Make sure your introduction answers the questions, “Why this speaker?”
Be upbeat!
Share something personal about the speaker.
Don’t steal the speaker’s thunder or material.
Don’t say, “Our speaker needs no introduction.”
If you are going to use humor, clear it with the speaker first.
“I work with only a few speakers’ groups throughout the year, because I’m selective. If you’re like me, I highly recommend you do business with Rich and his crew as they are true professionals.”
