RYAN L. JONES & ASSOCIATES, INC.

PROFESSIONAL SPEAKER RATES & FEES

Motivational or keynote speakers vary in price range based on their experience and the length of the conference or event.  As a Certified Professional Speaker, I have spoken for thousands of audiences with a long list of very happy clients.

My fees generally are in three categories:

1.  Keynote:   (Banquets, Awards Programs, Baccalaureate or Graduation - up to 90 minutes)
2. 1/2 day:   (up to 3 hours)
3.  Full Day:  (up to 6 hours)

 What is my fee structure?

To be honest, my rates flex because what I offer flexes.  I create experiences for my client organizations, which also means that I love to include visuals and other resources so that they can implement what we talk about on the platform immediately.  I also think it is important to include a plan for following up on the message after the keynote, and I have many ideas about how to do just that.

Most of my clients ask me to do more than just deliver a canned presentation — which would be easier to price.  I also provide a menu of services, including the keynote, the follow-up, companion products and resources, companion sessions (such as breakout sessions and seminars), networking and kick off events.

What is your budget?

No, it is not a negotiation tactic.  Knowing your budget helps me to help you.  I generally like to send you a proposal with 2 to 7 choices on it… all within your budget.  But I need to know at least what “fee family” you are in.  (So let me know what you are working with and I will do my best to accommodate you).

In other words, I like to figure out desired outcomes first, and then quote a fee that helps reach that outcome.  (That is pretty hard to put on a menu).

I will entertain creative negotiations or give a discount for: 

• Making a contribution to my Foundation or one of my selected charities
• Clients who purchase a significant number of my books
• Clients who will provide a few extra days at a hotel for my family and I
• More than one program at the same meeting or multiple programs with the same client
• For clients who will “trade out” goods or services (or a portion of them)
• Who knows? It never hurts my feelings and sometimes we are able to come up with a creative idea that makes sense to us both that can save money for your budget.

SPEAKER REQUEST FORM

Note: Ryan’s calendar fills very fast.  Your request should be made at least 60 days prior to the event.  You can contact Mrs. Karen Newman Jones at karen@rljonesandassociates.net to find out if there are any immediate available dates.

All travel costs must be paid by the company/agency requesting Ryan. He travels from the Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. Travel costs are based on the current federal mileage rate, airline ticket cost for the roundtrip flight, airport parking, the federal per diem daily rate for lodging and meals/incidentals and transportation to and from the airport/conference site. Please note that travel must be coordinated so that Ryan arrives the day prior to the event and leaves the day after training is provided.

If needed, Ryan will provide his own computer, but the conference site must provide a projector, speakers, screen, and clip-on microphone (if in a large room).
