How We Build Relationships with Our Speakers (And Why That Matters to Clients)

At Inspirational Speakers, we do things a little differently.

We are not a directory of names. We are a close-knit team who truly get to know the people we represent.
That is something our clients regularly tell us they notice and value. Because when you book a speaker through us, you are not just ticking a box. You are getting someone we trust, believe in and have built a genuine relationship with.

Here is why that approach matters, and how it benefits you as a client.

We do not just know what our speakers talk about – we know how they deliver it

You will often hear us say we have seen them speak or heard the impact they have made first hand. That is because we take the time to really get to know our speakers, not just their topics or bios, but their energy, delivery style and how they connect with different types of audiences.

So when you come to us with a brief, we are not guessing. We are drawing on real insight to suggest someone who we genuinely think is the right fit, not just someone available.

 

We are in regular contact, not just at the point of booking

We speak to our speakers all year round. We check in. We catch up. We celebrate their milestones, support them through challenges, and hear about new stories or angles they are exploring.

That means we are always up to date on what they are offering, what topics they are passionate about right now, and how they can tailor their talks to different clients.

For you, that means no surprises and a speaker who arrives well briefed, well prepared and aligned with your goals.

 

We value people, not just profiles

Some of our speakers have been with us for over two decades. Others are rising stars we have supported from the very beginning of their speaking careers. But all of them are people we respect, not just for what they have achieved, but for how they show up, how they work with clients, and the care they put into every talk.

We are not about quick wins or high turnover. We build lasting relationships with our speakers because we believe that long term connection leads to consistent quality for our clients.

 

Why it matters to you, the client

  • Better matches – Because we really understand our speakers, we make thoughtful, tailored recommendations based on your brief, budget and audience.

  • Less stress – You do not have to wade through a sea of names. We do the legwork and you get peace of mind.

  • Higher impact – When a speaker feels supported and understood, they perform at their best. And that shows on stage.

  • Genuine care – You will sense it in every email, every phone call and every bit of advice we give. We are in your corner.


It is about trust – on both sides

Speakers trust us to represent them with integrity. Clients trust us to recommend the right person. And we do not take either of those things lightly.

Whether you are planning a conference, a leadership away day or a community initiative, we are here to help; not just by matching you with a brilliant speaker, but by making the whole process feel easy, personal and well looked after.
