Q&A About Doug’s Programs

My job is to make you look like the expert you are for hiring me.

It is my responsibility to deliver what we have agreed to be the best value regarding my presentation, my professionalism, and my efforts to provide you, the director of the event an easy format for us both to reach our goals collectively as well as professional individuals.  In fact, my job in some ways will be to exceed expectations.

If needed can you cut or expand your presentation?

Yes… because of the desire to make sure that my presentation is very specific for your event, I am able to deliver a presentation that is clear and concise regarding the time format required while always mindful of the goal for a meaningful presentation for all.

Are you always successful?

Yes….  re-iterating the responsibility I incur as I gather information from you and of course, as you gather the information you need to make a good decision to hire me.  We will partner to deliver a successful presentation and event.

What do you need from us?

I will have forms for you to complete and of course I will be inquiring to many of your corporation and / or association constituents concerning in depth questions / interviews so that I can develop the best possible presentation, specifically designed for your very important attendees.

Can you present different programs in the same day?

I am often asked to deliver the keynote as well as breakout sessions during the same event and the same day.  Obvious planning is necessary, however, it is readily available and I encourage the interest for such an opportunity.

How do you known you are the right speaker for us?

Because of the over 25 years of successful business experience and speaking presentation skills, I have developed a great format for us to come to a conclusion as to how my presentation will benefit your event.  Therefore, if we have decided to partner for your event, we will have concluded to go forward with complete expectations in place and go forward with confidence that we will have a very successful event.  That said, of course, sometimes we come to a conclusion that it would not be the right event for given reasons.  This allows us to both move forward with other business opportunities.  I will be able to have suggestions of other speakers for your event if in fact; my presentation may not be the best for you.  I am more than happy to be of help with other ideas and suggested speakers as I hear of your needs and requirements.

We see you have speaking abilities but what is your business background?

As you peruse my web site www.parisdesignonline.com , or if you contact me via mail, doug.paris@parisdesignonline.com , you will be able to review my business background.  You will notice that I have over 25 years of business experience and development, most recently, since 1998 my clothing company Doug Paris Wardrobe & Design

Are you an author?

  I have two books that are published and am now working on my third book to be released soon.  Also, from time to time, I am asked to write for news publications, magazines and other corporate newsletters.

Do you fly first class?

I bill my clients for coach with a $150.00 upgrade fee and wherever possible, I pro-rate fares.  If I am flying for a multi-engagement trip, I divide the fares proportionately between clients.

What are your speaking fees?

I look forward to addressing this question with you as we define the specific needs and requirements for your event.  I will design a specific quote that will be fair and competitive concerning your event and presentation request.
