[quote=Anonymous]If invited to speak for an hour or so on a specific subject matter of which the professional has advanced level understanding, how would you suggest addressing payment? Professional has typically provided sessions at no charge though given the prep & time commitment, and frequency of engagement would like to start charging.

Like a lunch and learn, or speaking at a staff enrichment meeting. Educationally & to answer questions.

When invited, should the professional be stating a cost upfront?
i.e. yes I'm available and my typical fee for educational speaking is my hourly rate of xxx ( add something like please advise if budget is a concern, that I may consider alternative arrangements ??)

Can the professional just bill after the engagement?
i.e. thank you for having me on x date, attached is my invoice for ____ in the amount of $500.00

If you're inviting a professional to come speak, generally speaking, are you expecting to pay something? Do you think comping their meal is sufficient? What price would you reasonably pay?[/quote]
