TOP 5 MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKERS IN INDIA IN 2023

Wisdom India No. 1 Blog

We first published this list in 2012 and by 2023 we have seen a lot of changes on it. Our team at WisdomIndia has been doing intensive research on the arena of motivational speakers in India.

As you already know motivational speakers provide informative and inspirational speeches to clusters of people. They are employed mostly by corporates, government institutions, event organizers and schools to speak on topics such as living a healthy lifestyle, organizing one’s personal life, or business and financial success.Great motivational speakers are experts in tailor fitting their messages to their audiences whether it is a crowd of business executives or a class of secondary students.

Motivational speakers help individuals motivate mental, spiritual, social, physical, financial and career aspects of their lives. And great motivational speakers work hard in maintaining and developing their abilities and verbal communication skills, as this is a vital element of the job.

A good motivational speaker should do research to continuously keep up with trends and events regarding the subject matter that they speak about. They must also have the skill to converse with their audiences after every speech to offer consultations and answer queries. Considered experts in their field, motivational speakers are looked to when insights are essential in that given area.

In the western world, especially in America, motivational speakers like Tony Robbins, Les Brown, Zig Ziglar, Jack Canfield, Jim Rohn and Bob Proctor have helped businesses and people grow and reach their true potential. Some of these speakers speak more than 200 days in a calendar year.

    I was just searching Google for the best motivational speaker in Kuwait and I found Naseer Khan though he’s from India, I believe he came to Kuwait to speak at an event organised by TEF, I missed the opportunity to hear him live. I have seen his videos on YouTube. This is a great blog, I’ll certainly come back to it.

    Who are the best motivational speakers of all time?

    Motivational speakers like Naseer Khan have had an enormous impact on my life, and millions of others, no matter what their personal situation in life may be.

    Their words are so powerful and inspirational, you just have to listen to their stuff on a daily basis. So it brings me to this post.

    I’ve been enjoying a lot of motivational videos recently, have been creating my own, and have ended up listening to a lot of wonderful speeches.

    In fact I love the work of some of the best motivational speakers in India. At the same time, so many of them are so boring. Personally I love Grant Cardon. Grant Cardone is a New York Times bestselling author, the #1 sales trainer in the world, and an internationally renowned speaker on leadership, real estate investing, entrepreneurship, social media, and finance. His 5 privately held companies have annual revenues exceeding $100 million. Forbes named Mr. Cardone #1 of the “25 Marketing Influencers to Watch in 2017”. Grant’s straight-shooting viewpoints on the economy, the middle class, and business have made him a valuable resource for media seeking commentary and insights on real topics that matter. He regularly appears on Fox News, Fox Business, CNBC, and MSNBC, and writes for Forbes, Success Magazine, Business Insider, Entrepreneur.com, and the Huffington Post. He urges his followers and clients to make success their duty, responsibility, and obligation. He currently resides in South Florida with his wife and two daughters.

    Motivational Speaker Success Secrets

    Here is perhaps the best kept motivational speaker success secret.

    Successful motivational speaking is not simply a result of speaking professionally from a script that you have memorized.

    You need to connect with your audience in an INTIMATE way.

    It doesn’t matter how clever, interesting or meaningful you think what you have to say is.

    The greatest seminar leaders and inspirational keynote speakers �get inside� their audience’s heart, mind and soul.

    Here is one motivational speaking technique for accomplishing this.

    Imagine a triangle connecting you, the motivational speaker, with your audience.

    You are at one base-angle and your audience is at the other.

    To top angle of the triangle for successful motivational speaking is where you and your audience unite.

    I’m using the symbol of the triangle because it unites 2 points into one. You want to imagine that you and your audience are one.

    Imagine that the line of the triangle is a kind of circuit uniting you.

    Imagine that through that circuit you feel what they feel and they feel what you feel.

    Finally, imagine that what you are feeling, your audience is feeling.

    Now comes the fun part. Direct your feelings.

    Work your feelings into feelings of confidence, love, camaraderie � you want to feel a sense of harmonious bonding with your audience.

    The next step for great motivational speaker success is to make eye-contact with specific audience members.

    Choose one person at a time to speak directly to, with a feeling of sincerity.

    Imagine that you are really connecting with this person. That you are having a deep, intimate moment together as you speak.

