How I Need a Speaker Works
Customer Testimonials
As a business executive and community volunteer, I attend and help plan a number of events. When I’m involved in recommending a speaker, I often turn to my network of colleagues. Until now, I didn’t know any other way to identify potential speakers. Now I have free access to a wide range of experts, and I’m excited to bring new voices to regional events.
When I made the decision to build my business as a speaker and trainer, I knew I needed to grow my network. INeedASpeaker.com makes it easy (and affordable!) to find opportunities and connect with potential clients.
As university faculty, I am encouraged to share research findings and boost my school’s profile by giving presentations on a regular basis. I’m also actively involved in planning conferences and lectures. Our list of presenters is often limited to people within our network, so I welcome the opportunity to connect with other speakers who can share a fresh perspective. Further, I am excited to think about who may be contacting me to share my expertise.
I Need a Speaker is so simple to use – as a facilitator and public speaker I’ve been looking for a fuss-free tool like this. Organizations can quickly see the range of topics I cover but they also will have the ability to see the specific professional experience I have to support and validate those topics. And if an organization is looking for an industry-specific speaker that too can be viewed in my uploaded resume. This will open a lot of doors for me!
