My Speaker Leads has no long-term contract. You can cancel your subscription at any time by logging into your account and selecting the Cancel Service button. 

To see whether My Speaker Leads is right for your speaker sales process, we recommend receiving at least two months of leads. Each week is different, so if your first batch of leads was a poor fit, the next might be full of relevant opportunities. 

My Speaker Leads guarantees you 50-100 event leads per week, depending on your subscription level. 

We do not guarantee that leads will get back to you or that they will pay you to speak. This service is best suited for speakers with an established sales process. To improve your chances of landing a speaking gig from our leads, choose speaking opportunities that are the best fit for you and reach out with a professional approach. You can access our speaking resources for more tips on successfully landing speaking gigs. 

No. We found that too many of our emails ended up in subscribers’ junk and spam folders if we attached our lead files directly. Instead, we store our lead files on the My Speaker Leads website. Each week we upload a new set of leads and email you a link to where you can download them. You can easily download the CSV file of leads and import it into your favorite software or spreadsheet. 

No. Depending on your subscription level, every week we send you either 50 leads or 100 leads. Our research looks for opportunities most likely to pay speakers, giving you the best chance of landing a paid gig, regardless of industry. 

We put information about each lead in the lead file, including the industry for each lead. You can filter the lead file by that column once you download it if you choose. 

However, we recommend reviewing all the leads in each file to make sure you don’t miss a speaking opportunity that would be a good fit for you. Most speakers’ expertise and speaking topics work for opportunities across multiple fields. For example, one of our speakers works in digital marketing. Her expertise is in demand at all kinds of events and conferences, not just digital marketing events. 

We also don’t expect you to follow up with every lead. We expect speakers to contact only the leads that are a good fit for them, not send an email blast targeting every lead. (This is called spam.) Our most successful customers find 10-15 great fits for them every month. 

We would never recommend you do that. When you add someone to a mailing list, you need their permission. If you use an email service provider like Constant Contact or Mailchimp to send a bulk email using our contact data, you would likely be violating their terms of service, as well as the CAN-SPAM Act. 

Instead of sending a bulk email, please select the best-fitting opportunities from the list each week and send individual introductory emails to see if those leads are currently looking for speakers like you. 

Introduce yourself and ask who at the organization selects speakers. This contact changes frequently at many organizations. Even if the lead is “fresh, it could have just changed. Learn more about how to approach event managers here. 
We aim to be the most effective way for professional public speakers to find new leads for paid speaking opportunities – and being effective includes being affordable. Our prices are calibrated to save speakers money over hiring a virtual assistant or intern to do lead research.
Our primary market is events in the United States, with some additional leads in Canada. We occasionally find and include leads for English-speaking events outside the United States.
