You mentioned an example earlier where you had a comedian booked at an event, talking to an audience and really just missing the mark, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Annette Naif<\/strong>: Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jennifer:<\/strong> Speakers bureaus, if they&#8217;re doing a good job, they prevent things like that from happening. They get to know the client. They get to know the client&#8217;s preferences. Who the audience is. What the topic is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, they also get to know the talent. They get to know, is this person really on-topic? Not only that, they prep the talent. With the speakers bureau, there&#8217;s really a lot of things to know. I think in general, having a speakers bureau is always a good idea because you&#8217;ve got <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allamericanspeakers.com\/blog\/what-we-learned-about-virtual-events-in-2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">experienced people<\/a> who are doing this day in and day out, whereas you&#8217;re putting on one event a year or maybe a couple of events a year depending on the size of your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think it&#8217;s important to have a partner like that who you can rely on and you can go to and make sure they understand what your needs are. You can lean on them. It&#8217;s just one less thing you have to worry about, and they handle it from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Annette:<\/strong> Right<em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=d7hI3pVdMoE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">video interview<\/a> on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCR6GgtEnzF8chyORXWda1fg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube channel<\/a>.