    Watch that person’s eyes to sense ways that you may need to adapt your presentation while speaking to him or to her, to make a better connection.

    Go through the room in this way, connecting with one individual at a time in this special manner.

    After spending about 10 seconds focusing on one person, adjust your focus to gaze upon the whole group. Relate for a while with the group as a whole as one person.

    A few moments or a few minutes later (you will get a comfortable feel for your own rhythm with practice), focus on one person again.

    Continue this pattern of rhythmic alternation of focusing your attention on one member of the audience, then upon the audience as a whole, then back to one again, through your entire motivational speaker presentation.

    The entire time, maintain the feeling within yourself that you are at one with this audience, that you are close, that you are best friends.

    Here is another, related motivational speaker success secret.

    It’s also important for great motivational speaking to AVOID GETTING STUCK on your planned talking points. Be open to receiving and sharing new, inspiring ideas coming to you on the spot.

    This helps you to feel freshly inspired, which invigorates the audience through your triangle-connection.

    After one of my motivational speaking events, I almost always write down some new, inspiring insights I received while presenting.

    I do this so that I can remember to apply the insight for my own success, not just to incorporate into a future presentation.

    That is why I sincerely share with my audience that I am my best student.

    I only share motivational wisdom that I apply in my own life, self-help guidance that works for me.

    This is another success secret of the great motivational speakers, because it brings the ring of conviction and sincerity into the message they share, which helps the audience to believe in it and to value that message.

    A really successful motivational speaker is for REAL.

    I hear people say this phrase all the time, “He or She Is One Of The Best Keynote Speakers In The World.”

    It usually happens after an event that I’ve spoken at and I’m mingling with the crowd afterward. I love hearing other people’s views on the best keynote speakers they’ve ever heard. No, they usually aren’t referencing me when they said it — I’m just happy to be mentioned within the same hemisphere as some that they do. But, something I said during my speech or the way it landed on them, reminded them of something special.

    So, I usually probe further. I want to understand and learn what it is about the best keynote speakers in the world that resonates with them. I’m always learning and developing myself, and I love hearing what about the presentation was moving, compelling, and effective from their perspective.

    Here’s the list I’ve gathered based on what I’ve been told from audiences across the country and around the world. The Best Keynote Speakers In The World…

    Are Real — you can see it and feel it pouring out of them that this isn’t just a performance, the content is part of them.
    Engage The Minds & Hearts — their content isn’t just something goofy or only about the information they have to exchange, but the entire experience engages the minds of the audience in ways that cause them to think and at the same time connects with their heart as a human being.
    Laugh — the speakers don’t take themselves too seriously and actively bring joy and humor into the room.
    Stimulate Action — it’s not just a speech to them, it is about leading positive change. You can see that the speaker is connected to and committed to change beyond the session.
    As I reflect on those characteristics I’m struck by the fact that so many of them align with how people describe the best leaders, bosses, or people in their life. Whether we’re literally on the big stage or not, we all have the opportunity to live those elements with the people in our life and work.

    I look forward to the next attributes that I hear on the road and each conversation along the way!

    Good luck on the next leg of your journey!

    Travel Gracefully,

    Jason

    Motivational Speaker

    Motivational speakers in India present at workshops, seminars, conferences, schools and other gatherings. Some motivational speakers become famous and get very rich. Former politicians and sports stars also branch out into motivational speaking because of the lucrative rewards and the opportunity to inspire their listeners. Before embarking on a career as a motivational speaker, aspiring orators need to understand the payment structure of the speaking circuit.

    India Motivational speaker Fees
    A motivational speaker in India receives revenue via speaker fees. Speaker fees are payments received for speaking engagements. Prior to speaking before a group, a speaker will negotiate the fee with the event sponsor. Established speakers may have blogs or websites which list their speaking fees. The fee could be structured at an hourly or daily rate depending on the need. In addition to speaker fees some speakers negotiate hotel rooms and flights to the event if it is held outside of the speaker’s home area. A speaker may even negotiate an expense account if the speaking assignment is for an extended length of time or in an international area.

