Testimonials
What a pleasure it is to work with the folks at CBA Speakers Bureau. We’re in the process of booking several speakers, artists and musical ensembles for our 2012-13 series. CBA has become our defacto agent and we couldn’t be more pleased. Every transaction is done in a timely, efficient and friendly manner. They work 24/7 for their clients. Even if the attraction you seek isn’t listed on their roster, give Jeff Barnes a call at CBA, and give him a chance to get your dream attraction. You’ll be glad you did. Bravo to CBA, five stars!

For more than 14 years, I have relied on Carole Barnes to provide guidance during the selection process for guest speakers at our meetings and conferences. She listens to our needs and provides us with creative and realistic recommendations. Her valuable advice during the selection and negotiation process has helped us to save time and money. Carole’s attention to detail throughout the process helps provide peace of mind knowing that our speaker’s needs, as well as those of Best Western, will be met.

Carole Barnes from CBA Speakers Bureau is a dream to work with. She worked so quickly to obtain the speaker of our dreams for our very special 50th Anniversary of Maverick Region Porsche Club in the Dallas Fort Worth area. Although we had a very specific speaker in mind for our event, Carole had several other candidates lined up that would fit our needs as well. She has been in constant communication with me about all of the details and our Board members were thoroughly impressed with the flawless contract CBA Speakers Bureau put together. I look forward to working with Carole for many years to come.

Carole, thank you for making our experience booking Gary Suson so easy. You and your team were exceptionally responsive to our needs and very patient with us since we so rarely book speakers. On behalf of all those who attended Mr. Suson’s presentation, thank you for working with us to bring him to Auburn.

I would heartily recommend retaining CBA Speakers Bureau for obtaining speakers. As Chairman for the AZPCA’s 50th Anniversary, I needed a speaker appropriate for our audience, in other words a person widely renown in the sports car racing world. I relied on Carole to find such a person. She canvassed many candidates to find us the perfect fit. After the final decision was made, Carole then handled all details flawlessly, such as transportation, lodging, and more importantly the contractual document which our board praised for its thoroughness. I would not hesitate to use her services for our next event.

We have worked with CBA Speakers Bureau to procure a speaker for our Rotary District Conference in May. They guided me in the right direction and were able to find a fit with both the content that we needed and the cost.
They have been in contact throughout the process to make sure things were on track and I certainly recommend them for other companies and organizations.

As the Executive Director managing the speaking business for Stephen M. R. Covey, I have had the pleasure to work with Carole Barnes over the last year. Her aptitude, integrity and attention to detail before, during, and after the speaking event were exemplary. As a key stakeholder in the execution of engagements, I have found it difficult to unlock communications with clients though bureaus. This industry wide epidemic has evolved into distrust as a starting place. Carole, on the other hand, comes from a place of high trust based on the relationships she creates that allows her to deliver beyond the contract and consciously enroll all parties to create the best experience.
I give my highest recommendation of Carole Barnes for the clients she represents, and also for the speakers and talent she liaisons.
Carole, thank you for your extension of trust to our organization. You are a gift to all that have had the pleasure to work with you.
