Frequently Asked Questions on Working With Jenn

The typical fee includes a strategy call, pre-event check-in, customized event talk, post-talk options include Q&R, book signing, panel discussion and more based on your event needs. Fees also include post-event strategy call and post-event feedback report. And always, a little surprise & delight!

Absolutely!

Yes! I love connecting with audience members because it means more takeaways that they are more likely to apply (and thank you for the event!) I am happy to talk about book signings, meet-and-greets, panels, and fireside chats.

I do have flexibility based on your needs and budget.

My typical policy is that you may record but publish publicly no more than 2-minute clips without an extra licensing fee. Internally, I typically allow a 30-day availability. I also request you share any raw footage or clips with me. I am happy to talk through options for your needs.

I typically charge a flat fee for travel and logding. Currently it's around $1,000. If your event is in one of those lovely, but hard to get to places, the fee may increase. If your event is close to me and doesn't require flights or car rentals, I will absolutely decrease the fee.