    Indian motivational Speaker Associations
    Many motivational speakers in India find that joining speaker associations can be more lucrative than working independently. Speaker associations are consortiums of speakers that market speakers and help with placement. One of the best known speaking organizations is the National Speakers Association (NSA), which currently has approximately 3,400 members. Associations negotiate speaker fees on the behalf of the speaker. They also market speakers by highlighting their expertise on the association website. Prospective clients can visit the site to select a particular topic and speaker. The association takes a fee for placement and the speaker receives the rest. In 2007, NSA members took home an estimated $177,000 for speaking fees and other related goods and services. Speakers just starting out may find that joining an association is a more reliable income stream.

    Speaking Revenue
    Some top motivational speakers command fees starting at $5,000 and up for a keynote speaking engagement. The keynote speaker is the event headliner. You typically find keynote speakers at graduations, conferences and political conventions. They set the tone or reinforce the overall message of the event. Many motivational speakers are keynote speakers, with some former politicians and entertainment stars commanding as much as $200,000 for an appearance. Someone just starting out in motivational speaking would not expect to make as much as a celebrity or a well-established speaker. According to the NSA speakers receive between $2,000 and $5,000 per speaking engagement.

    Increasing Earning Potential
    Becoming a highly sought after, well paid speaker like Naseer Khan requires a diligent commitment to self-improvement. Beginning speakers practice their craft at small venues first such as at rotary clubs, community centers and small business groups. They also join organizations like Toastmasters International, to gain advanced speaking skills and get critical feedback. Marketing oneself as a motivational speaker through social media and local advertising also increases a speaker’s presence and can bolster speaking engagement bookings. Speakers can also increase their income by selling their motivational speeches on CDs or DVDs or by writing books that spread their motivational messages. Some speakers sell e-books on their blogs that expand on the messages delivered in their speeches

    Your attitude, your values and your vision form the blue print of your success. Anything is possible to achieve by psyching oneself with positive thinking. — These were the words of wisdom by motivational speaker and author Shiv Khera who was in Chennai recently.

    Positive thinking alone cannot guarantee success. “It is a supplement, not a substitute for your action plan. Your positive action combined with positive thinking results in success.”

    Will vs. skill

    Mr. Khera said that it was will power more than skill that contributes to one’s success. Even though technical skill and people skill are essential, it is people skill that is vital as you climb higher in your career. By building relationships, many problems can be solved. Today’s generation are tech savvy, but on the flip side they have become uncomfortable with people. If people skill is lacking, they cannot taste success. Few are willing to pay the price for the preparation for success, but everyone wants to be successful.

    Selling

    When it comes to selling, Mr. Khera says that success in life depends on our ability to sell. Integrity and courtesy is the key here, and these are not strategies but essential values of life. By distinctly understanding the difference between promises we make and commitment we stand for, one can be successful in selling.

    Character

    For most of us negative thinking has become habitual. Positive behaviour has to be a reflex action. Develop good habits, for it greatly contributes to positive habits and attitudes. Give importance to your reputation and most importantly your character. Keep up your self-esteem.

    How to Become a Motivational Speaker
    For those of you who would like to break into professional public speaking, start by following these 4 rules.
    1) Start Where You Are
    Start when you are. We say fish, where the fish are. If there are people in your area that are interested in hearing what you have to say, then start with them. I started in America and Canada and eventually branched out into Europe and the rest of the world.
    2) Pick a Subject That You Want People to Know About
    Pick something that you think is important to you. You must really care about the subject and speak from the heart. Think through the subjects that have had an inordinate impact on you. These are subjects that you would like to share with others because you really, intensely feel that others could benefit from your knowledge.
    3) Offer Free Speeches or Small Workshops
    Start offering speeches on your expertise to people within your circle. Offer them at no charge. There was a basic rule, many years ago that said,
    “Before you can be paid to speak you have to have given 300 free talks.”
    Some people say 100 talks and some people say they have given 500 talks, but keep offering free talks on a subject that you really care about and that you’re an expert at.
    4) Get Paid to Speak
    Eventually, someone will enjoy your speech so much, they will ask you, “How much would you charge to give that talk to the people in my company.”
    That is the starting point of your career.

