Episode 137 - How to get in front of decision makers who pay speakers

In this episode of Pitch Perfect, Jaimie focuses on one of the biggest challenges for aspiring and established speakers alike — getting in front of the people who actually have the power (and budget) to pay. She explores how to identify and connect with the right contacts across corporate, conference, and association settings, and reveals the biggest mistakes speakers make when reaching out. Drawing on her own experience booking five-figure gigs, Jaimie shares proven strategies for building visibility, creating genuine connections, and pitching with confidence. Listeners will learn how to approach event organisers, stand out from a crowded inbox, and position themselves as a trusted professional speakers want to rebook. The episode wraps up with a practical weekly roadmap for finding, following up with, and nurturing relationships with decision makers turning cold outreach into consistent bookings.
