Source: Clarity Helena Escalante Jul 16, 2018Wendy was wonderful! I was looking for guidance on getting my business partner booked for speaking engagements and the call with her helped to really solidify a plan of action to get us started. She also sent a document afterward with excellent info and tips tailored to our unique situation. Thank you so much Wendy!
Source: Clarity Amber Shannon May 17, 2018Wendy does a great job. She researched me before the call and answered all my questions about booking speaking engagements. She even promised to follow up with notes and resources. Thank you for your time.
Source: Clarity Paul Klebanov Nov 9, 2017Wendy's advice is awesome and I've implemented a number of changes she recommended. I received a follow up email with detail notes from our coaching session and a few tips and references that I was not expecting. Will definitely work with Wendy again.
Source: Clarity Gerald Leonard PfMP PMP Oct 21, 2015Wendy knows about the speaking landscape and gave me opinionated advice on which direction I should take if I want to go down this past. Thanks Wendy, welcome to Clarity.
Source: Clarity Jevin Maltais P.Eng Jan 8, 2015Wendy works! She is a cheerful, get-it-done gal whom you can rely on to get your job done. Every speaker and every client who worked with Wendy came away better for the experience.
Source: LinkedIn Vicki Hitzges Nov 22, 2014I had the pleasure of working with Wendy on many speaking engagements through Speakers Platform. She was always extremely thorough, professional, and personable. Wendy consistently communicated with both the speaker and the client in a timely mannner which helped not only to close the sale, but also to serve the clients well in pre-event planning and event execution.
Source: LinkedIn Teresa Allen Nov 22, 2014Wendy and her team at Speakers Platform did a spectacular job of preparing me as a speaker for the audience she was working with. She made sure that the client's needs were woven into my presentation and made sure that all logistics on my end were handled. As a speaker -- and as someone who watched her look out for her client -- I'd recommend her unequivocally!!
Source: LinkedIn Don Yaeger Nov 22, 2014If you're looking for someone to help you find the best professional speaker for your convention or meeting, Wendy is your woman. She will take to time to learn your unique wants and needs and then will match you with the speaker who will exceed your expectations. Plus, she's a joy to work with.
Source: LinkedIn Nate Booth Nov 22, 2014Wendy is great to work with. Enthusiastic, helpful, and a terrific salesperson. She works diligently to find the perfect speaker for her clients. I recommend her without reservation.
Source: LinkedIn Orvel Ray Wilson, CSP Nov 22, 2014I agree with Ryan. As a former speaker agent, I found many speakers spoke too fast and their message was lost because you couldn't always process what they said. I call it the TLYT (talk like you are texting) phenomenon.
On the flip side, it works for certain speakers like Gary Vaynerchuk. I can't imagine him not speaking very fast. This is the exception though and not the norm. It works for Gary because he has passion in spades when he speaks.
