Frequently Asked
Questions: (Just the FAQs, Ma’am)
Q:
Who are some of Linda’s clients?

Linda’s clients
include Fortune 500 companies, schools and educational organizations,
professional societies, church groups, civic groups, women’s conferences,
not-for profit organizations and more….national and international. For

Q: How can I
preview one of Linda’s programs?
A:
To have a short preview video sent overnight to you, contact us at (800)
325-2844 or
linda@lindahenley-smith.com. Linda also has video footage of her family’s trip
to the Grand Canyon when she was five years old. She was much cuter
then. But, you will probably want to stick with the program preview.
Online program video coming soon.
Q:
How are the speaking fees
determined and how much are they?
A:
When arriving at a fee for speaking services, we take into consideration
the length of the program; for instance, a keynote is typically less
expensive than a half-day or day-long seminar or “playshop”. If asked
nicely, Linda will also throw in a breakout session along with a keynote,
at no extra charge. And, there is usually a discount for not-for-profit
organizations. The bottom line is this: if you will let us know what you
need and the date you need it, we’ll be happy to toss around a few options
and make you an offer that will work for you!
Also, to save money on
travel, if you can get another group in your area interested in a “For the
Good Times” program, you might be able to share travel and accommodation
expenses and a reduction in the speaker fee. Yippee!
Q:
Can my organization pre-purchase
Linda’s books, tapes and products?
A:
Yes!
In most cases, when you purchase in bulk, we can provide you with these
items at a substantial discount over the list price and deliver them
directly to your meeting site. If requested, Linda will be happy
to sign books at your event. Actually, she will
sign anything. But, she promises not to write on the walls.
Q:
How far is Linda willing to
travel?
A:
If you offer her food
and a bed, Linda will go anywhere! She does not get airsick, so
there are no limitations. Linda has presented in just about every
state in the country as well as in Mexico, Canada and Europe.
Q:
What are the terms of payment?
A:
Upon signing of the
contract, we ask for a 20% non-refundable deposit. That will
guarantee that the date is saved for you. It will also give Linda
some spending money. Seriously…the date will be saved and all
other jobs will be turned down. If your organization should have
to cancel the engagement, the deposit will be forfeited. If you
need to cancel within 90 days of the event, the full fee will be due.
The balance of the fee shall be due upon completion of the speaking
services. Remember: Linda used to teach Junior High, so she
has no fear! If you don’t pay….watch out, because she’ll be taking
names!!
Q:
OK…I’m sold! I want Linda to
present a lively, entertaining and educational “For the Good Times”
program. What do I do now?
A:
First, prepare for a good time. Then, contact us and we will send you a
packet which will help in the planning of your event. This will include a
contract, a program title and description (suitable for framing or a
printed program) a list of audio-visual needs and other important
information that you can’t live without. You will also receive a planning
sheet with questions which will help us to personalize your program. For
