Product Description
Alan Weiss used to give speeches for free. Now his income from professional speaking and its spinoffs totals more than $1,000,000. In Money Talks, he shows you how to follow him up the steps to the very best - and best - paid-platforms! It's simpler than you think. Through stories, anecdotes, and pointers from his own experience, internationally-known speaker Alan Weiss shows you how you can succeed in today's booming market for public speakers. You'll learn how to choose a topic that people will pay to hear; find audiences that will pay you to speak; deal with a crowd that knows more than you do; turn your expertise as a trainer, workshop leader, or consultant into a professional speaking career (and why you don't necessarily need any special credentials); craft a winning speech; multiply your earnings through passive sales; keep your costs at rock bottom; overcome your natural fear of public speaking (or: Why dying is only the second greatest fear); develop and enjoy star status as a speaker! Packed with boxed tips, checklists, lists of resources, and plenty of helpful examples, this book is your entree into the lucrative world of professional speaking.

Format:Paperback
The author presents a hard-nosed, no-nonsense report of what you need to succeed in the speaking business. Compared to the touted "best-seller" in the field, this one's tops. No conspicuous self-promotion here. Pure advice, page after page. Author sometimes assumes too much of the reader, almost as if he's "talking shop" and you're expected to understand. Not enough to be distracting. Worth a second read.

Format:Paperback
Best book I've read on the business of professional speaking. Shoots holes in some of the traditional sacred cows (it's about time). Very thought provoking--for both beginning and established pro speakers. Weiss even covers that secret topic of actual specific dollar fees! As a professional speaker, I am pleased to heartily recommend this book to others.

Format:Paperback
Having been a professional speaker for nearly 20 years, I wholeheartedly recommend this book. Alan debunks popular myths about the profession, and tells it like it really is. A must read for anyone considering entering the speaking business, as well as for those who've been around.

Okay but try it where people aren't so easily impressed
Can't say I found much in here that wasn't fairly obvious.
Mr Weiss has no problem with self esteem, in fact he thinks he's great, which is nice for him. Read more
