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.
