068. How To Negotiate Speaking Fees

Many of us as speakers love what we do - so much so we'd consider doing it for free! But since we also need a roof over our heads, food in our stomachs and clothes on our back it's important to know how to negotiate fees for your speaking gigs.

On episode 68 of The Speaker Lab, I'll give you insights based on the lessons I've learned in my speaking career. I'll also get into if you should negotiate and exactly how to do so.

With that in mind I've also included the nine circumstances when it's okay to lower or discount your fees in today's show. Listen in for all of that and more on episode 68 of The Speaker Lab.
