January 2010
Greetings!
First and foremost a huge "thank you" to all
of customers who helped make 2009 another
successful year for the GAPSB ( Get Ahead Pro
Speakers Bureau) team. Secondly
we would like to wish all of customers,
vendors and friends all the best in 2010.
In this issue: Two recent event
success stories, how we do it, and GAPSB
"Heads to the Peak"
to make a difference .
Meeting Success!
We ended 2009 with several fantastic events
and holiday functions. Two events stood out,
The New Hampshire Economic Development
Conference and the Seacoast Career Schools
Holiday Event.
Tom Hayes, pictured , was the
keynote speaker at the NH Economic
Development Conference. He WOWED the crowd
and had everyone laughing and enjoying the
celebration and success of the days featured
entrepreneurs. Tom has a degree in economics
and is an entrepreneur himself. His program
motivated the audience as he explained his
journey and how he made his creation " The
Bean" come to life.
The second event that stood out was the
Seacoast Career Schools Holiday Event.
This
is a special school that really cares about
the success and future of their students.
The photo below shows Get Ahead Pro Speakers
Bureau's owner, Chris Reagan sharing a
little
magic with the 100 plus attendees at the event.

How we do it!
We signed fresh talent this past year that
will help us continue our focus on providing
our customers with exceptional keynote
speakers, entertainers and trainers. This
effort will insure that our customers get a
tremendous return on their investment. There
are thousands of speakers and "experts" that
speak in the market today. Many of them are
quite expensive and some do not provide the
value they should. We help our customers by
providing meeting and event solutions that
won't break the budget, that exceed
expectations and deliver exceptional
results!
Master of Ceremonies: Take your awards
event, annual meeting or dinner to a new
level with one of our talented entertainers.
A fresh voice can add the extra spice to what
can be a long night for many in attendance.
Sponsors can be highlighted, comic relief can
be inserted, and just plain old fashioned fun
can be brought back to your event. Contact
us now for more information on our talented
team.
Keynotes without all the C- notes: Yes
we can
and do work with all levels of speakers and
entertainers. Our speakers fees range from
$1,500 all the way to six figures if your
budget and audience justifies that kind of
investment. We pride ourselves in
representing top performers and providing
exceptional value to our customers without
killing their budget. One of the reasons our
customers are so loyal is that we tell it
like it is and always work to provide them
with a solid ROI.

"Keynar" money saving offer
Training programs: Looking to provide
memorable breakout sessions and training
programs? Look no further that the GAPSB
team. One of the ways we can provide
unbeatable value is our "Keynar"programs.
Our speakers have combined their keynote
programs with a supportive breakout session.
We package this combination to reduce travel
expenses, give you greater impact during and
after your event and the best part is it all
avaialable at a reduced fee compared to
separate purchases.
Comedians : Comic relief without the
headaches. Many of you know the challenges
of working with comedians. We take the stress
out of the equation. Our comedians know
corporate audiences and know how to provide
just the right amount of humor without
hurting anyone. They leave the "night club"
act at the night club and keep their programs
clean and respectable so you don't have to
worry.
Buyer alert : Beware of the low price
comedian or part timer. Low price often
means little or no experience and investing a
bit more can save your whole event from disaster.
New for 2010.
Online on demand training :
Is your training budget squeezed? Can your
organization afford $100 a month to train all
of your employees in just the area you need
them trained in? We have the system that can
keep your employees growing and improving.
This is the most cost effective way to bring
world class education and training to any
business and organization.
Please contact us about any of our fantastic
programs that will help make you and your
team "GET AHEAD!