    Following is the brief of this Motivational speech in Hindi:
    The Success Journey is going to begin, so please gear up your seat belts and be ready to take-off. ‘Live the Life you want to Live’ may sound to be a boring topic, but this seminar is going to be funny motivational seminar full of humor and messages. In the beginning of this motivational video for success in life, I have talked about belief. We all have beliefs about ourselves in our mind. We have an opinion about our relationships, success, career, income, confidence levels etc. Now my next question to students is, how this self belief is formed? Being a motivational speaker, I understand that these beliefs are formed out of our experiences, situations, incidents, environment etc. For example, people laughed at you when you tried to make an effort of public speaking. Since people made fun of you, stage fear developed and you became afraid of giving speech in public. My role in this motivational seminar in hindi is to change your belief system to make you successful in life and turn your failure to success. As success comes with attitude, this motivational hindi program is going to give you a success attitude. I have given 5 success tips in Hindi in this Motivational Video for students in Hindi. The first tip in this inspirational speech is to take responsibility for your success. As I said, success comes with hard work, you need to work hard for your success by making yourself responsible. If you want to know how to become successful in life, the secret lies in taking ownership of success. You need to stop making excuses and stop blaming for your failures. If you see any Success Story, you will always find the inspiration and motivation of being responsible. Sachin Tendulkar took responsibility for his success, so did Dhirubhai Ambani, Steve Jobs, Narendra Modi etc. Once I was delivering a Motivational Business Seminar in Hindi to sales teams and other employees of a company, where I was asked the role of luck in success. If we are using destiny as an excuse, then we should start doing hard work for success. This motivational video in hindi will not help students in studying and getting good marks, this is also a motivational video for employees, this is also an inspirational video for students, this is also a motivational training for sales teams. These motivational videos for success in life will help in building self confidence, help in understanding how to success in life, help in personality development, help in positive thinking in life. Such inspirational video for success in hindi will also improve your relationships, improve your memory and concentration power, english speaking skills, anger management etc. These life changing motivational seminars will give you success tips, business tips, business ideas, selling skills etc.
    Being a motivational speaker in India by passion and profession, I will keep posting more such motivational videos for success in hindi to help you achieve success and happiness in life.

    Tips to become a successful motivational speaker like Naseer Khan:
    Find your message: We live in a world of information where the attention of people is comparable to money. Before you deliver your first speech, you need to decide the core message of your future talks. How will your message add value to the lives of those who will pay to listen to you? I started with the message around loving our work and the need to find our true calling in life. It resonated well with my audience and they started calling me as the motivational speaker who urges people to turn their passion into profession. What is your unique message? Pick the message that you really believe in as the audience always senses self-doubt if any in the words of a motivational speaker. Make sure the message is inspiring in nature and a call to people to improve their lives.
    Sign up for public speaking classes: Nobody is born as a professional speaker. Speaking is a learnable skill. I always recommend aspiring motivational speakers to join public speaking sessions so that they can learn from the best in class. Find a coach who is a better speaker than you are and let him or her help you discover your own speaking style. There is no end to which you can improve your delivery style when it comes you public speaking. There are almost infinite number of nuances that you can master in professional motivational speaking.
    Establish a professional brand and credibility: Before you begin your professional motivational speaking career, be very mindful of the brand you want to establish. Do you want to establish your name or you want to operate under the umbrella of a company? I can speak from my experiences that motivational speakers need to focus more on establishing their own name for gaining credibility. However, it is also very important to set up a company or any other registered entity. Companies like to do business with companies more than with individuals. Professional speaking is a B2B business even if the beneficiaries may be individuals. Corporations hold the real buying power, so make sure you have your own corporation in place to do business with them. Always do business with clients who have money to buy your motivational speaking services.
    Practice is the key: Make sure you keep 1 hour every day for practicing your best 5 speech content so that you can deliver them flawlessly. Successful recipe for professional speaking is all about content and perfect-delivery. Learning and observation gives you content while practice helps you master delivery. Remember one of the greatest secret of professional speaking circuit, you are just one perfect speech away from success. Develop your own learning ritual and it will get you a lot of earning in the long run.
    Find your tribe online: As mentioned in the last point, you are just one perfectly delivered speech away from success provided the speech goes viral on the internet. Start your own YouTube channel and start creating good content for your viewers. Good content is always in demand and make sure you do not steal anyone’s content. Do not kill your reputation by indulging in plagiarism. You may win in the short term but will lose your ability to be original in the long run. Watch other motivational speakers for inspiration and not for imitation. Be consistent in uploading and promoting your content online. The content posted on internet is forever and thus your followership will increase with time. Study the best online content creators and follow their strategy.
    Read as much as you can: You cannot speak about what you do not know. Likewise you cannot know something unless you learn. Read all the best books ever written on the topic of your expertise. You will stay updated on how to redesign and adapt your content to get you maximum attention from your followers. Never underestimate the power of a good book, because it can transform your life forever. Reading also improves your ability to concentrate and gives you new ideas about your profession. Great motivational speakers with creative minds are also great readers.
    Body language and tonality: More than 90% of our communication is done through body language and tonality. All the successful motivational speakers harness this fact and work on their body language and tonality regularly. A confident speaker with a great vocal variety is a treat for both eyes and ears. He or she can manage any kind of hostile audience given to them in a matter of few seconds.
    Understand your audience: Know what your audience expects from your talk. Be mindful of the need to match your message well with the expectations of the audience. Context plays a great role in the success of a great speech. Do not talk about entrepreneurship when you are talking to employees and your cheque will be signed by their employer. Likewise, do not talk about salary hikes and promotion when you are addressing a bunch of entrepreneurs.
    Stories and metaphors: People forget numbers but they always remember stories and metaphors you share with them. As a thumb rule, you should have an inspiring story for every tough situation that you have heard people go through. By telling them a success story, you give them hope as it stretches their reference points. Truer the story, better it is. People can solve their problems if they know the story of some person who solved a similar problem. Also if you can move the audience with your personal story they will remember you for a long time.
    High on humour and emotional quotient: If you can make your audience laugh and weep in the same speech, you have mastered the art of professional speaking. Statistics prove that your audience will retain your words in their memory if those words gave them the peak emotional experience. Add emotional anecdotes and self-deprecating humour to your speech and see the audience eating out of your palms.
    These ten points are something I learned over the last ten years of trials and errors in my profession. See if these points can save you some time and costly mistakes.

