Here are some of the memorable things people have said to me since I started my
business in 1992. And, yes, all of the quotes are true."Paying these royalties is a real hassle."> Comment: You can't judge a book publisher by the cover."I know that you're a much better speaker, and that your content is better, your
materials are better, and even your fee is lower, but I decided to use a seminar
company from out of state because my boss will approve it without asking any
questions."> Comment: That explains why sometimes you find yourself in a really terrible
seminar."I save all the invoices in a drawer and every four months or so I go through the
stack and approve them."> Comment: I bet she would go ballistic if her paycheck were ten minutes late."Okay, in your case we'll make an exception and pay you on time."> Comment: Here's another person who fails to understand how business works."Instead of hiring a speaker we decided to spend our money on an ice sculpture."> Comment: I suppose it's more important to watch ice melt than learn something."I want you to send me a proposal with complete descriptions of all of your
workshops, a resume, your client list for the past five years, a dozen testimonial
letters, and a fee schedule. I've got 21 proposals so far and I want to collect 25."> Comment: If I were this man's boss, I'd fire him for being a public nuisance. (And I
did not submit a proposal.)"If she had wanted to act on your proposal, she would have returned your calls.
Duh!"> Comment: Every vendor is also a customer, and in this case I responded to their
rudeness by transferring my phone service to another company. Cost to them: over
$1,200 per year."What do you charge to speak for 54 minutes?"> Comment: The same that I charge for 55 minutes. And 53 minutes."Now that we have your workbook, we'll use one of our staff to conduct the
workshop."> Comment: Let me know when you start so I can call my attorney."You asked too many questions. You're not supposed to figure out that this is
illegal."> Comment: We never ask too many questions. (And I only work with ethical
companies.)Steve Kaye helps leaders hold effective meetings. He is an IAF Certified
