No system for finding gigs
Every booking comes from word of mouth, a referral or someone stumbling onto you. There's nothing proactively putting you in front of new buyers.

Common Challenges
Any of This Sound Familiar?
The six problems we hear most, across 500+ sales calls with speakers.
Bookings are inconsistent
A great month, then a quiet one. You never know how many stages are coming, so you can't plan your income or your calendar.
Still speaking for free
You're giving talks for exposure or a small honorarium, and paid speaking hasn't become a real revenue stream yet.
Not sure what to charge
You don't know what your fee should be, or how to package and position your offer so organizers say yes to it.
Can't reach the decision-makers
The people who actually book speakers (event organizers, administrators, superintendents) are hard to find and harder to get a reply from.
No time to market yourself
Between a full-time job, clients and life, there's no bandwidth left to build and run a marketing engine on top of it.

The Speakhyve Formula
Four stages that take you from great talk to a predictable pipeline of paid engagements.
01Foundation
Assets & Positioning
Most speakers market a great talk to buyers who don't have a budget for it. Your message has to match the problems decision-makers already pay speakers to solve.
- Positioning that speaks to what buyers already pay for
- Offers and packages that command premium fees
- Marketing assets that make you easy to say yes to
- A clear plan for your first 90 days

02Lead Generation
Outbound Marketing System
Referrals, bureaus and hoping to get found are all reactive. Without a way to reach new decision-makers, your calendar is out of your control.
- A steady flow of new speaking opportunities, every day
- Your message in front of the people who actually book speakers
- Fully managed by a dedicated team, hands-free for you
- A system you own for life, with full visibility
1.5M+cold emails sent for speakers in the last year, so we know what gets replies.
03Conversion
Lead Conversion
Generating leads is the first step. Converting them into paid contracts is a completely different skill, and it's where most speakers leave the most money on the table.
- Every lead organized and followed up on
- Knowing exactly what to say at every stage
- More conversations turned into booked calls
- The tools and training to close with confidence
$21Kin three gigs for one client, all from the 4th and 5th follow-up.
04Scale
Revenue Multiplication
Most speakers fly in, give one talk and fly home. Every booking is a chance for more, but working the surrounding market is too time-consuming to do alone.
- Turn single bookings into multi-stop tours
- More revenue from every trip you take
- Repeat and referral business from every stage
- Growth that compounds with every gig
$5K → $18Kone talk in Hawaii turned into a mini-tour off a single trip.

FAQ
Your Questions, Answered.
How much does it cost?
We have multiple packages to fit where you are and where you want to go, so it depends. This is a partnership and a done-for-you service, not a software subscription, so there is an upfront investment. If you're ready to grow, we'll show you a clear path to ROI on your call and walk through exactly why the math makes sense for your business.
How does the marketing system actually work?
Most speakers are reactive: waiting on referrals, hoping a bureau sends something, posting content and hoping the right person sees it. We flip that upside down and build a proactive system that generates new leads every day. We set up all the tech and sending infrastructure, source your leads from our database of 1.5M+ decision-makers plus a dedicated researcher who finds events that fit you, write personalized outreach campaigns, and run those campaigns on your behalf.
Is it guaranteed?
Nothing in life is guaranteed. If you don't do the work, you won't get the results. That said, we stand behind ours: with our ROI Guarantee, if you haven't earned back your full investment by the end of six months, we keep working at no additional cost until you do. And for the speakers who show up, manage their leads and follow our process, their investment produces outsized returns.
Do you take a commission on my bookings?
No. We're not a bureau or an agent. You keep 100% of your speaking fees, and the system we build is yours.
How long until I see leads and bookings?
Event planners and decision-makers typically book speakers 3–12 months out, so this isn't an overnight success. We've had speakers close $22K in their first 30 days, and others take 4–6 months to generate $30K–$50K. On average, the first booking lands within 75–90 days, as long as you're handling the leads we generate for you well.
Do you only work with education speakers?
No. Our clients book K–12 schools and universities, but also corporate events, professional associations and conferences. We target whichever markets fit your message best.
What happens after we work together?
Everything we build is yours. You can take it in-house, or we keep growing together. Most speakers we work with end up hiring and training their first team member with our help and continue to scale, and we have custom options for exactly that.
