plotting their career." — Howard Putnam, Former CEO Southwest Airlines, professional speaker and author.

     

    "Everything I've learned the hard way over 30+ years of being in the business in one easy-to-use document." — Mike McKinley, Past President of the National Speakers Association.

     

    "I loved your book! I loved it because it combines a (love) story of two people that is written by them, with the spicy knowledge acquired through their lifetime together, in the context of American culture. What a unique combination! Congratulations!" — Maria Lemos, Sustainable Side of the Street, Lisboa, Portugal.

     

    As owners of Gold Stars Speakers Bureau for over 30 years, the authors have booked thousands of presentations for tens of millions of dollars. You'll learn the inside story of the speaking business. You'll discover what decision makers and meeting planners want from their speakers. You'll know the needs, desires, frustrations, and fears of their client.
