FAQ's Will
I be able to communicate directly with the Frank Candy prior to my event? Of
course you will. Once we have finalized the decision, signed a contract, and completed
our pre-program questionnaire, we will pass the information along to the speaker
and set up a convenient time for a phone call or series of calls with your key
people. Can
I get a copy of the preprogram questionnaire? Sure, just contact us
by e-mail, fax or phone and we'll send you one. I've
never booked a speaker before. What if I don't know what kind of speaker I want?
This happens often and we do this all the time, just give us a call and be prepared
to answer the following questions: Date:
City, State Country: Location: (hotel/training center/your facility
or ours?) What kind of meeting: (convention, symposium/trade show/annual
event/party/banquet) How many training slots will you want to fill? (HINT
- often times the same speaker can deliver a keynote address and a seminar/workshop
for your group. You will save money on travel and expenses.) Number of people
in the group/audience: Demographics: (age/sex/career level/other) Preferred
topics: (sales/customer service/time management etc.) The specific goals
and objectives for the meeting: (be as specific as possible) Budget for speaker,
trainer, program and if it includes travel and expenses Does
it cost more for a longer presentation?
Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. You can often find fees broken out
by the type of program: Keynote speech, seminar, workshop, etc. plus for the length
of program. Once
I choose a speaker, what's next? How does the process work? We send
a contract, and our preprogram questionnaire. A deposit is normally made at the
time of signing. Once we receive the contract and deposit from you, we follow
up with: 1. An
initial planning interview 2. Background development 3. Detailed development

sure plans and time lines are finalized and the objectives and goals are met on
time. Will
Frank sign books and give autographs or be available for a VIP photo session?
In most cases Frank is happy to do that for the client. Note: In some cases such
as professional athletes, they reserve the right to autographs by limiting them.
Do
I have to arrange travel for the speaker? In virtually all cases Frank
Candy prefers to handle his own arrangements. We'll let you know and proceed with
what's best for everybody. Can
presentations be audio or video taped? In most cases it can be arranged
for you if done in advance. Based on the desired use and outcome of the tape,
sometimes there are copyrights, royalties, time limits and other issues that need
to be discussed and agreed upon in writing. Will
