What’s In It For
You?
Benefits Of Being An ISN Member
Career Development
All new members will receive a Career Development workbook they can complete and return to
us. The workbook will ask questions about your background, topics, and fees,
how you currently market yourself, etc. It will also look at where you are and
where you want to go. It will ask about current plans you have to reach your goals. It is an opportunity to provide us with
in-depth information that will allow us to assist you better.
Bookings
As a member of ISN Works, you are eligible for any bookings we handle. We have
several booking agents who are on the phones with meeting planners 40 hours a week working to secure bookings for our speakers.
When we book you, we receive 25% of the booking fee and take no spin-offs. We
have a huge database of event & meeting planners that consists of Associations, Corporations, Healthcare Industries, Religious,
Businesses, Education K-12, Education Colleges & Universities, Insurance, Real Estate, Conventions, etc.
Marketing
200 Program
This is a program we have designed that provides a step-by-step procedure on
how to market yourself to 200 Meeting Planners in such a way that you will be able to double or even triple your business
in a year. It is a twelve month program that outlines the procedure on a monthly basis.
We even provide you with 200 meeting planners and their contact information to assist you in using the program. Most people will work it for a month or two and give up. You need to follow the entire
program for it to be successful. We will even work with your staff to guide them
on ways to work with meeting planners and help them with scripts to use. One of our clients is a trainer who teaches people
how to become trainers. He used the program for one entire year and called us at the end of the year to proudly announce he
had tripled his business, taking him into the six digit income bracket. THIS PROGRAM IS OFFERED AS A BENEFIT TO OUR MEMBERS.
YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO WORK THE PROGRAM IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO.
Marketing
Assistance
If there is one thing we hear over and over from our members, it is that they
do not like nor know how to market themselves. Most speakers rely on referrals and word of mouth. We feel like one of the most important benefits of being an ISN member is the fact that we are always available
to discuss marketing ideas and techniques with you. Once you become a member, you can call at any time to discuss any facet
of your career with David Wright our President. Our company has been helping speakers increase their fees and get more bookings
for over 15 years. If you never use any of our other services, it is worth the $525.00 membership fee just to be able to call
and get advice from David. Some marketing firms will charge $1500 an hour for a marketing consultation. We offer it free to
our members whenever they need it. We will offer additional marketing programs you can participate in from time to time. These
programs will be an extra way to get your name in front of meeting planners.
Materials & Back-of-the
Room Product
We can assist our members in any facet of their career. We have our
own graphic design department. We have copywriters who can make sure your wording is what will entice meeting planners to
book you. We offer discount pricing on any materials you may need such as one-sheets, postcards, press kits, brochures, etc.
We have a full service publishing company in house that can assist you through
every phase of publishing your book. If you need a book, but do not have time or inclination to write one, we have ghost writers
who can help you. We also produce anthologies where you can be interviewed for 30 minutes and it can be transcribed into a
chapter for the book.
Training
Workshops & Video Taping Opportunities
We hold four workshops a year where you can attend to receive additional training.
At our workshops, we give speakers an opportunity to film a video. Video can
be filmed as a 10 minute video for demo use at just $200.00 or a full 45-minute presentation for back-of-the-room product
for just $495.00. We use four cameras and edit on the fly so you walk away with a quality video to use for marketing purposes.
