Q1. Which departments on campus should we partner with to promote Delatorro’s event?

A. Student Organizations, Residence Life, College of Communications, College of Business, College of Arts & Sciences, College of Education, Psychology Department, Greek Life, Orientation, Career Services & Student Support Services

Q2. We are having some budget challenges, how can we still bring Delatorro to campus?

A. Totally understand, and I thank you for working so diligently to bring us to campus in spite of your budget challenges. One thing I would like to assure you of, our presentations are fresh, current, relevant and profound. Your investment in having us come to campus will more than pay for itself in the lives and careers of your students and staff. But to answer your question you have several cool options.
1. Try to co-sponsor my visit with other departments/colleges on campus.
2. Block book me to speak at several other colleges in your same city while I’m in town so everyone get’s a cheaper rate.
3. Let’s do a book fundraiser, where we share the profits from the book purchases. Call our office to learn more.
4. Reach out into your community for corporate sponsorship. Many companies have Community Development staff members whose job is to find and execute programs that make their company look good in the community. Sponsoring a keynote speaker for your campus is one such way that they could meet their goals and help your campus speaker budget at the same time.

Q3. What does the CSP behind Delatorro’s name mean?

A. Thanks for asking. Great question. The CSP at the end of my name stands for Certified Speaking Professional. It’s the highest earned international recognition of professional speaking excellence and client satisfaction bestowed by The National Speakers Association and the Global Speaker’s Federation. Basically it means that I’ve earned a spot in the top 7% of paid professional speakers worldwide. It’s a huge honor.

Q4. We are ready to book Delatorro…now what?

A. Awesome! Let’s do this! Okay here are the 5 super simple steps to securing me for your campus/conference.

2. Wait for a call from me or one of my staff members.
3. Once we finalize logistics, dates, fee, travel and such we then execute a simple one-page contract.
4. You all sign the contract, process the deposit (if able), and send the contract back to us.
5. We sign it, send you our W-9 information and complete any other paperwork on your side.

That’s it! We start marketing and promoting to create an awesome live event experience.

Q5. Does Delatorro also speak to Faculty and Staff or just students?

A. Absolutely. I LOVE speaking to Faculty and Staff. I’ve been an Adjunct Professor at a large state University and I’ve worked in the Organizational Development and Training Division at that same school. So I’ve been fortunate enough to train, motivate, equip and inspire faculty and staff locally and nationally at conferences and campuses for over 8 years now.

A. Orientation, Greek Life, Student Organizations, Residence Life, SGA, Peer Advisors, Minority Student Organizations, Student Affairs, Academic Affairs and/or Career Services, Student Support Services

Q8. Are there any proven marketing strategies that you can share that help maximize attendance when Delatorro comes to campus?

A. Yes. Here you go.
1. Give students extra credit for attending the event.
2. Invite Instructors to bring their entire class to the presentation.
3. Partner with other departments and colleges on campus to co-sponsor our visit.
4. Let the local news media know that a Professional Speaker and Best Selling Author is coming to town. They may want to cover the story, which will bring more notoriety to the campus and your event.
5. Let students know that they will be able to talk to me afterwards. I will sign their books and take photos as well.
6. Send me your twitter handle as soon as the event is booked, and I will start promoting it as well.

Q9. If there are other colleges in the area, does Delatorro offer a Block Booking discount?

A. Absolutely. I love block bookings! In fact that’s a very smart way to get me to your campus at a discounted rate and allow me to make an even greater impact on your city while I am in town. So if you have colleagues at other campuses in your town and you want to have me visit several campuses while I’m in town, we will work out a block booking rate so that everyone saves. It’s an awesome WIN-WIN.

Q10. I heard Delatorro speak at a conference where he was represented by Coleman Productions. Can I still book him here?

A. That’s awesome! I love Coleman Productions! Okay, so if you heard me speak at a conference where I was being represented by Coleman Productions, YES you can still get information from this site but once you have the information you need about my programs, please immediately call Brooke Sines my Booking Agent at Coleman Productions at 866.328.3762 to actually book me to come to your campus and/or conference.

Q11. What Keynote Speaker gifts does Delatorro like to receive from schools?

A. Awwww. You’re so sweet. Listen, just being a wonderful audience and applying the information and strategies that I share with you while I’m there, will be thanks enough. In addition, I LOVE College Swag, specifically athletic gear. I’ve got tons of mugs, pens, writing pads, stuff like that. The stuff I really like are jumpsuits, sweatpants and/or microfiber shirts.

Q12. Can we purchase copies of Delatorro’s book, The Rules of the Game, in bulk for our students?

A. Absolutely, we’ve had hundreds of campuses order bulk copies of The Rules of the Game for their student leaders, incoming freshmen, FYE classes, and conference attendees. It makes for a wonderful gift that keeps on giving because it continues the learning and success journey for each student long after I’ve left campus or your conference.
