How To Persuade Anyone To Do Anything (Well, Almost!)

Getting your messages heard, believed, and acted on is a key business skill. Whether you’re in a leadership role, a salesperson, trying to get teams to work together, or to get buy-in for projects and resources, you need to be able to engage and persuade your colleagues and clients. In this session, Lee Warren lets you into secrets of how to do just that.

Making Networking Work

Almost everyone knows that ‘word of mouth’ is crucial to their sales and business development, and that having a strong network is key to personal and professional success. And yet almost no business has a ‘Networking Strategy’ for growth, and many people avoid the idea of actively networking. In this engaging session Lee Warren will give you all the skills you need to be a world-class networker and leave you excited and ready for your next networking opportunity.

Grown-Ups Don't Use PowerPoint

The world is full of bad presentations and sales pitches, and they’re costing your business a fortune. Poor presentations waste people’s time, can slow down sales cycles and projects, add to endless pointless meetings and create confusion and procrastination. Worse, the presenter is often dull and flat and takes ages to get their point across (if they ever do!). Lee Warren teaches your team how to turn that all around.

Have all the speakers on the website previously worked with PepTalk?

Not necessarily. While the speakers listed on our website may not have worked with PepTalk in the past, they are recognized professionals in the industry and known to engage in similar events and engagements. We work with a wide variety of speaker agents and talent agencies to ensure we have the best selection of speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers available.

Can I request a speaker to send a personal greeting?

We do not accommodate requests for birthday messages or any other personal, non-commercial contact with the speakers, comedians or entertainers.

How much do speakers and comedians cost?

We work with speakers across a variety of fee ranges, giving you the flexibility to choose someone who fits your event's needs. Virtual keynote fees in the UK and Europe typically start at £2,000, while in-person top-tier speakers can reach £25,000. In the US, virtual in-person fees range from $5,000 to over $100,000, depending on the speaker and format, such as after-dinner talks, conference keynotes, Q&As, or podcasts. Comedians generally start at £1,500 or $2,000 for a 20-minute set.

Our goal is to help you find the speaker who best matches your event’s goals and budget. We take the time to understand your event, objectives, and audience to recommend the right fit. The most expensive option isn’t always the best one, and our priority is finding the ideal speaker or expert for your needs; not the highest-priced one.

Reach out for personalised recommendations and detailed information on specific speaker fees. We’re here to offer a tailored service and are always happy to discuss your unique requirements!
