• Get Listed With as Many Speakers Bureaus and Entertainment Booking Agencies as You Can

You need high quality photographs. You also need a well written biography that includes your accomplishments and accolades, and why you would be a great stand up comedian or guest speaker for various audiences. It is also good to have a high quality video of you performing some of your stand-up comedy routine or your keynote speech. Keep the videos brief and let the bureaus and agencies use them to sell you.

• Always Be Fair with the Talent Agencies and Speakers Bureaus that are Working Hard to Book YOU

They all work with and know each other, so to get more calls, you want to develop and maintain a reputation as a comedian or speaker that is fair, loyal, and agreeable. You can have a multitude of people working hard to help you get more bookings and make you more money – so don’t bite the many hands that feed you. Take care of your agents and they will take care of you! Remember TEAM means Together Everyone Achieves More!
