Doing business on the Internet is not the wave of the future - it is now! Every day, we sell products, explain our services, and send meeting planners packages, photos and availability of our speakers. For months, we worked to establish an exciting web site designed especially for meeting planners looking for speakers by name, price, or topic. The site is “bookaspeaker.net.” Advertising plans for “bookaspeaker.net” include major magazines and newspapers such as Success, Inc, Nations Business, and USA Today. Also, we will place ads in professional meeting planner magazines throughout the year.
Your page will be designed to create interest so that meeting planners will request information that could lead to bookings. The cost for your personal page is $175.00 and includes scanning and design. This is a one-time fee with no annual renewal! You can change the information on your page at any time with no additional charges. We receive 25% of any bookings we secure. We have full time booking agents who are on the phone with meeting planners 40 hours a week looking for bookings for our members.
There are other web sites that are similar, however, we feel that they are too costly (about $350.00 annually). In most cases, they simply link back to the speaker’s home page. Our speakers, when asked, said they were getting no results from the other sites.
We feel that if we had considered a web site name for years, we would never come up with a name better than “bookaspeaker.net.” It says to the meeting planners exactly what we do. Straight to the point - no guessing - simple and honest. We have found that’s what meeting planners want. Also, we have found that planners are irritated with the volume of telephone calls from bureaus and agencies “just checking” the status of their packages. More and more, planners are using the Internet to get color pictures, topics, and information saving them time and money.

The greatest benefit you will gain from attending the David Wright Speaker Workshop is that you will learn precisely what it takes to build a successful speaking business and exactly what you need to do to make it happen.
So, what makes the David Wright Workshop different from other speaker workshops? The answer is simple: Experience. The David Wright system of growing a business started developing in 1969 and has been evolving and changing for the better every year since. These principles, strategies and techniques of building a profitable business were developed from David’s personal experience as one of the most successful leaders in the real estate, advertising/promotion, and speaking/training industries in the past 40 years.
Another significant difference is that David Wright has been involved in every aspect of the speaking/training/consulting/coaching business for the past twenty years – from marketing and promoting to booking speakers. David teaches from real world experience – both good and bad. Most workshops and seminars on public speaking are general, academic, and are conducted like a college course. The David Wright Workshop is a complete, comprehensive program that trains and educates a speaker from A to Z so that they can build a strong business and make the kind of living they deserve and have always wanted.
Another important difference is the atmosphere in which the workshop operates. The David Wright Speaker Workshop is a learning place where each participant can feel safe and free to express themselves in order to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for growth. The workshop is more of a process than a seminar. This program is unlike any other in public speaking, and that's the reason David enjoys rave reviews and evaluations from satisfied participants. Many participants say they have never laughed, felt more at ease, and gained so much knowledge at the same time.
You do not have to be a professional speaker to attend the workshop. In fact, many of David’s workshop participants are not professional speakers when they first attend. Many are business people who have to make presentations from time to time. We also have a number of authors, athletes, teachers, physicians, lawyers, accountants, ministers, and networkers, as well as a host of other professionals.
It doesn't matter if you have been in the speaking industry for many years or if you are just starting out, all of the suggestions from the workshop will be tailored to meet your individual needs, personality, and unique speaking style. You will receive as much personal attention as possible. That's why the workshops are limited from 10 to a maximum of 12 people.
