Award-winning customer service - Sprint recently recognized ISB as Small Business of the Year, awarding us First Place in their "Search for Small Business Success" out of a pool of over 1000 companies nationwide. ISB has also received the Bank One Entrepreneurial Excellence Award. The ISB culture and our commitment to our employees translates into a value added benefit for our clients.
Our online professional speaker catalog - ISB's website or online catalog features profiles of over 1000 business, motivational and inspirational speakers, celebrities, sports personalities and corporate entertainers. Additionally, we offer streaming video of hundreds of public speakers. View speakers' videos from your desk, at your convenience. In addition to this feature, we have an ENORMOUS database filled with thousands of great speakers and corporate entertainers that work with any theme or budget!
We maximize your Return On Investment - ISB will not only work with your budget but will also negotiate with the speaker's prices to get you the best possible deal.
Professional Speaker Certification - At ISB we realized a major problem in the industry was speaker knowledge. We developed a certification process. When we send out the materials of a public speaker to you, we have been certified on that speaker's content. That means, we have read their books, watched their numerous presentations, spoken with the speaker and thus gained an understanding of the best positioning for that speaker -- ensuring a home run for all of us.
The costs of letting us work for you: Nothing - Since public speakers compensate us from their set fee, our services to you are free.
We represent all speakers and corporate entertainment - ISB features an extensive database of over 15,000 speakers and we know the ins and outs of every speaker we represent. If you want someone we don't have in our database, our research team has resources to find the perfect public speaker for your event.
Partners in Excellence - At ISB we have created an incentive for clients to partner with ISB when you are looking for public speakers and entertainment. We developed 20 different value added services from financial rewards to recognition awards.
Uniquely Integrated Resources - ISB has forged a number of strategic partnerships and gone so far as to unite them under one roof. These relationships provide in-house services to ISB, and include a literary agent, a video production company, a graphics design firm, a professional photographer and a comprehensive marketing firm.
We work with you - At ISB we assist you in choosing speakers by reducing the speaker selection time, ensuring the quality of the public speaker chosen, and helping you with the logistics. In essence, we do the work for you.
I have absolutely no words to describe the impact that Ben Zander, Amanda Gore and Mark Burnett had on my team. But if singing at the top of their lungs (Ben); walking out of the ballroom singing and whistling (Amanda) and a collective gasp that almost drained all of the oxygen out of the room when I introduced him (Mark) are any indication, then hopefully you can imagine the overall feeling.
The CEO of our company, Fotios Kalatzis, was so pleased with everything that he spent 15 minutes of his 25 minute address recapping and quoting the speakers.
I have to thank you for all of your amazing efforts on our behalf, because truly, none of this would have been possible without your help.
I look forward to speaking with you on the telephone, because I have so many stories to share!
With gratitude,

I could not be happier with the service that was provided to Washington Mutual by ISB as we put together our new "Regional" sales meetings. The choices provided to us and the service you gave us to make sure we got just the right speaker for the occasion made our new format a hit with our Sales Force.
The best compliment I can provide is to tell you that the only Speaker Bureau phone number I will dial again is that of ISB.
In addition, the website was of particular help as I was able to "sample the menu" before making any decisions. I have referred your website to many others in this industry.
Thanks again for a great job :)

I cannot begin to say enough great things about International Speakers Bureau. I have used ISB several times to obtain outstanding speakers and performers for company meetings. Most recently, I worked very closely with ISB to confirm a top entertainer for one of our employee business meetings.
[The Content Consultant] was amazing. She is patient, detail oriented, organized, and most of all – very professional. She constantly kept me updated even if it meant calling me “after hours” to ensure me everything was going to be just right. I know she worked tirelessly on my project and she never ever was anything but professional, friendly and honest with me. In the end – everything came off just as requested by me. It was perfect!
There is no doubt in my mind that I will call ISB for our next meeting when my company is looking for a speaker/entertainer.
