The AGENCY Speakers’ Dan Sims Travels Around the World to Understand & Appreciate His Clients

The Plains, VA, July 04, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Local Entrepreneur, Dan Sims, President of The AGENCY Speakers LLC, has shattered the industry norm-ed definition of the agent – client relationship; taking the added step of engaging in activities that his clients are passionate about. “Unfortunately many agents around the country have forgotten how important it is to know the talent they represent on a profoundly intimate level. Our meeting planning clients are extremely smart and often do enormous research on their own. They don’t need me to tell them where someone lives or where they went to school, they can read that in a bio. What they need is firsthand, personal experience and expertise, and that’s what we provide,” says Sims. For instance, some of the ways Sims has built client relationships in the past include: skiing in the Canadian Rockies with a travel guru, scuba diving off the Yucatan peninsula with a multicultural expert, drinking cocktails in Maui with the creator of a syndicated comic strip, hiking the Great Wall of China with a PhD, eating crabs in Annapolis with a banking executive or dozens of other adventures. If you aren’t jealous enough, next up on Sims’ agenda just happens to be trekking Mt. Kilimanjaro with a world-class adventurer, Jeff Evans. Dan will be embarking on the Grand Expedition, which will be lead by Jeff and will take them up the Umbwe Route; this strenuous trek will allow Sims to summit Mt Kilimanjaro in 5 days, at the elevation of 5,895 m. He will experience over 4,000 meters in elevation gain and cover about 46 kilometers over the 10 days. Dan will be departing the 3rd of August for Africa and will return the 16th of that month. Sims’ client, Jeff Evans is one of the country’s most respected mountaineering guides, and has become one of the most sought after adventure-based motivational speakers since teaming up with The AGENCY Speakers. Evans speaks on the topics of teamwork, leadership, focus, change, and inspiration; he has taken the countless lessons acquired during his many adventures and relates them to applicable themes found in professional and everyday life. Sims hopes that during their adventure together, he can take in some of Jeff’s experiences first-hand, so that he can understand, represent, and recommend Jeff Evans as best as possible. This idea is what Sims and his team at The AGENCY Speakers apply to all client relationships; the intimate knowledge of both their meeting planning clients and the talent has created a world-class speakers bureau. THE AGENCY’s clients come back time after time to work with one of the most provocative and creative agencies in the country.
