Why Hire Kelley?

Have you ever hired a professional speaker who behaved like a Prima Donna?

Do you get frustrated with the unrealistic requests and outrageous demands made by some speakers?

Wouldn’t you like to hire someone who focuses their presentation on what YOU need instead of delivering a generic presentation or selling their products from the front of the room?

Dear Meeting Planner,

We know that you have an extremely challenging job and our goal is to make the process of hiring, and working with, a speaker easier and less stressful.

Kelley Robertson is a seasoned professional and he is easy to work with. Here is what you can count on when you arrange to have him speak at your next function:

• He will show up early. In most cases, Kelley will arrive at least one hour before he is scheduled to speak. This will give you one less thing to worry about and will reduce your stress. Plus, it will give Kelley the opportunity to discuss his presentation with the audio/visual team which will reduce the likelihood of technical problems.

• He will contact you when he arrives at the venue. That means you will not have to worry about whether or not he will show up for his presentation. If he is scheduled to arrive the night before, he will contact you when he checks into the hotel. If he happens to arrive after regular business hours, he will leave a message on your voice mail and he will give you his cell phone number in case you need to contact him before the presentation.

• He will end on time. Kelley knows that scheduling is one of the most challenging aspects of planning a meeting. Many speakers run over their allotted time, breaks take longer than scheduled, attendees arrive late. These are just a few of the scheduling challenges of a conference or meeting. However, unless you request otherwise, Kelley will always end at his scheduled time even if the overall program is running behind schedule.

• He will create a tailored sales training program. Kelley will develop and deliver a sales training program that meets your specific needs. This means creating content and using stories that are relevant to your business challenges and individual audience.

• He will not aggressively sell his products from the front of the room. Upon your approval, he will present items that are of interest to the audience at the end of his presentation but his speech, breakout session, or sales training workshop will not revolve around selling his products.

• He will not demand first-class travel. Kelley is a business man and knows the importance of fiscal responsibility. That means he will not request first-class air travel unless he is required to fly outside of North America. Plus, he will not demand deluxe hotel rooms or an exorbitant per-diem for meals. Whenever possible, he will try to arrange work with other clients in your city which will reduce your air and ground travel expenses.

• He will not nickel-and-dime you to death. Many meeting planners are surprised when they receive an invoice for extra charges like long-distance calls, photocopying, in-room movies, etc. All costs related to the presentation will be discussed and agreed upon up front. There will be no surprises when you receive your invoice.

• He will not read from PowerPoint slides. Kelley will incorporate the use of this software to reinforce specific points but it will not be the focal point of his presentation. He will also bring a back-up CD of his presentation materials. In the event of major technical problems (i.e. computer malfunctions) Kelley will continue with his presentation. PowerPoint is part of his program, but he does not rely on this software to deliver his presentation.

• He will not use profanity. Kelley’s language and humour will be appropriate to your group. He does not use profanity, make racist or sexist comments, or use inappropriate humour in his presentations.

• He will be accessible. Kelley will remain accessible to your meeting participants for up to one hour after the presentation and will answer any additional questions they may have.

• He will treat everyone with dignity and respect. People are the most important component of any business regardless of their position. And they deserve to be treated accordingly. From the receptionist to the CEO, Kelley will treat everyone in your organization (and at the meeting centre) with dignity and respect.

• He will make you look good! Kelley knows that planning a meeting is often a thankless job that is fraught with many challenges. Kelley’s goal is to help you look good in front of your peers, clients, and supervisors.

Doesn’t it make sense to hire someone who is easy to work with and who will help you get results? Call Kelley today. Get the results you deserve!
