#192 - Does Your Speaker Bio Pass the 60-Second Hireable Test?

from Grow Your Public Speaking Business · host Wendi McNeill

Does Your Speaker Bio Pass the 60-Second Hireable Test? I was sitting with my coffee this morning, thinking about a member I worked with years ago, talented, gifted, and I couldn't figure out why the bookings weren't coming. We looked at her bio together, and I realized immediately: it was written for her, not for the planner. In this episode, I'm talking about the 60-second hireable test, what event planners are actually doing when they land on your page, and the three things every bookable bio needs to do fast, clearly, and confidently. After 24 years running Charli Jane Speakers and watching what gets speakers booked (and what quietly costs them stages), this is one of the most doable momentum moves you can make right now. In this episode: Why event planners scan instead of read, and what that means for your bio The 3 things every bookable bio must do in 60 seconds The shift from writing your story to solving the planner's problem Why this one fix can change your entire booking season Free Resources:  Want to start finding real stages right now?
