The definition of a non-exclusive relationship The pros and cons of having a non-exclusive relationship First hand experience navigating the industry Tips and great assets that have proven successful with bureaus and customers.

Key Takeaways:

Each speaker has their own individual needs, and the decision to be a Non-Exclusive Speaker vs. an Exclusive Speaker is really based on those individual needs and how your business is structured. There is no right or wrong way. However one decides to conduct their business, it is important to try and cultivate a good, working relationship with a bureau as these partnerships are invaluable. Every speakers bureau and the agents that work within them all work a little different. IASB was, in part, founded to foster cooperation between bureaus.

"In this business, it’s referrals and relationships. You do a great job at one event, and hopefully, that produces more business." — Ryan Estis
