How to Write a Speaker Pitch Email That Gets Opened

If you’ve been pitching yourself for speaking gigs and hearing crickets, the problem might not be your topic; it might be how you’re showing up in the inbox. 

In this episode, I break down a simple 3-part speaker pitch email formula that helps meeting planners actually open your email, read it, and respond. 

You’ll learn how to write a subject line that gets opened, an opening line that builds instant connection, and a short pitch that makes it easy to say yes … without writing a novel.

What You’ll Learn

• Why generic subject lines get ignored (even if your talk is great)
  
• A simple subject line structure that signals relevance fast
  
• How to start your email without leading with “Hi I’m a speaker…”
