Keynote Topics
Conquer Your Messaging
Are you making the most common mistake entrepreneurs make when trying to grow their business?
The mistake that results in wasted time, lost opportunity and endless frustration?
Erin Marcus watches the same small business destroyer play out all too often:
entrepreneurs using generic labels to describe themselves and then going on and on about irrelevant details that mean nothing to their potential clients.
And the sad part is that most people don’t even realize they’re making these mistakes! All they know is they don’t have the results they want – and they’re not sure why.
Here’s the thing. Nobody buys your process; they buy your solution to their problem. And if you are relying on a brand you may represent instead of your own personal story to connect to clients or just assuming everyone knows what you do by the label you attach to yourself…well all these things just end up with you missing the mark.
And making things harder for yourself.

Conquer Your Sales
There’s only ONE THING standing in between you serving and helping your clients or …….. not having any clients.
That SAME ONE THING is standing in between you reaching your financial goals or …… not making any money.
It’s basically the ONE THING that is the difference between you having a successful thriving business or….. no business at all.
What am I talking about? The ability to have a:
- Comfortable
- Confident
- High-quality
- Sales Conversation!
Welcome to Conquer Your Sales!
Sales conversations can be uncomfortable for lots of entrepreneurs. I get it. It feels like so much is at stake right there in one moment.
You’re not just putting yourself out there hoping someone says yes, but whether you know it or not, you’re also up against generations of beliefs about money.
Not to mention all those horrible sales people stereotypes that so many of us find absolutely offensive.
What if instead you learned a completely different approach to sales?

Talent FAQ's
Do speakers charge a flat fee or by the hour?
Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.
What is the typical duration of a keynote speech and what is included?
Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.
Does the scale of the event and audience size affect a speaker’s fee?
The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.
Travel expenses and other costs
Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.
Deposits and securing a booking
Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.
Additional tips and takeaways
- Virtual speaking appearances are a cost-effective alternative to high speaking fees, often 10-50% cheaper than in-person rates.
- There is typically no difference in fee for a 15-minute speech versus a 60-minute speech.
- Some motivational speakers are open to discounting their fee if hired for more than one event by the same organization.
- When browsing speakers, consider their location to keep travel costs down.
- Personal connections to your organization or event location can increase your chances of securing a renowned speaker.
- Be upfront about your needs and expectations to ensure a successful partnership.
- Speaker bureaus like Speakers Inc help guide you through the booking process to negotiate the best deal with favorable terms.
