Booking entertainment is such an individual experience. The ability for your company, organization, or event to know the above 5 tips to book a celebrity speaker or entertainment talent is crucial. To not have these specific points of information will do several things. First, the celebrity speakers management or agent will not take you seriously. Secondly, to get the best and most cost effective celebrity speaker, you clearly have to have a firm budget or negotiations will quickly grow old to an agent with a very popular client.

Having a good idea of your top 5 motivational keynote celebrity speakers is so important. It enables us to determine if your request matches your budget. Many times our clients have caviar tastes with peanut M&M budgets, so we need to counsel our clients on the realities of whether or not their request is actually achievable. Asking for Tom Cruise or Will Smith and having $10,000 is nothing but frustration and a waste of time. These celebrities get $15,000,000 a movie.Why in the world would they get out of bed for $10,000?

Having a specific date or a series of date options is so important. We are constantly bombarded with requests, with the caveat that the “date is open to the celebrity speaker’s schedule”. While flexibility is good, in this scenario, it will never get done. Agents and managers for celebrities tend to be set in their ways. They don’t want to go hunt down days from their very busy clients. They want to check dates, confirm budgets, and book their clients.
