What to say to get the pay

Fellow speaker,

When contacting Associations, World Champion Darren LaCroix suggests you personally (do this yourself, do not give it to someone else to do) call and ask:
  1. Who is in charge of selecting speakers?
  2. What is your process for deciding on speakers?
  3. How do you choose industry speakers?
  4. When can I follow up with you?
  5. Who is in charge of articles in your publication?
  6. What is the process for submitting articles?
Then follow up as requested and submit an article with your contact information.

Asking,

Tim Wilson
Professional Speech Coach
