Well worth the investment.
Having been a professional speaker for nearly 20 years, I wholeheartedly recommend this book. Alan debunks popular myths about the profession, and tells it like it really is. A must read for anyone considering entering the speaking business, as well as for those who've been around.

And You Should Listen!
I was hooked from the introduction! I knew right away that Alan Weiss is a no-nonsense, let's get down to business, kind of guy. Everything from establishing your value to the client, to distinguishing between your client and your buyer - perhaps one of the biggest factors leading to my current level of success - to simply figuring out what type of speaker you already are. Alan has made sure that we - I'm a Corporate Entertainer / Speaker - rememebr that Professional Speaking is first and fore most, a business. This book can be valuable to anyone who is self employed or at least thinks that way. If it's not on your shelf it should be in your hands!

Great Nuts-and-Bolts Advice for New and Experienced Speakers
Alan Weiss doesn't pull any punches. "Money Talks" is loaded with solid, specific advice you won't find elsewhere. From platform skills to marketing to leveraging your knowledge to create passive income and make yourself a star, he covers what you need to know to make it as a professional speaker.The only thing lacking in this book is information about marketing yourself on the Internet. I'm hoping that if there is a second edition there will be a chapter included on the Internet. Even without it, this book belongs in the library of every speaker.
The best time to get this book is when you are just thinking about launching a speaking career, but it will benefit anyone who speaks professionally or hopes to one day.