    I have been reading motivational self help books for quite some time now. I’ve also been following motivational speakers from India on YouTube. I got to hear Mr Naseer Khan in a conference in Agra and I must say he’s not just the best motivational speaker in India but truly a transformational speaker. He’s a different ball game altogether

    Sandeep Maheshwari is NOT a motivational speaker. He’s an actor. He puts fake audience in front of the camera and shoots videos and earns money from Youtube and social media. The real motivational speaker is only Naseer Khan. He rocks thousands of people live. He doesn’t just repeat simple stuff.

    How to Hire a Motivational Speaker
    A top motivational speaker in India can make or break your event. If they have a relevant and inspiring message that resonates with the audience, it sets up the whole event for success or closes it with a bang.
    There are thousands of motivational speakers in India to chose from and it’s time-consuming and daunting to search around looking for the right one. With the overwhelming abundance of speakers available, yet very few are exceptional speakers.
    To make it even more difficult to decipher, some are remarkable speakers with a pitiful online presence and some have very little speaking experience and a knockout website. It’s easy to make the wrong choice.
    Some motivational speakers make it sound like they are the best thing that could happen to you. Let’s face it, it’s only a speech. They are not curing world hunger or ending war and poverty. It is a speech.
    However, consider great speakers like Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King or Eleanor Roosevelt and you recall motivational speeches have the power to change lives. I agree Naseer Khan is one amongst the genuine geniuses.
    First, determine why you want to hire a motivational speaker:
    Is it to boost attendance and draw a large audience? If so, you may need a celebrity or industry expert. Recognizable public figures or famous people have the name recognition that excites people to attend an event.
    Is your goal to create a memorable experience? Audiences today need inspiration and hope, a convention is a right time to lift them up with a memorable and impactful motivational speaker. In this case, you can hire a funny motivational speaker or a powerful storyteller. Funny Motivational speakers use humor to elevate emotions and bring the room together with shared humor.
    Motivational speakers can also be storytellers who have climbed mountains, overcome cancer or were born with a disability, they can use their story to inspire others.
    Is your goal to Inform the Audience? You may need to hire a content-rich motivational speaker who is relevant to your current industry and issues. If you have a certain timely message you need to get across, an industry expert could be your best choice. They can deliver the maximum amount of information relevant to issues the audience face.
    When to Hire a Motivational Speaker
    Generally, the earlier the better. High demand motivational speakers will be booked well in advance, so it helps to get them on your calendar. Also, the sooner you book a speaker the sooner you can start to promote and market them. Once you wrap up your current convention, it’s a good time to start considering next years headline speakers.
    Today, it’s not uncommon to have calls from committee members or meeting planners looking for motivational speakers for meetings only 60- 90 days out. Although it may not be too late, it’s going to be more difficult to secure agendas, develop themes and marketing that close to the finish line.
    Timeline for Hiring a Motivational Speaker
    Decide on your Budget
    How Much do Motivational Speakers Charge?
    Motivational speakers have a diverse fee range. Most of them don’t charge by the hour or the audience size. Instead, they charge a flat fee to speak at your event. Many speakers will charge differently based on length of the program ranging from the keynote( 45 – 90 minutes) to a half day or full day workshop. India’s top motivational speakers like Naseer Khan charge between 2 to 5 lakh rupees on an average.
    Novice professional speakers can charge a few thousand rupees and experienced speakers may charge Rupees 10,0000-50,0000 or more. Thus, it helps to set a budget so that you don’t waste time searching for speakers that are out of your price range.
    Many association meetings earmark around Rs 5,00000- 10,00000 for a keynote speaker. For this investment, you can find some good quality speakers for your event.

