How much should you charge? 15 tips on figuring out your speaking fee
A few days ago, a friend of mine sent me an email. He had recently spoken at an event for a group of bankers, and he was unsure if he quoted the right fee.
He asked me: “How do you figure out how much a speaker should charge?”

As I was writing him back, I realized that many speakers must be asking themselves the same question.
