Who can improvise when things turn south. Those people who have a turn of phrase that puts people at ease. And with the best emcees come Entertainers. If you’re writing pages of ‘script’ then you’ve got the wrong guy. Any good emcee worth their fee needs little more than a bullet point script. For all the above and more, an experienced emcee just knows how it’s done.Ģ) You’ve kept the agenda secret, the room decorations and obviously the award results too, so why not add some unexpected interest with an entertaining and engaging emcee who’s only job is getting the messages you wish to impart across and hold it all together? And I mean entertaining. Or even who should speak alone and who should be interviewed on stage so that they get their messages across without putting the attendees to sleep. Should you really do 15 awards in a row without some kind of breather? What’s the best way to open the meeting? How do we choreograph the ‘Winner’s Waltz’: you know, who hands the award to whom, who stands where, looking which way for a photo opp, etc. How long a break should be between speakers. That is, we’ve been there done that, and if you’re open to it, any good emcee can advise on all kinds of aspects.

This is the dream I have far too often, employees and people that have moved to new companies telling those in charge that ‘Bob from Sales’ isn’t the right person to emcee their meetings & events.

It also lets him meet with our users as he’s not in rehearsals, backstage, and all the other things a pro takes care of… New employee: Well, for one thing, it frees up Bob to do his job and not have to prepare to emcee.
It’s just that when I was at my last company we found a professional really engaged everybody, supported our messaging…and he was really funny too.īoss: Really? Ok, tell me more. New employee: Um, have you ever hired a professional emcee to host your meeting?īoss: Nah, Bob, our VP of Sales always does a good enough job. Why ‘Bob from Sales’ shouldn’t emcee your meetingsĪgenda Item: ACME National Sales & Users Meetingīoss: Ok, so that all sounds like a good plan.
