Get Speaking Gigs Now

Turn every speaking opportunity into a magnet for ideal clients.

If you don’t know how to get more speaking gigs, if your speaking isn't making you any money, if you’re not able to attract your ideal clients effectively, or if you’re not speaking your true message and need help with that, this episode is the solution. Stop chasing clients and start attracting them from the stage.

In this episode, Jennifer Henczel sits down with Lisa Reid, author, speaker, and founder of Get Speaking Gigs Now, to discuss how to transform speaking into a powerful marketing and sales engine. Lisa shares her incredible journey—from booking 83 speaking engagements in her first year to building a global network—and explains why you don't need a massive email list or complex tech to start generating revenue from the stage. Whether you are a podcaster looking to monetize your message or an entrepreneur wanting to reach a more targeted audience, Lisa provides the roadmap to getting "ready to rock" your next talk.

Episode Highlights:

1. The Power of Volume: Lisa booked 83 speaking gigs in her first year and now maintains a consistent schedule of 40 gigs annually without any cold outreach.
2. Rock your talk: Successful speaking begins with a talk that is intentionally aligned with your business goals, a clear call to action, and a message you are "madly in love with".
3. Monetization Strategies: Beyond the traditional "paid keynote," speakers can often find higher returns on "free" or "waived fee" stages by offering their own programs, masterminds, or coaching services.
4. Identifying Your Ideal Stage: Success is found by narrowing your focus; instead of speaking to "anyone, anywhere," find specific professional associations or niches where your ideal clients already hang out.
5. Podcasting as a Stage: The strategies used for physical stages apply directly to podcasting, allowing hosts to treat their show as a platform for invitation and conversion.
6. Hallway Conversations: At events like trade shows, the real value often happens through the networking and "hallway conversations" that occur after the presentation.
