Working with Jack
After the contract is signed, Jack will need to exchange information with you in order
to make his presentation a success. The information falls into two categories
(just click on the category below to skip to that section).
Many of the things you should know are related to the logistics of getting
photos and session descriptions prior to the event, getting Jack to the event,
ensuring the appropriate A/V equipment is available, and what Jack's introducer
should say.
High-resolution photo (head & shoulders).
Many clients need a photo for marketing brochures. If you need one, just click here for a downloadable, high-resolution four-color photo in jpeg format.
Session descriptions If you need a customized written session
description, please contact Jack at 1.770.645.2373 or by email at business-speaker@mindspring.com.
Travel requests Jack will make his own air travel arrangements. He
will need you to make lodging reservations with the following requests: a
non-smoking, king room. Normally, Jack's hotel charges are billed directly to
your master account.
A/V needs Jack requires the following in order to provide the best
possible presentation. Please let us know by clicking here if changes are required or you
need more information.
Cordless microphone
Data projector for an IBM-compatible laptop computer
Screen for PowerPoint slide presentation
Tie-in from the laptop to the room sound system. (Laptop has a mini plug
line-out port)
Video Recording
Unlike many other speakers, Jack does not charge an additional fee for video recording his presentations. So long as the video recording is not used for commercial gain nor as a replacement for hiring Jack for other engagements, Jack encourages video recording of his sessions. He does request that, if you choose to video record his presentation, you do so in a digital format and provide him with a copy of his introduction and presentation on MiniDV tape - NOT a DVD. Jack will be glad to discuss these technical specifications with your A/V professionals if you wish.
Brief Introduction If your event will require that someone
introduce Jack, you will find a brief introduction that you can print out by
clicking here
.
Jack would like to have the following information as soon as possible and
preferably at least 45 days prior to the event. Please feel free to send it via
email or by calling if you have it available sooner.
How many people will be in his session (usually this information can be
shared around 3 weeks prior to the event)?
Please provide a brief profile of your audience, (for example:
"approximately 300 presidents and upper level managers from manufacturing
companies across the U.S.")
Please provide a detailed agenda for your event about 30 days ahead of time.
Do you have information about your group and your industry that is
available to Jack online? Please list the URL(s).
Jack will want to speak with you and key players at your
company/organization in order to determine the best way to package his message
for your particular group. Jack prefers to have this conversation fairly close
to the day of the event so that he can incorporate the latest information
about the technologies and about your industry.
Where have Jack's hotel reservations been made? What is the address and
phone number of the hotel? What is the confirmation number?
If not at the same hotel as the event, where will the event be held? What
is the address?
What is the attire for the event (casual, business casual,
business)?
