If our meeting runs long, can Don cut his presentation down?

What are Don’s speaking fees?
It depends on what kind of presentation you want (keynote speech, half-day seminar, etc.) and how many presentations you’d like. For complete fee information, please call 303-832-4248 or click here to send an e-mail.
Can I book Don through a speakers bureau?
Yep. Just call your favorite bureau. When you do, be sure to specify Don Cooper, The Sales Heretic™, from Denver, Colorado. Otherwise the bureau might confuse him with Donald Cooper, a speaker based in Toronto who speaks on marketing, service and business excellence. (Who is also smart, talented and a good guy.)
Is it cheaper if I book Don directly instead of through a bureau?
No. Don’s speaking fee is the same either way.
How old is Don?
This is the single most common question Don gets asked and it’s a heavily-guarded secret. We do know he’s of legal drinking age.
