Frequently Asked Questions

Can the VA negotiate speaking fees or honorariums?
Yes. Once you provide the VA with your budget parameters or acceptable ranges, they can handle the back-and-forth email negotiations regarding fees, travel stipends, and accommodation requirements. You only need to step in for final contract approval.
Are your VAs fluent in English for high-level VIP outreach?
Absolutely. VAs assigned to Speaker Booking undergo our most rigorous testing for native-level written English proficiency and professional etiquette. They represent your brand to thought leaders and VIPs, ensuring all communications are polished and respectful.
Will they chase speakers for missing presentation materials?
Yes, this is a core function. The VA will set up a tracking system (e.g., Airtable or Google Sheets) and relentlessly follow up with speakers leading up to the event to secure headshots, bios, and final slide decks in the correct format.
Why do I need a Project Manager if I am hiring a Booking VA?
An incorrect presentation file or a missed travel detail can ruin a keynote. Your free Sagedoer Project Manager acts as an internal Quality Assurance auditor—double-checking the asset folders, verifying that slide decks meet your aspect ratio requirements, and ensuring outreach emails maintain your professional tone.
