Hire A Healthcare Speaker - More Tips

If you’re a meeting planner looking to hire a professional health care speaker, here are some crucial “insider insights”. Simple facts you need to know…

Use the internet…
Meeting planners in the "know" shop for professional speakers online. Always start with the healthcare speakers video. Professional health care speakers will have a few minutes of online video footage which you can view right now. Bear in mind that the speaker can't cram all his/her topics into a brief video clip. The majority keynote speakers have a variety of speech titles you can choose from - think about the footage on the video as a good depiction of their speaking style.

If you're amused at what you see on a keynote speaker's video, don't instinctively put them in the "funny but no substance" group. Remember, important does not have to mean "boring". Just because your audience is laughing doesn't mean they're not learning! Many event planners equate serious with important. This is an additional, frequently made mistake. Don't mistake the power of the knowledge with the seriousness of the seminar.

How’s your health care speaker’s customer service?
If the answer is "Bad," choose a different healthcare speaker. Mull this over: If a speaker’s team aren't motivated to provide excellent customer service, what are the odds the speaker him or herself will inspire your health care staff to achieve professional excellence? My guess, the chances are poor.

Reduce Your budget…
In a matter of fact way, ask your prospective health care speaker to cover his or her own travel expenses, preventing any last second "hits" to your conference budget. (Courtesy of a speaker who runs up a big hotel bill; doesn’t happen regularly, but intelligent to take precautions.)

Here’s the big one…
Don't elect to forgo a professional healthcare speaker and ask someone in-house to give the opening keynote speech (no matter how "brilliant" the individual.) Expecting a “wet behind the ears” orator to grab the attention of (and invigorate) a big audience for sixty minutes or more is totally ridiculous. It's a guaranteed way to end up humiliated!
