If you’re a coach, consultant, or keynote speaker, you’ve likely heard the advice: “Just be active on LinkedIn.” But what if we told you that one powerful messaging framework helped secure over 10 paid speaking gigs—all within just 60 days?
This isn’t about sending spammy mass messages or relying on automation. It’s about authentic, value-driven outreach done right.
In this blog, we’re sharing the exact LinkedIn messaging strategy that actually gets responses—and bookings.
🚀 Why This Script Works
Before we get into the script, let’s break down why it works:
✅ It’s personalized (no copy-paste blasts)
✅ It creates value before asking for anything
✅ It respects time (short, clear messages)
✅ It starts a real conversation, not a pitch
💬 The 3-Part Messaging Script
Here’s how the sequence flows:
1. Connection Request Message
“Hi [First Name], I’ve been following your work at [Company/Event Name] and really admire the impact you’re making. I’m a speaker on [Topic] and would love to connect with like-minded professionals!”
✔️ Why it works:
It’s personal, specific, and mentions shared interests. No pitching yet—just opening the door.
2. Follow-Up After They Accept
“Thanks for connecting, [First Name]! I noticed you’re involved with [Event/Company Type]—I often speak at similar platforms on [Topic], helping audiences navigate [Key Outcome].
If you ever need a speaker for [Relevant Event Type], I’d be happy to explore how I can bring value.”
✔️ Why it works:
Now you introduce the offer—but gently. It shows relevance, expertise, and invites interest instead of demanding it.
3. Nurture Message (If No Reply)
“Hey [First Name], just looping back in case this got buried in your inbox 😊
If you’re planning any upcoming events where you need a speaker on [Your Topic], I’d love to chat!”
✔️ Why it works:
Polite follow-up. Keeps the tone friendly, human, and non-pushy.
🔑 Bonus Tips That Make the Script Even More Effective
- Personalize the message with their company, city, or recent post
- Keep messages under 500 characters
- Use bullet points when sharing speaking topics
- Always include a link to your speaking page or sample talks
