Three New Speakers People Are Talking About

 

Each month our team reviews 30-40 new speakers by checking references, talking to past clients, and looking at videos. This allows us to rate each speaker based on a specific criteria and to make sure that any speaker we put on our website or suggest to you meets our high standards. Speakers cannot buy their way onto our roster by signing an exclusive contract, they can only get listed with The Sweeney Agency the old fashioned way - they have to earn it. That means that our speaker recommendations have integrity and are based  solely on our belief that they are the right speaker for your event. That commitment to the integrity of our recommendations has been the foundation of our business now in its 10th year.

 

This month we reviewed 32 speakers and here are the top 3.
