In this episode, I sit down with Nick Gold | Managing Director of Speakers Corner and one of the most respected voices in the UK speaker bureau world.
Nick co-founded Speakers Corner 25 years ago and has placed thousands of speakers with clients, building it as one of the industry's few non-exclusive bureaus. In this conversation he pulls back the curtain on exactly what bureaus are really looking for, and it's not what most speakers think.
We cover:
Why "big stages = big fees" isn't the full story, and what actually drives your fee
The truth about showreels, why shorter beats longer, and why you need more than one
Fee integrity: why discounting yourself destroys your value in the market
How to use scarcity properly, even if you're not fully booked
What separates the speakers bureaus love working with from the ones they avoid
Why chasing trendy topics is a trap, and how AI is already changing how clients find speakers
If you're a professional speaker trying to work out how bureaus actually think, or how to get on their radar in the first place, this one's essential listening.
