20 minutes on stage. Three calls booked.
You’ve been posting on LinkedIn for months. A few likes. One comment from your mum.
Meanwhile, the MSP down the road spoke at a local business event for 20 minutes and booked three discovery calls from the room. Speaking puts you in front of prospects who are already paying attention.
The scenario:
You want to build a plan to start speaking at industry and business events in your local market.
The prompt:
You’re creating a speaking engagement strategy.
Context: [paste your expertise areas, target audience, and local market]
Build a plan that:
Identifies 10 local events where your prospects attend (chambers, industry groups, tech meetups)
Creates 3 talk topics positioned as educational, not promotional
Includes a pitch email template to event organisers (under 100 words)
Designs a post-talk follow-up: collect business cards, send a resource, book calls
Builds a simple one-page speaker bio and headshot package
Start with free events. Build a reputation. Paid keynotes come later.
