A professional online representation of your speaking repoitoire is a must-have when it comes to getting paid speaking gigs.

If a meeting planner makes a mistake and hires the wrong speaker, they and 500 of their friends will know it at the exact same time.

Making a mistake and bringing in the wrong speaker is a public embarrassment, so they want to make sure that they are bringing in the right person. A professional-looking website can go a long way toward making that happen.