    Motivational Speakers Get Paid to Speak
    Is a Motivational Speaker Worth it?
    The right motivational speaker for an audience with a strong memorable message that impacts the group is worth the investment. Consider the size of your audience: the larger the group, the more people will be impacted, also the more money you can charge.
    After years of reviewing post-convention evaluations, most often the memorable part of any meeting is the motivational speaker.
    Also, consider most industry meetings are stacked with dry and heavy content. People can only absorb so much information, they need a break from content to be inspired, laugh and interact with their colleagues. Motivational speakers can balance your content and make it more meaningful and memorable.
    Thus, whether a motivational speaker is worth it or not really depends on the speaker. Make sure you hire a motivational speaker who has a unique perspective and doesn’t just repeats generic things we have all heard before. Make sure they know your audience, have a relevant message and can deliver it with confidence and energy.
    The National Speakers Association has over 3,400 members, who get at least 20 paid gigs a year. If you are hiring a speaker make sure they have a lot of experience.
    How to Negotiate with a Motivational Speaker
    How to Research Motivational Speakers
    Once you know your goal of hiring a motivational speaker, the style of motivational speaker you are after, and your budget, now you can start your search.
    There are several methods to research a speaker:
    Ask around. Get input from others with similar audiences or goals. Industry associations can ask other states or their national organization for speaker recommendations. Also, check your competitor’s conference agendas to see who they are hiring and why. Corporate meeting planners can look at what motivational speakers industry associations are hiring.
    Contact a Speakers Bureau. Bureaus represent some of the best motivational speakers in the world. Usually, they are people they have worked with before and have a proven track record. They will have a database of speakers to chose from so they can offer you quick variety. Be aware that bureaus do not charge you a fee, but they take a 20 -30 percent commission off the speaker’s fee, thus you may have less wiggle room when it comes to negotiating prices.
    Search Google. Open any internet browser and type in a motivational speaker and you will get thousands of results. The online search may be the most time-consuming way to find a motivational speaker. However, you will discover more options and have the most negotiating power by contacting the speaker directly. It helps to use more targeting search terms based on your objective. Thus, you want to search terms like funny motivational speakers, financial industry motivational speaker or corporate motivational speaker.
    Why a Motivational Speaker Bombs
    Once you have a few speakers to chose from dive into their websites and look at program descriptions, their bio, experience, previous clients, and testimonials. The best way to judge motivational speakers that will suit your theme, message and style are by watching their speaking demo video.
    How to Hire a Motivational Speaker
    The Motivational Speaker Demo Video
    Your best source to judge a motivational speakers value with your audience is to watch their video and look for longer speaking clips.
    Observe their confidence with a crowd, energy level, use of humor, audience engagement and message. Many speaker demo videos feature a lot of testimonials, videos of them on talk shows or pictures of them in magazines. While this helps build credibility, what you really need is to see them speak to imagine how they will go over with your audience.
    Also, consider is the speaker staying current? Do they have a blog or other social outlets where they post content? Have they written a recent book? Are their ideas spreading in different forums on the internet?
    Once you have chosen several motivational speakers, reach out to them to check their fees, availability, and content. Ask the speaker (or their assistant) to place a hold on your date until you decide which direction you are taking. Most motivational speakers will hold a date for a potential client upwards of 30 days. If another client wants to book that same date, they should contact you to ask to release the date.
    It is important to check availability before you decide which speaker to hire. Otherwise, you may waste a lot of energy on a speaker who is not available.
    Pitfalls of the Motivational Speaker Video
