My number 1 speaker tip: Simplicity Sells

(especially if you’re trying to get gigs)

Two-thirds of event planners are planning larger budgets for meetings in 2025; if you want to get booked, then:

- Remember they don’t know you

- Remember they want a problem solved

- Remember they want a transformation

Why else would they bring you on stage?

If you want to get booked, you need to:

1. Get clear on the one thing you solve better than anyone else.

2. Simplify your messaging so it’s impossible to misunderstand.

3. Make your demo reel audience-focused—not speaker-focused.

4. Highlight a specific transformation that event planners care about.

5. Keep consistent clarity across your website, reel, and outreach.

Bonus: Your demo reel should sell, not just show.

Don’t: Make a reel a highlight video of your accomplishments (nobody cares).

Do: Frame it as a story about solving their problems.

CLEAR difference.

Your demo reel is not just a snapshot of your performance; it’s a preview of the results you deliver.

Get them thinking: “This speaker gets it. This is exactly what our audience needs.”

They’ll reward you by booking you.
