174. How to Negotiate Perks For Speaking - a podcast by Grant Baldwin
from 2018-02-27T08:00
Should you ever speak for free or accept a lower fee? Today my co-host Melanie Deziel and I are answering both of those questions for you.
We specifically talk about why money isn't the only reason to speak, and what the other benefits and non-monetary perks are which you can negotiate as a speaker.
We'll also cover how to build your business beyond the stage, speak to build your credibility and your visibility, and give examples of when we've both been willing to speak for a reduced fee or even for free.
Join us for those topics and more. And when you're done let us know if you like this co-host format on episode 174 of The Speaker Lab!
