Bureaus need to see and hear you speaking. You will be making your own content and you should have your own spin about it. Last but not least you should have models where people have something they can take away.

One of the many mistakes people make when they approach speaking bureaus is that they approach a prospect without doing any research, and don't check how to apply as a speaker and whether to apply for a speaking event or not. They also don’t tailor their applications and make it relevant to who they are applying to. All these are just some of the many things Maria breaks down in terms of what speaker bureaus really want.
