“We live in a time of dramatic paradigm shifts that challenge all of us to re-imagine the ways we have traditionally understood ourselves and our relationships. Bill Crawford not only gives us a wealth of new information that can inspire this process of change, he also gives us the practical tools to make it happen. Bill Crawford has a powerful gift of making complicated material accessible, memorable, and practical in application."

"If you have integrity, nothing else matters.
If you don't have integrity, nothing else matters."
Alan K. Simpson
During 2006, Dr. Crawford began experimenting with a new philosophy with respect to what he charges for his services. This policy, called "Integrity-Based Pricing," has been so successful that it has become permanent. It is based upon the belief that those who are requesting his services are people of integrity who often have a specific budget to work with in terms of what they can spend for a speaker and/or trainer.
Therefore, rather than charging a certain amount for a keynote, breakout session, corporate training, etc., Dr. Crawford is going to allow you to choose between two options, his "Very Flexible Fee Policy" and his "Extremely Flexible Fee Policy."
The "Very Flexible Policy" allows you to choose any amount between $2,000 and $7,500 (plus expenses) that represents the maximum your budget will allow. Again, because Dr. Crawford believes he is always working with people of integrity, he will agree to speak at your event for this amount.
His "Extremely Flexible Policy" is for organizations whose budget is below $2000 and yet still want a quality speaker such as Dr. Crawford for their event. In this case, all he asks is that you (a) promise to pay him the maximum your budget will allow, (b) If you and your colleagues like what you hear, that you write Dr. Crawford a letter that speaks to what you liked, and (c) that you send an email out to your friends and colleagues in other organizations letting them know of this resource. (Of course, because Dr. Crawford depends so much on word of mouth for his referrals, even if you choose the first option (the "Very Flexible Policy"), any enthusiastic recommendation to your friends and colleagues is always appreciated).
The goal of this philosophy is to make integrity the driving energy in terms of negotiating fees, and to deal with the issue of budget constraints in a creative way so that Dr. Crawford's message of clarity, confidence, and creativity is available to as many people and as many organizations as possible. Therefore, if you would like Dr. Crawford to present to your organization, please contact him by phone or email as soon as possible, because with the issue of "what does he charge?" being taken off the table, times and dates are going fast!
