Default public speakers

no not the ones you put outside and turn up the volume too loud to **** off your neighbors, but someone who can speak infront of groups of 100-200 people. anybody know of anyone who does it professionally? or have experience with someone who is capable of it and is good?
i have a crazy idea that just might work, but it requires the use of a public speaker, which i am not. pay at first is negotiable. i have already searched online, but i'm not paying someone $10-15k for an hour!!! just need someone who can do a sales presentation to a large croud.
also, anyone know of a rentable sales crew? or temp type sales crews. looking for more of a professional contract type company, not out of work temp sales people, lol.

This sounds so sketchy.

But, speaking in public is easy.

What exactly are you looking for?

I cant Claim a 6 year degree... but i have certificates from classes ive taken as well as manyyyyy sales presentations. What exactly are you looking for?...

It might be something id be willing to do for free...

On a side note i will have immediatly gain credibility seeing how i am a young individual. So an opening speaker will be required...

If your looking for somebody with an impressive resume from a University or a celeb.. thats not me.. But i have organized meetings for groups 10-100+.... with a Pitch on CDR's for Merrill Lynch...

Im not some spoiled kid like most of the forum is lead to believe. Let me know, this sounds interesting...

wholy smokes!!! looks like i might be the only one out of this group that doesn't want to or already does public speak, hahhaa. let me get more details figured out and will post again when i do, lol. hell, maybe get 2-3 people going at once in different areas of the country. it would be a sales presentation. but obviously, motivational aspects will help the sales.

I dropped out of school (1 year left)

Never got my high school diploma or GED

Never went to collage or any other place where you get smart.





Can I get in too?

I can sell a comb to a bald guy.

What kind of sales presentation are you looking to give? I give presentations to large crowds every week. Depending on the area and the crowd, I have given presentations to as little as 10 to the most was 1300. Let us know so more details

i figure i better shut up before i give the idea away, lol. it is actually a pretty simple plan. just getting it in front of a targeted audience and it should sell like hotcakes.

i need to get the rest of the details worked out, but really, it is a pretty simple structure and plan.

hell, you can be second in charge!! seriously though, my schooling isn't much more impressive than yours. everything i have learned has been after school years and targeted to certain trades. college for me would have been a waste of time! you don't need to know your periodic tables or the capital of all the states to make a few bucks. just know the one thing that makes you money!
