All about your event

You will speak with one of our Eagles Talent representatives who will gather the information about your event. In this phone call we will take down dates, location, availability and what you want your audience to get out of your event. We want to get to know your company or organization. Any details you have, we want to hear. 

As a bureau, we listen closely and really work to make a connection. We want to see what you see for your event, and make it happen. What is the theme for your event? Are there specific topics you want covered? What are the criteria for your event?

Sales agent prep

Before meeting with your sales agent, they will already know your main objectives so they can move the process along and begin to recommend our best entertainers or speakers.

In this step we make sure that we have all the details correct, get a little more information on your event and gather any last minute details from you. If you have any specific speakers in mind, we will jot them down and pass them along to your sales agent.

Meet your new sales agent

With your sales agent you will break down your event, discuss budget and really give a detailed explanation of who you are picturing for your event. This is where we ask you to be as detailed as possible. We know what these speakers can do, but you know what your audience needs. We will work together to find you a list of speakers that are sure to make your event a memorable one, no matter which one you choose.

This is a collaboration between us and your event. We want you to tell us what you want to see and experience. You know your audience, and our sales agents know who your audience may like. 

Tailoring to your event needs

One of our sales agents will discuss with you what speakers we have available that best fit your event’s needs. They will have available videos to review with you and give you any information you might need to answer your questions. 

Our sales agent will create a proposal with a web link to videos, testimonials, reviews, biographies and anything else that you might need to help make your decision. We are here to help, not just to hand you a speaker. Your event is important and we want you to have all the information you need to make the best choice. 

After you choose a speaker, we will verify everything and move onto the paperwork. We will stay in constant contact to make sure that everything is going as planned. Your sales agent will hold conference calls with you, our sales team and the speaker a few months before the event to make sure everyone is on the same page. 

 

We advise you to start your booking process at least 7 months out from your event. This ensures that we can make sure everything is perfect and ready to go on time.
