about real marketing and business tactics." - JEN CONSALVO, TECH COCKTAIL

“Rohit’s presentation was one of the most successful in our history.” – MATT ROSS, AMERICAN MARKETING ASSOCIATION

"The best general session I have ever attended. Far too often speakers pontificate or entertain … I feel like I'll actually use things I learned."

- ATTENDEE SURVEY FEEDBACK, ASAE MARKETING CONFERENCE

“In 30 minutes, he taught PRWeek more about how information is disseminated on the internet than most people learn

in a decade of being a web consumer.” – ALEX BLACK, PRWEEK UK

of the Vocus Demand Success Conference favorites.” – BRINDISI CHAN, MARKETING MANAGER AT VOCUS

NOT ENOUGH? HERE’S A FEW MORE …

Most speakers usually will tell you that “it varies.” It does for me too – but that’s not particularly useful

so I’d rather just be transparent.

My standard speaking rate is $20,000 USD (commissionable for Speaking Bureaus)

Of course, there are situations where I may consider a lower rate for events closer to home (Washington DC) or if you have something

better than money to offer (use your imagination!) – so it doesn’t hurt to get in touch and let me know what you’re working with …

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO BOOK ROHIT?

On my speaking website, you can read my FAQs about working with me and get answers to lots of other

questions I have been asked by event planners and speaking bureaus – including …

STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?

How customized will Rohit’s talk really be? How do I know he understands my audience and industry? I know it’s not nice to ask, but what is Rohit’s nationality? How often does Rohit speak on “the circuit?” How big, exactly, is Rohit’s ego? My audience has never heard of him – isn’t that bad? What will Rohit never, ever do in a million years?
