No Divas - Franchise Speakers

OUR ‘NO DIVAS’ POLICY

What does a ‘NO DIVAS’ POLICY actually mean?

Our clients often laugh out loud when we share our third speaker evaluation criteria, our ‘No Divas’ Policy. This is our way of saying that we only work with professional speakers who are genuinely kind humans and want to serve your audience and you with an open heart.

We are proud to share a frequent comment from our clients,
“You always send us the nicest speakers to work with!”

And equally important, what we hear from our valued Speaker Partners,
“You always send us to the nicest clients!”

Nothing we LOVE more than connecting smart, kind people with smart, kind people.

Here’s what our “NO DIVAS” POlICY means to us:

The speaker is a true professional who has grown and developed beyond their need to serve their own ego and instead are acutely focused on serving you, our client.
The speaker’s energy and attention is always focused on delivering the very best presentation possible with the singular purpose of helping you inspire, educate and motivate your franchisees and your teams.
The speaker is committed to doing their homework and carefully customizing their presentation to authentically connect with your audience in a meaningful way. They will want to know all about you and what you want the end result to be from their session. They demonstrate that they care.
The speaker is accommodating, easy and pleasant to work with - always. Even when things might get bumpy. After all, this is a live event and things sometimes happen.
The speaker is communicative and responsive. They will let you know when they have landed and when they are on site. No stress standing at the front door, wondering if your speaker is going to show up.
The speaker will arrive early and ready for Tech Check. They will work in partnership with your AV team to create the best possible experience for your audience. If they have any special needs, they will bring those items with them. And they will have redundant systems as backups to adjust as needed on site.
The speaker will not sell from the platform - ever. You are hiring them to deliver an experience and knowledge to your audience, that’s what they are there to do. Not sell their add on services. If you, as the client, choose to add a book signing or access to an online program that supports the session, we can recommend ways to make that happen without dimensioning the effectiveness of the speaker's session.
It means they spend more time finding out about you and your organization than they do talking about themselves.
It means they do not sell from the platform- ever. If they are effective and clean in their role to serve, additional opportunities will naturally follow.

After all, our job at Franchise Speakers is to find you the ….

…. RIGHT speaker to connect with your teams

…. With the RIGHT message

…. At the RIGHT investment level
