There are many advantages to working with an experienced talent agent. First and foremost, working with a good agent can save you a ton of time and legwork. Most experienced agents already have a cache of the best conference keynote speakers they know and work with. They are familiar with these speakers expertise and how relevant their topics would be to your audience.
An experienced talent agent would have done their homework well and viewed keynote speakers and business speakers’ videos and have a good idea of each speakers’ presentation style and how they address their topic(s). When you partner with an experienced agent they can negotiate on your behalf and simplify the booking process.
Furthermore, a good agent is one who:
