Advice & FAQ's on Business Turnaround and Economic Speakers

Why book an external speaker or celebrity?

However good your MD or other senior management may be at speaking, a quality external speaker and expert in business turnaround or the economy will add value and gravitas to your event. Whether it be a conference, strategy away day or dinner that you require a business keynote, futurist or economic speaker for, a professional will make a big difference. Once you have experienced the benefits, you will never go back.

Why use a speaker bureau and why Speakers Corner?

As a reputable speaker bureau we do not have an affiliation or allegiance to any individual speaker, this faciliates a completely honest and unbiased recommendation policy. We offer completely objective and impartial advice on both the speakers ability and their personality fit.

Clearly knowledge and understanding of who's who in the world of economics and business is key to our game. With over 30 plus years worth of industry experience  we have a encyclopedic knowledge of who the great speakers are, both those that are known and those that are up and coming. 

I've never booked a speaker before. Where do I begin? 

We're the experts so pick up the phone and call us on +44 (0) 20 8365 3200 or email us at info@speakerscorner.co.uk and we’ll accompany you through what can be quite a daunting maze! We do not hard sell and are more than happy to just advise.

What will it cost me?

The price for advice is free. However the price for a professional speaker can range from hundreds to tens of thousands of pounds.  We have speakers available whatever the budget and it's our job to help you find the very best person for your event.

Most fees are negotiable and will depend on a number of factors. We believe it to be totally inappropriate to quote individuals' fees on this site.  However, we are more than happy to give you an indication of costs once we have a full brief.  We always negotiate the very best possible prices for our clients.   

No booking – no fee? 

We offer a completely free service – our commission is within the artiste’s fee.  So, no booking, no fee.   Feel free to talk to us about any event – we are renowned for creative and innovative ideas.

Celebrity or unknown?

Sometimes a business or economic speaker with a media profile is a must (e.g. a Dragon from Dragon's Den), but on other occasions an exceptional, relatively-unknown speaker will cost a good deal less and may achieve your goals equally well, if not better.

I can't see the person I want on the website? 

There are literally thousands of speakers that we work with.  However, we only feature a small selection of our favourites on this website, if the person you require is not here, please give us a call on +44 (0) 20 8365 3200 or email us at info@speakerscorner.co.uk

How do I proceed with a booking?

Please give us a call on +44 (0) 20 8365 3200 or email us at info@speakerscorner.co.uk Once we've both decided who would be best suited for your event, we will guide you through the process and assist you right the way through from decision making to the post event de-brief.
