Foremost, the above-mentioned fees are not fixed and if the organizing group, location, or topic excites Jim, he is more than happy to offer discounts. Fees are negotiable, and he is willing to work within your budget.

This speaking fee is inclusive of airfare, hotel, ground transportation, food, and all other miscellaneous expenses. We will manage all of the bookings and arrangements so you won’t need to worry about any of that.

This fee also includes pre-speech interviews so Jim can customize his presentation to meet your goals and objectives for your meeting. He has created entirely new presentations for clients like UPS and Wells Fargo Bank and would be happy to do the same for you.

We will make every effort to be accommodating and work within your speaker budget. We typically book engagements 2-24 months in advance and can also offer volume discounts on the book, McGraw-Hill’s “School for Startups,” to be included in your conference amenity bags to be given to all attendees upon meeting registration.

His enthusiasm, super knowledge and connection with participants is unmatched. We haven’t seen a speaker who has such a wide range of stories (from his experience at various businesses) and deep domain knowledge (he was a professor too!).

He has not only been a great speaker, but has originated “series” speaking events for our members that are requested over and over again. He is engaging and really involves the audience at a level they can understand. He continues to be a “go-to” speaker for us. He’s great!

Jim Beach is the most outstanding speaker I have ever seen. He has command of multiple topics and can offer insight on just about any topic impacting aspiring and existing business owners. A combination of humor, directness, intellect, and an innate ability to connect with the audience make him a formidable speaker. There is absolutely no question that Jim has made me better at what I do.

Chris Hanks, Head of Entrepreneurship Program | Univ. of Georgia

It is one thing to start a small business and build it into a success one time, but it is a completely different thing to do it over and over and over again! Jim Beach is a man who has cracked the code on starting a business with little or no money, and building it into a massive success! If you want to learn from someone who doesn’t just talk about success, but who is living it and teaching others …then you need to hear Jim Beach! He is incredible!

Willie Jolley, Hall of Fame Speaker

I have hired Jim repeatedly to give speeches for both customers and team members. He does a great job connecting with the audience and delivering his message in an effective, engaging and humorous way. I bring him back so often because I can always count on him to deliver information that leaves the audience better off than they were before they came. He has done sessions for me in small conference rooms all the way to huge convention rooms and he is incredibly nimble and able to adapt to each situation. I would not hesitate to hire him to speak at any of my events.
