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.

Basically it means that I’ve earned a spot in the top 7% of paid professional speakers worldwide. It’s a huge honor.
