Marcus has spoken inside
Three questions. Sixty seconds. One real number.
Most speakers undercharge by 40 to 60 percent because they don't have a defensible number. The Rate Card fixes that in under a minute.

Count only paid gigs in a typical year. Free engagements don't count here. Most working speakers in the U.S. complete fewer than 20 paid engagements per year. 50+ paid gigs per year is the top 1% of the market.

I built Flikshop. I speak at Apple, Meta, and TED. And every week, a speaker tells me they took another free gig because they didn't know what to charge.
I'm Marcus Bullock. Founder of Flikshop, a tech company connecting families separated by incarceration. TED speaker. Keynote speaker for Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and universities. Founder of The Speaker's Launchpad.
I built The Speaker's Rate Card because the speaking industry hides its numbers. Speakers walk into negotiations without ammunition, accept fees that undervalue them by half, and stay stuck. That's the problem this tool exists to solve, free, no email required to see your result. Email only if you want the system that gets you to the next tier.
Speakers who built the business on this system.
The Speaker's Launchpad isn't theory. These speakers used the same frameworks the calculator is built on.
"This wasn't about helping me learn how to speak better. It was about how to create the business I need to create to stay booked."
"It's a universe away from where I was before when I was pretty much just winging it. I'm a professional speaker now. I have a business."

Industry benchmark data from National Speakers Association, NSB, PCMA, AAE Speakers Bureau, and BigSpeak surveys. We layer real outcomes from Speaker's Launchpad graduates on top of the public industry data. The result is a fee range that holds up in actual negotiations, not theoretical pricing.
Founder of Flikshop (a tech company connecting families separated by incarceration), TED speaker, and keynote speaker for Apple, Meta, Amazon, Boeing, Bank of America, and government agencies. He built The Speaker's Launchpad to teach the business systems behind speaking, not just the craft.
If you want, you can save your email and get 7 emails over 2 weeks teaching the pricing strategy and the system for moving up tiers. No spam, no obligations. Unsubscribe any time. If you find the system valuable, you can join the Speaker Business Challenge ($27) or skip to the Speaker's Launchpad Bootcamp.
It gives you a defensible range: floor, target, walk-away. Three numbers, not one. That's how working speakers actually negotiate. The floor is the minimum you should accept. The target is the realistic ask. The walk-away is the aspirational figure for buyers who have the budget.
Especially for you. The Novice tier result shows you the gap between $0 and what speakers like you should be charging. Then it shows you the exact 4 steps that move you out of free-speaking territory. That diagnosis is the whole point.