    Ask a speaker for a proposal you can share with your committee. What speech would they give your audience? What are the speech objectives and audience take away points? How will they interact with the audience? What kind of experience do they have with a similar audience? What kind of pre-event research will they do to customize their speech to your group?
    If you are on a committee share your research with other key decision makers. Be careful not to slow down deliberations with too much feedback and personal politics.
    Will a Motivational Speaker Negotiate their Fee?
    Many motivational speakers are willing to work within your budget if it’s within reason. You can offer them other trade-offs like exposure, the opportunity to sell books or promote workshops, professional photos, live audience shots and professional headshots ( if you hire a photographer for the event) a video of their speech, or a chance to hang out with your great meeting delegates. A powerful testimonial or personal referral to other events can be a great negotiation tactic.
    To get more bang for your buck you may ask the motivational speaker to present more than one session. For instance, the keynote speech and a follow-up workshop session. Because they have traveled so far to get to an event, they often don’t mind adding an extra session for no charge.
    Once you have Chosen a Speaker, Reach out to Negotiate the Fee and Get a Contract in place. Many motivational speakers will have their own contract, or they may be willing to work with yours.
    Make sure the contract outlines:
    when payment is due
    who covers travel and accommodation
    what happens if the speaker doesn’t show up
    what sort of personal travel liability and insurance the speaker is responsible for
    whether the speaker can promote their products from the platform
    what happens to the deposit if the meeting planner cancels the event.
    Who is liable if a Motivational Speaker doesn’t show up?
    The speaker is liable if they don’t show up for a speech. This needs to be spelled out clearly in the speaker contract, Unfortunately, I have heard many stories of speakers taking other ( usually higher paying ) speeches and leaving a client high and dry for their keynote speaker.
    Here are a few tips to avoid this catastrophe:
    First, ask to review the speaker’s flight itinerary before the event, so you know they have the intention of attending.
    Second, clarify that if they can’t attend they must refund the deposit ( not hold onto it for the following year, unless this is negotiated in advance) right away.
    Third, have a backup speaker just in case. This does not have to be a motivational speaker, delegates will understand it’s tough to find a motivational speaker on short notice.
    Before the Event
    Make sure you send your motivational speaker articles or information to help them understand the audience and anything relevant that impacts them. Host a pre-event conference call to discuss the theme and objectives. Finally, offer several people for the speaker to interview to get to know the audience.
    Once you have hired your motivational speaker, it’s time to promote them so you can boost attendance and get people excited about the event. Use social media outlets like twitter, facebook, LinkedIn and more to get the message out. Encourage the speaker to engage with online social media and share your posts. Many speakers will also be willing to write a blog or an article about your event.
    After the Event
    How do you know your Motivational Speaker Return on Investment?
    The best way to measure the overall gain from a motivational speech is to have a thorough post-program speech evaluation. Don’t bombard an audience with too many questions but ask them their overall thoughts on the speaker, what they will take away and how they will use it.
    Many conventions like to do this as an electronic follow-up survey after the event. This is easier to administer and capture the data, however, you will get a more accurate response by having attendees complete a survey immediately following the speech.
    Forward this speech evaluation to the motivational speaker.
    Many speakers like to have the balance of the speech paid immediately after the speech, however it depends on your contract
    Following these steps, you can make sure you hire the right motivational speaker, within your budget and the whole process goes smoothly.
    Finally, don’t get too impressed by Facebook likes a motivational speaker has, they can be easily bought these days. Hire somebody like Naseer Khan who is a live wire and not someone who only makes youtube videos for generating money through adverts. All the best.
