These services, designed to help professional speakers reach their career goals, are determined based on specific and individual needs:

  • Development of targeted marketing strategies
  • Help determine and implement marketing strategies:
    • Speaker blogs and newsletters
    • Product development

    • Fine-tune presentations and create speech aids
  • Perform administrative processes:
    • Develop fee schedules
    • Negotiate contracts
    • Invoice
    • Coordinate travel and lodging

Let us help you develop and implement a successful business plan for your speaking career.

Meeting Planners

We love meeting planners! Between us, we have over 35 years of experience in the meetings industry, and have held a number of industry-related job titles: meeting planner, event coordinator, program developer, seminar manager, conference director, convention coordinator, director of education, and trade show director.

So, why is it important for you to know this about us? Because your confidence in us is paramount. Who better to help you than associates who truly appreciate the priorities and challenges you face?

Whether you develop programs for one of the country's thousands of trade associations or professional societies, or are a corporate event planner, you will appreciate a partnership with Cornerstone Speakers. We know the demands placed on you by supervisors, board members and volunteer leaders. We've coped with the short deadlines, limited budgets and huge expectations. Trust us to provide insights, support and assistance.

We pride ourselves on representing speakers who will provide high-quality programs at reasonable rates. We understand the appeal of occasionally spending more than the budget will allow on a big name, but hiring that "name" might still not fit your conference or niche. Before you hire, we'll work with you to make sure both speaker and audience are a perfect fit.

As the in-house 'speaker expert,' you may even occasionally be expected to help non-speakers to speak. Perhaps you have members or colleagues within your organization who are not "polished" speakers, but find themselves addressing groups at industry events or on behalf of your association/company. Talk to us. Cornerstone Speakers can provide services to improve anyone's stage presence. Whether your boss needs to brush up on her presentation skills, or the newly elected chair faces a series of speeches for the first time, or you need to ensure that a colleague is prepared to facilitate a panel discussion at your next conference, we can help.

For Bureaus

Cornerstone Speakers is a bureau-friendly company. No one appreciates more than we do that our colleagues in numerous progressive speakers bureaus are knowledgeable and effective professionals. As former bureau clients we know and appreciate the valuable services you provide.

Since we have first-hand knowledge of what it takes to produce programs that wow audiences and garner great reviews, trust us to provide speakers, who develop the programs promised, effectively interact with their audiences and deliver high content.
