I just added this disscusion about whether or not speakers need a booking agent, your input is always appreciated.

Comment by Kimanzi Constable on May 11, 2012 at 6:11pm: Kent,

I was checking out your speak it forward site and I'm impressed. You make a very convincing case for someone to attend your conference.

Comment by Kimanzi Constable on May 11, 2012 at 5:17pm: Done!

Comment by Kent Julian on May 10, 2012 at 7:50pm: Kimanzi...I will answer if you will do one thing for me. Can you copy & paste this as a discussion item? That way, we can find it later.

Thanks!

Comment by Kimanzi Constable on May 10, 2012 at 4:30pm: Kent, I'm there!

I have a question for the group,

I sent a speaking proposal to a woman in charge of a conference in October, it would be my highest paying event yet. It seems like she liked the proposal and we've had some interaction on Twitter.

It's been two weeks so I sent her a email asking if she had any questions and explaining why I would be a good fit at her conference. She emailed back and set up a time to talk to me on Skype this Wednesday. I believe she's interested otherwise she would have just said no, right? I know it takes a lot to book an unknown speaker who at this point, hasn't spoken anywhere.

How should I approach the call? Any tips to win her over?

Comment by Kent Julian on May 10, 2012 at 3:47pm: October 25-27 :)

Comment by Frances Copeland Lucas on May 10, 2012 at 3:16pm: Where do I find the dates for Boot Camp in October?? :)

Comment by Kent Julian on May 10, 2012 at 11:37am: Okay...a week from today and we'll be "Boot Camping" in the ATL. Looking forward to seeing many of you!
