#191 - Your Speaker Page Is Costing You Bookings — Here's the Fix

from Grow Your Public Speaking Business · host Wendi McNeill

Episode Title: Your Speaker Page Is Costing You Bookings — Here's the Fix I grabbed my coffee this morning and started scrolling through speaker websites — and I kept landing on the same feeling. So close. But not quite there. Beautiful pages, talented people, but something was quietly working against them. In this episode, I'm talking about the gap between a page that looks professional and a page that actually converts — and the small, fixable things that make all the difference to a busy event planner who's deciding in seconds whether to reach out or move on. After 24 years running Charli Jane Speakers, I've watched this pattern more times than I can count. The good news? Every single thing I'm talking about today is completely fixable — and you don't need a rebrand or a big budget to do it. In this episode: Why event planners close your tab without ever reaching out The gap between "looks professional" and "feels hireable" The most common fixable mistakes on speaker pages Why clarity converts better than impressive every single time What doable momentum looks like for your speaker page right now Free Resource 🎁 Ready to start finding real stages while you polish your page?
