Session 4 –  Sales Strategies for Speakers

Sales Are Important — Even for Speakers!

Let’s be honest: not every speaker focuses on sales — but those who do often see bigger opportunities and more consistent bookings. Whether you’re a full-time speaker or you offer speaking as part of your broader business, knowing how to generate leads and close paid opportunities is essential.

In this session, I break down one of the key ways I’ve successfully landed both leads and paid speaking engagements — without relying on an agent or a big-name bureau. You’ll walk away with a practical outreach system that you can implement right away, no matter your niche or level of experience.

What You’ll Learn in this Sales Strategies for Speakers Session:

Who to Reach Out To
Learn how to identify the right decision-makers — from event planners to HR managers, association directors, and corporate team leads — and tailor your pitch to what they care about.

Getting Contact Info
Discover tools and tactics for finding accurate email addresses and phone numbers without wasting hours digging online.

Delegating Outreach Tasks
Not great at cold emailing or follow-ups? No problem. I’ll show you how to systemize and delegate your outreach so you stay focused on what you do best — speaking.

Proven Email Scripts
You’ll get customizable email templates that have helped me and others get responses (and bookings!) from cold leads.

Proposal Document Template
Create a professional speaker proposal that clearly outlines your value, speaking topics, and pricing in a format that gets taken seriously.

Negotiation Strategies
We’ll cover how to confidently talk money, navigate rate conversations, and position yourself for both one-time gigs and repeat opportunities.


This session is ideal for speakers, coaches, consultants, and service-based business owners looking to consistently book paid speaking engagements without feeling “salesy.”
