Waiting to be "picked" from a speaker portal is not a strategy - it's a lottery ticket.
In this episode, Karen breaks down exactly how she used one short LinkedIn message to land a spot on a conference panel - no application, no pitch deck, no waiting in a queue. She shares the real conversation, word for word, and shows you how to find the actual human behind any stage you want to borrow.
In this episode, you'll learn:
-
Why the speaker portal is "the void" - and what to do instead
-
How to find the real decision-maker behind any conference, podcast, or corporate event
-
The exact two-sentence LinkedIn message that opened the door
-
What to say (and what NOT to send) after the first reply
-
How to build a simple pipeline of stages you want to borrow
If you've been filling out speaker applications and hearing nothing back, this episode will change how you approach it entirely.
