Preprogram Checklist
FIRST STEPS
- I have sent Bill an e-mail confirmation of our booking.
- I have returned the agreement along with a 50% deposit.
- I have completed the online Pre-Program Questionnaire (found in the Already Booked Bill? section on the Web site), or downloaded a copy, completed it, and e-mailed it back to Bill.
- I have downloaded any pictures, program information, and/or biographical information I need for my printed program and/or Web site.
- I have downloaded Bill’s A/V needs and Intro/Outro.
ONE MONTH OUT
- I have scheduled a conference call with Bill.
- I have received Bill’s travel details.
- I have made Bill’s hotel arrangements.
TWO WEEKS OUT
- I have forwarded Bill’s A/V needs to the venue.
AT THE EVENT
Here is what you can expect from Bill…
- He will notify you as soon as he arrives at the venue (and will keep you in the loop if there are any delays).
- He will be completely accessible to you while he is on-site.
- He will arrive in the program room for an A/V check at least an hour before presentation time (yes, even if that means 6am!).
- He will have extra copies of his introduction with him.
- Travel permitting, he will stay after his presentation to answer questions, sign books, or just chat.
AFTER THE EVENT
If Bill’s presentation was a home run, and you feel so inclined, you may do one or more of the following:
- I will write a testimonial letter for Bill on letterhead.
- I will e-mail Bill a two to three sentence testimonial that he may use for promotional purposes.
- I will refer Bill to others I know who may be looking for a speaker.
