A Crisis Averted: How Saxton Speakers Can Help

In November 2022, Saxton was engaged by a council client to secure a speaker for their Women in Business event. After careful consideration of the event's objectives, audience demographic, and budget constraints, we identified the ideal speaker who could inspire and engage the attendees. All arrangements were made, and the event date approached with high anticipation.

However, fate had other plans. On the very day of the event, the scheduled speaker was diagnosed with COVID-19, forcing them to withdraw from the event, and leaving the council client in a state of panic.

Swift Action and Seamless Transition

Saxton Speakers prides itself on its extensive network and strong relationships with speakers from various fields. This network proved to be invaluable on that fateful day.

In response to this crisis, Saxton Speakers immediately went into action. Within a matter of hours, our sales team reviewed several alternative speakers who could deliver a similar outcome aligned with the event's theme and objectives. Our team reached out to these speakers, checking their availability for an event scheduled to take place in just three hours.

Thanks to our buying power and our enduring relationships with speakers, we were able to seamlessly swap in another qualified speaker who not only met the event's requirements but also brought their unique expertise and charisma to the stage. Read more…
