Dr. Gary Salyer
Master Transformational Relationship Coach and Author of the Bestselling Book, Safe to Love Again
I have found this to be an absolute game-changer for me. It's so much easier. It allows me to see a bigger field. I can be more precise as to which ones really fit me. And it's just so wonderful when you reach out you have a lot more confidence that you're reaching out to the right people. If you're really a serious speaker, this will fast forward you a long way in your speaking career! I can't say enough about Speakertunity Cities. This is a beautiful service!
Norma Hollis
I am an international speaker who recently purchased a copy of Speakertunity Cities for Los Angeles. I was absolutely amazed at how many opportunities there were-- over 1400! That's the strongest list I've ever seen of speaking opportunities and I used to own a speakers bureau! It’s so important to always have a constant flow of opportunities to speak. Speakertunity Cities has it. I suggest you get your copy now.

FAQ:
Speakers and leaders are finding that they were stymied at getting more in-person speaking gigs for these reasons:
- They didn’t have time to find them.
- They couldn’t find agents who would book them (most of these have left the
business.) - They didn’t qualify for speakers’ bureaus for various reasons.
- Online speaker’s bureaus don’t often produce, and if they do it’s inconsistent.
- They didn’t know WHERE to find the speaker booking contacts—or even where to start looking!
- With these directories, no speaker is kept off stages because they can’t or don’t have time to find them!
- These are all evergreen opportunities that reoccur at meetings, venues and
associations. - There are 4 major categories broken out so you can easily select leads from the subcategories most pertinent to you.
- These include: Business: 55+ different sectors, sorted by industry, gender and ethnicity
- Philanthropic and Service Groups—everything from Rotary and Kiwanis to Soroptimists, Women’s Clubs, Zonta and more –anything that meets in the region.
- Consumer: All the places where you’d touch the consumer directly with your presentation (health support groups, moms, seniors, military, LGBT, parenting, libraries, bookstores, hospitals, holistic centers, etc); And much more…
- Spiritually-Focused Groups and Venues: Unity, Centers for Spiritual Living, faithbased groups and worship centers, Consciousness Exploration groups
- We track 1800 organizations that have local chapters around the country to make sure
we don’t miss any that could be important to you in your market! - And then we search for speaking opportunities unique to that market, not associated
with a national organization. - However, this does not include corporate contacts, nor events and conferences.
Your first directory investment is $479. But we want to encourage you to order more markets if you are finding value, so we have reduced your subsequent regional directories to $395.
We have also bundled certain groups together, such as the 3 in Southern California, the 3 in Northern California, the 4 in Florida and the Los Angeles-Chicago-New York Metro Directory bundle where you will SAVE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS if you buy that bundle.
If you want to get continued updated listings for any market that you have subscribed to after the close of your first year, you can extend your enrollment for $299/year…about
half or one/third of your initial investment.
- Choose the organizations that are aligned with you and your message. Then propose yourself as a speaker—or have an assistant or virtual assistant—reach out to the speaker booker. The most effective way to do that is to write a compelling email, which includes a well-designed speaker sheet and short 3-5 minute video of yourself presenting. You do not absolutely need to have these additional items, but they are a great asset as you get more experienced. Once you send the proposal email, follow up by phone.
- You may also wish to add a Speaker One-Sheet as an attachment. Explore
SpeakerTunity Sheets (www.speakertunity.com/sheets) in order to secure a professionally designed Speaker One-Sheet - There are also many suggestions on maximizing your efforts in your welcome letter once you enroll.
Most of these engagements will provide an opportunity for you to make an offer from the stage—fee-based or free--but a smaller percentage may involve a fee paid to you to speak. Those are most likely to be among the associations listed.
- However, if you are looking just for paid speaking engagements, this is not the resource
for you.
SpeakerTunity Cities does not cover conferences, events, or corporate contacts - our directories include meetings, venues, and associations in each local market!
