Who exactly receives this money?
Keynote Speakers :
These are the race horses of the business! Paid to overcome challenges, motivate, inspire, help others achieve their dreams, & create personal & business success. Many of our MVP presenters are available for Keynote Speeches. The Keynote skill set requires enormous practice, excellent humor & presentations skills.. Since most topics are motivational in nature, academic backgrounds are important, but not nearly as essential as Training & Coaching. This venue is generally for luncheon meetings, corporate retreats, dinners, conventions & conferences.
MVP Member fee range: $1,500- 8,000 for a one hour presentation
Expenses are extra & billed to client.

Business Training:
(Generally conducted On-Site or client's location of choice)
This is our bread & butter. Requires specific academic qualifications, humor, patience, & a sincere love of teaching. Speakers must thoroughly understand their topic area & have excellent presentation skills.
Enhanced sense of humor & high energy, certainly are a big plus. Our instructors are invited back over 60 % of time.
MVP Training fee range: Based on topic, qualifications & experience
$2,500-7,000 for a full day of training (8:30-4-00, two breaks, & lunch)
Half-Day Presentations range $1,500-4,000 (9:00-12:00)
Fees are much higher, for multiple topics presented during either half or full day training sessions.
Course binders are generally included & travel expenses are billed directly to client.

Break-Out Sessions:
These generally are 1 hr. presentations following Keynote Speakers during a convention or corporate retreat.. Many large conventions will hire over 75 separate break-out session speakers for these workshops, with various topics. Basically the same qualifications as Business Training, but only 1 hr. in length, sometimes given 2-3 times, during the course of half-day format.
MVP Fee Range: $1200 -2,500 per half day, plus all expenses.

Public Seminars:
We market & promote Pubic Seminars, but do not encourage novice speakers/trainers to incorporate this model, until they have adequate experience & business knowledge. These are generally one day training sessions booked at a hotel or convention center, & are attended by anyone willing to pay the fee. Can be very risky, with a lot of up front costs, but also can be very profitable. Topics include most business & personal development areas.
MVP Fees are billed per day: $195.00 per attendee, 3 participants from same company attend, the 4th goes free. Presenter is responsible for own expenses.

Coaching & Consulting:
Either business or personal development topics. Many speakers/trainers are contacted for consulting or individual coaching following their training sessions. This is about specifically applying knowledge to solve or correct real world issues.
| MVP Coaching Fees: |
Coach sets own hourly fees. Average is about $185.00
Consultant sets daily fees, average is about $2500 per day, plus expenses |
How Much Can I Make?
According to the National Speakers Assoc., nearly four, in ten members have annual incomes topping $140,000, with 20% in excess $250,000. This takes time, dedication , excellent marketing, but is achievable.
The Grass is not Always Greener. . . .Our MVP staff encourages new speakers/trainers to keep their day jobs, develop & improve their new craft & secondary careers very slowly. This is not a get rich quick business !!! After 3-4 years the results are very encouraging.
