What Can GBS do for YOU?

GBS works with some of the most well known politicians, entertainers, media personalities, motivators, business executives, entrepreneurs, and intellectuals out there. However, what makes us different is our willingness to build relationships with speakers who do not have a well known brand name built, but have positive messages to share that will impact lives. We are aware that there is an abundance of high quality speakers who are passionate experts on a wide variety of topics. We also understand how difficult it can be for speakers to break through the clutter and position themselves to earn paid speaking engagements. GBS is here to give you a boost in this effort!

Marketing speaking services to colleges, corporations, and other organizations is an expensive endeavor for a public speaker to endure. GBS uses its expertise in marketing, sales, and publicity to alleviate the heavy financial burden that speakers normally carry by creating a "marketing collective." The marketing collective allows speakers to experience the benefits of a substantial marketing & media organization while only investing a small monthly fee. This model is similar to a time share investment in a vacation home or investing your money in an experienced mutual fund account. The difference is that the bang for your buck generated by GBS speaking leads are usually much higher!
