At SBSB, we do more than provide you with access to wonderful and 
  talented speakers. 

  Here are seven industry points covered to guarantee success when booking 
  a speaker.  We have your best interest at heart. 

  1. Speaking Fees
  Keynote presentations range in length from 30 to 90 minutes depending on 
  the particular speaker. Fees for longer presentations are typically higher 
  than for keynotes. Many of the speakers have half-day and full-day fees. 
  Speaking fees change frequently. For an exact quote ask your program 
  consultant at SBSB by calling 805-682-7474 or send an email to: 
  info@sbsb.net

  2. Budgeting for a Speaker
  Keep in mind that in addition to the speaking fee, you need to account for 
  transportation, lodging and other services such as meals and incidental 
  expenses, books and learning products, audio-visual equipment, costs for 
  special handouts et cetera.

  3. Travel Expenses
  Speaking fees normally do not include travel. Airfare, lodging, meals and 
  ground transportation are usually in addition to the speaking fee. Some 
  speakers may require first class or business class travel for crosscountry 
  and international appearances. 

  4. Audio and Video Taping of Appearances
  Special written permission must be obtained for the rights to video, 
  audiotape, broadcast or transmit a speech. Occasionally there will be a 
  surcharge for obtaining these rights. The surcharge will depend on how the 
  tapes will be used.

  5. Autograph Sessions, Receptions, Golf Outing
  Many speakers will attend special receptions, play golf or sign books for no 
  additional charge while others may require a substantial additional fee. Since
  each speaker has his of her own requirements, it is critical to have all 
  requirements agreed to in writing at the time of the initial contract.

  6. Contracting
  It is important to clearly indicate what you would like the speaker to do prior 
  to signing a contract for services. When you contract for a speaker to 
  decliner a keynote speech the contract fee is for this service only, unless 
  additional services are agreed to in advance and in writing as an addendum 
  to the contract.

  7. Payment Terms
  A non-refundable deposit is collected at the time a speaker is booked for the
  event. This deposit guarantees the date. From this point forward, the 
  speaker will turn down all other offers that conflict with your program. In the 
  event of a cancellation by your organization, the deposit will be forfeited. If a 
  cancellation occurs within 90 days of the event date, the entire fee shall be 
  due.
