WHY BUREAUS JUST AREN’T INTO YOU: I receive about 5-10 cold emails each week from folks who want more bookings and think I run a speakers bureau (I understand the confusion!). I’m an independent speaker’s agent for a select handful of in-demand speakers who are also independent, but I do have decades of experience structuring deals with traditional speakers bureaus who hire my clients.  I try to give the speakers who reach out a little advice on what could boost their chances of success — but 1:1 messaging is very inefficient for getting the word out.

I decided an article was in order. I hope it is helpful.  Please don’t shoot the messenger. I don’t make the rules.
I just want you to know them.

Would love to know which of these factors hit home hardest?
