Description

STOP!!! DO YOU KNOW WHAT TO ASK YOUR SPEAKER? After working with clients such as General Motors, United Airlines, Corning, Inc, The Home-Depot, Bank of America, Foot Locker and many others over 15 years, motivational speaker & magician Cris Johnson has come up with 8 CRITICAL questions you MUST know the answers to before you hire ANY speaker. Keep reading to find out EXACTLY what you must know before hiring your entertainer or speaker...

1. IS YOUR SPEAKER BORING?

Let’s be frank. There are a lot of speakers to choose from, and not all will captivate an audience. A modern, 21st century audience wants and demands a faster pace…or else they will tune out! Since Cris Johnson understands this, he uses a variety of techniques to captivate your group including humor, interaction, magic, mind reading and most importantly, a dynamic style and fast pace.

2. DOES YOUR SPEAKER OFFER CONTENT OR JUST “FLUFF?”

Many speakers spend an hour talking about nothing more than a positive attitude, but for your investment to be truly beneficial, your speaker needs to provide your group with real-life “tools” that will enhance their lives! Cris understands people, how their minds work, and what is needed to engage their minds and inspire change. He also has the training and credentials - He is a Certified Hypnotist, Certified Master Practitioner of NLP and Certified Stress Consultant through the International Hypnosis Association, which means he has the proper training to guarantee your group an educational and enjoyable event.

3. IS YOUR SPEAKER CLEAN & APPROPRIATE?

Is your speaker going to do something inappropriate, use off-color language or give you any other reasons to regret your decision? You simply can NOT afford to risk it. Many comedians make a big show of all the comedy clubs they've worked. Think about what you see on Comedy Central and ask if THIS is the kind of humor you want for your event. Cris' programs are 100% clean. If anyone leaves the program unhappy or offended, you get it FREE, and in 15 years, no one has taken him up on it!

4. IS YOUR SPEAKER EASY TO WORK WITH OR A "PRIMA DONA?"

So many speakers want the 'Las Vegas Star Treatment.' They want special lighting, a bowl of green M&Ms...What garbage! You shouldn't have to worry about a performer's ego. Cris guarantees he'll be the easiest performer you EVER work with. He can adapt to any performing situation and he'll even pay the Gigmaster's 5% booking fee for you. It's one less thing for you to worry about...

5. DOES YOUR SPEAKER OFFER A VARIETY OF PROGRAM OPTIONS?

Many presenters only offer one act and nothing else. As you know, no one program can be all things to all people! Therefore, Cris offers a variety of programs to suit different needs, as well as customization.


-----------------------

Cris offers a variety of programs with content relevant to the workplace. He uses magic, mind reading, volunteer participation and humor to enhance his messages. His corporate topics include:

Cris also has topics for teens and college students. His programs help young adults deal with the challenges they face every day. His topics include:

IT’S YOUR CHOICE, IT’S YOUR LIFE – This topical program encourages teens and young adults to realize that it is their own decisions that determine the course of their lives. In other words, the decisions you make today creates your tomorrow! Cris also covers the keys of success that took him from being homeless to ultra-successful, both financially and personally, in a very short amount of time.

6. DOES YOUR SPEAKER HAVE “PROOF” IN THE FORM OF TESTIMONIALS?

While Cris’ motivational programs may be NEW to Gigmasters, he is NOT new to the speaking game! Here are some client testimonials…

“We wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your performance at our first Trainer Recognition Luncheon for the staff of the Ministry of Transportation. The event was a success and you were a part of it. Your professionalism, wit and humour made for an enjoyable hour. We were quite satisfied with the educational content such as the 7 Step Success formula and how we can apply it to our daily lives. The Double Your Memory topic was also fascinating. Who would have thought all those descriptive phrases would give you such a vivid image in your mind to help remember a stream of words? Outstanding! Of course, it goes without saying that we all loved the humour and magic that was happening right before our eyes. We were all amazed at how you did Jean's Dream Vacation! Cris, we would not hesitate to consider you again for our future functions. Thank you again for a wonderful performance.”

Michele Ross
Ministry of Transportation
St. Catharines, ON

“Thank you for entertaining the Rosina Sales Team at our National Sales Meeting last week. The group really enjoyed the business messages mixed in with the entertaining magic. Integrating our meeting themes with your presentation worked very well. We would recommend you to others for similar occasions. Thanks again for the time and effort you put into your presentation. It made out meeting more memorable for our Sales Team. We look forward to inviting you to future events.”

Russell A. Corigliano
President & CEO
Rosina Foods
Buffalo, NY

“Cris’ program was entertaining and at the same time sending an important message of the value of humour to the whole group. I didn’t see one face that wasn’t smiling. I’m sure they left with some great messages and great memories of our event. Thank you!”

Tom Ipilito
Branch Manager

“We had Cris for a presentation that was very motivating, very entertaining and very enthusiastic for our sales team. Thanks for the GREAT job! We really appreciate it.”

Jim Reed

“We had a blast! ‘Humor in the Workplace’ really does work. It brings people together, relieves stress, uplifts the place and makes it all worthwhile. We spend a lot of time at work. Follow what Cris is talking about – he speaks the truth! You’ll have some laughs and get some great work done. Great job!”

7. DOES YOUR SPEAKER OFFER A FULL INFORMATION PACKAGE, EVENT PLANNING TOOLS AND A TESTIMONIAL BOOK?

Let's be honest. Here at Gigmasters, you have access to a LOT of options. Speakers of all backgrounds can join. Your event is FAR too important to judge a potential presenter by a quick couple of paragraphs.

Before hiring anyone, ask the speaker to send you a full information package AND testimonial book. Most won't have such a package. Cross them off your list! Dedicated, experienced presenters will provide you with a complete information package about their services and include a bound book full of letters from other clients raving about their show, how clean they were, and how easy it was to work with them.

The rare performer will also provide you with an audio CD of clients talking about the performer so you can hear the words straight from the clients' mouths...and KNOW that the comments were not "made up."

SPECIAL TIP: Dedicated, experienced entertainers, those with a MINIMUM of 8-10 years' experience, will also supply you with event planning articles, check lists and even complete workbooks. The rare professional who offers these kinds of tools understands the details of what makes a special event like yours a smooth, trouble-free success. Taking your chances with anyone else is too risky.

8. DOES YOUR SPEAKER GUARANTEE HIS/HER PROGRAMS?

Does your entertainer fully guarantee his/her programs? If for ANY reason, you're not satisfied, Cris will tear up your check on the spot and you'll get his program FREE...and what's more, he's so SURE your group will LOVE his programs that he will give your company $250 if they don't!! (Not to worry, though, in 15 years, no one has ever taken him up on it.)

IMPORTANT MESSAGE: Before you read any further, consider: Are you stressed out about the planning of your event? Planning a special event can be an incredibly difficult and time-consuming ordeal...until now! Cris has taken his 15+ years of experience across the United States and Canada and packed it all into an incredible 40-page workbook titled, "The Ultimate Event Planning Workbook." You can get a copy (along with other event planning articles, checklists and additional tools) sent to you FREE simply by asking Cris.

2nd IMPORTANT MESSAGE: Make choosing speakers easier! Request a copy of his FREE Special Report, 'The 7 Biggest Mistakes Event Planners Make When Hiring Speakers...And How to Avoid Them!' This report will make your task a LOT easier!
