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.
Client Testimonial: A Real-Life Saver
The true measure of Saxton Speakers' success is not just in our words but in the testimonials of our satisfied clients. The council client, whose Women in Business event faced a last-minute crisis, had this to say:
"Saxton Speakers came to our rescue for our Women in Business event. When our originally scheduled speaker had to cancel due to a sudden COVID diagnosis on the event day, Saxton sprang into action. They quickly identified suitable replacement speakers, checked their availability for our event which was just three hours away, and seamlessly made the switch. Thanks to Saxton's buying power and strong speaker relationships, we experienced minimal disruption during what could have been a stressful situation. We were thrilled with Saxton's support, highlighting their ability to handle the heavy lifting and allowing us to focus on other event elements. This instance perfectly exemplifies how Saxton became an invaluable part of our event team, ensuring the best outcome for all parties involved. Thanks so much, Saxton!"
