A Win-Win they will love your for

Yesterday, we talked about how important it is to protect your hard work and make sure you get paid for it.
​
Today, I want to talk about how this applies to working with people who help you get speaking jobs, like speaking bureaus and agents.
Sometimes, these people don't want you to give out your contact information at events because they want to make sure they get paid for future jobs with you. But don't worry, there's a solution that makes everyone happy!
Here is what you do.
Create a website that these people will like, but that also shows how great you are at speaking.
On the website, you can say that if someone wants to book you, they should contact the person who sent them to the website. This way, the speaking bureaus and agents will feel good about sending people to your website, and you'll still get more speaking jobs.
You can still have your own website with your contact information on it, but when you're working with a speaking bureau or agent, you should give them the special website address. This will make them happy and help you get more speaking gigs.
Another thing you can do is print business cards with your name, picture, and information about the bureau or agent you're working with.
Then, if someone wants your information at an event, you can give them a card. This will help them remember your name and make it easier for the bureau or agent to follow up with them.
Don't underestimate how important business cards still are! They're still used a lot in the, and they will help you get more speaking gigs.
Thanks for listening to another episode of Eric's Escapades. I hope you have a Amazing Day!
Best regards,

P.S. Why risk losing business with a speaking bureau by trying to secretly pass out your information.  Do this instead and they win and you win.
