Turn Speaking Opportunities Into Client Pipelines
Every stage, every room, every interview is an opportunity to attract the right clients. The question is whether your speeches are working for both your audiences and your business.
For B2B founders, consultants, and executives
Don't let the momentum stop when you leave the stage.
- Your message is built for the room, but not for the conversion that comes after it.
- Each speech is more stressful than it needs to be. You're investing time and energy into every event without consistent, repeatable ROI.
- The content treadmill hasn't solved it. You need leverage from the speaking you're already doing.
The Speech-to-Sales System™
In addition to powerful delivery, we focus on what happens before, during, and after every talk. The Presence-Forward Marketing™ approach blends the positioning, the pipeline, and the follow-through.
Together, we build a system that makes every speaking opportunity measurably worth your time.
Imagine
You have a signature talk that opens conversations before you finish the Q&A.
Your follow-up runs on a sequence you built once. Your calendar is filtered by clear criteria, so every yes is a room where your ideal clients actually are.
You speak, the system does the rest.
“For years, our founder was speaking at events to build our brand and bring in new business. We grew to the point where the founder-led approach no longer made sense. We needed our executive team to step in and speak at industry events throughout the year.
Prior to hiring Sharí, we tried working with a presentation skills training company and the results were disasterous. The experience left everyone feeling stiff an insecure on stage.
Sharí came in with a holistic approach and clear strategy.
She personally worked with our executives and helped us build keynotes, panels, webinars, and AMAs. Every team member felt confident in the content and authentic on stage.
With her guidance, our best presentations converted 50–75% of audiences into leads for our sales team. Sharí’s strategy helped our messaging, brand, and internal alignment.”
“Sharí helped us go from 2 or 3 leads per conference to 30, 40, even 50+. Her customer-focused strategies and communication frameworks boosted our revenue by 62% and made us stand out in a crowded industry.
I'm still leveraging the speeches that we came up with years ago. In fact, I gave one twice recently and was told by attendees at both events that it was one of the best speeches of the conference. ”
"Sharí helped me clarify my content and unique selling proposition for my speeches and workshops. I now have a strategy that connects my speaking to paid consulting and growth.”
"I used Sharí’s advice during my keynote and got 70 new leads! If we didn’t speak before hand to strategize what was best to do for this occasion, I would have missed this opportunity. Her strategies are genius and I hope more speakers better understand the opportunity to leverage their talk.”
“Before working with Sharí, I had speeches and podcast interviews that went well, but they didn't bring in any new clients.
My first presentation with Sharí's advice generated $1M in new raise. The next raised another $1M. And the next brought in $2M.
We worked so well together that I hired her to apply the same strategic thinking to launch and grow my YouTube channel. We already have 24K subscribers and I can directly attribute new clients from the videos she's helped produce.
“There's no doubt that Sharí's elevated our influence throughout our industry. I had no idea how impactful she would end up being, not only to my my thought leadership, but also to my brand and growing the business.
Sharí has helped me find clarity in our message, launch new services, and help me leverage speaking opportunites and added $2M in ARR to our business.
She has been a trusted thought partner over the years and we recently celebrated winning Franchise of the Year. She’s been instrumental in refining our communication with my team and in our marketing strategies.”
"What stood out was how Sharí effortlessly tapped into my voice and connected to our target market.
With her 360-degree approach, we crafted presentations, tools, materials, and event sponsorships that served our audiences and became fantastic lead generators.
Our first launch together did 6-figures in added revenue. Sharí truly understands businesses, audiences, and people on a level that's both intuitive and transformative."
“Sharí helped me turn my highly technical, industry-specific ideas into clear, compelling speeches. Thanks to her advice, we saw a significant bump in leads from our first audience after working together. Her structure and strategy were exactly what I needed.”
"If you want the biggest bang for your energy and your buck, working with Sharí is the best place to be. After 15 years of speaking at 10-50 events a year, I wanted my talks to make more of an impact - for both my audiences and my business. She provides a wealth of practical wisdom, insights and tools. Now I know exactly where to pitch, how to uplift people in the room, and (just as importantly) convert audiences into clients.”

Who It's For
This is for you if...
- You're a B2B founder, consultant, or executive using speaking as a sales channel
- You're clear on your offer and ready to scale your visibility
- You're getting on stages but not generating consistent pipeline from them
- You want a strategic partner who understands both the stage and the business, not just delivery coaching or generic marketing advice
- You want a clear process and repeatable system for your speaking efforts
This is not for you if…
- You haven't defined a target market yet
- You don't have a validated offer yet
- You're just looking for a speaking agent or booking service
- You're looking for quick speaking hacks rather than a real system
- You're not ready to invest in your visibility strategy
How much time will this require from me each week?
Calls are 60–90 minutes and typically happen weekly or every other week depending on the phase. Outside of calls, how much time you spend is largely up to you — some clients prefer to be hands-on with developing materials, while others leverage our fractional services to have the team develop assets like the events database, speech titles, and audience profiles on their behalf. Either way, each phase averages four to eight weeks from start to finish.
I already have a talk. Do I still need Phase 1?
Not necessarily. If you already have your speaker positioning, a target list of stages, and outreach in motion, you can absolutely enter at Phase 2. The one requirement for all new clients regardless of entry point is the Audience Intelligence Profile session — it's the foundation everything else is built on and ensures our work together is as targeted and effective as possible.
Is this just presentation skills coaching?
What we build is a speaking strategy that determines which stages are right for you, how to position your expertise to attract the right clients, and how to turn every speaking opportunity into pipeline. That said, Sharí is a skilled performance coach and is more than happy to work with you on any area that would strengthen your delivery. She's helped highly successful leaders work through everything from refining their presence to overcoming stage fright (because that can happen to anyone at any level). This is a holistic approach. The goal is always for you to feel comfortable, confident, and authentically yourself on stage, while getting results for your audiences and your business. We're simply not limited to the performance side of the craft.
What are the "done-for-you" options?
For clients who want to move faster or simply prefer to hand off the build, Sharí and team can develop:
- Customized events database
- Audience Intelligence Profile™
- Speech titles and descriptions
- Custom outreach templates
- Proposals
- Audience Activators™
- Slide decks
- Video scripts
- Speaker + media kits
Done-for-you options are available as add-ons and are discussed during your initial consultation based on your goals and timeline.
Is this available for teams, not just individuals?
Yes. Engagements can be structured for executive teams where multiple people share a speaking strategy. Sharí offers workshops, executive retreats, and private virtual cohorts. Reach out to discuss scope.
Are payment plans available?
Yes. Payment installments are available for engagements. Payment plan details are discussed during your consultation.
What is Stage & Strategy and what's included in the membership?
Stage & Strategy is our private community for B2B founders and consultants who use speaking as a sales channel. Membership includes access to live group sessions, workshops, templates, and a community of founders doing the same work you are. Every 1:1 client receives membership as part of their engagement — duration ranges from three months to a full year depending on your package. Stage & Strategy is also available as a standalone membership for founders who want community access without 1:1 support.
How is this different from the Spotlight Accelerator?
The Spotlight Accelerator is a group cohort program — a structured, time-bounded experience designed to help you build your speaking pipeline alongside a small group of peers. The 1:1 consulting engagements are private, fully customized, and go deeper on strategy, deliverables, and implementation. If you're looking for a more personalized build with direct access to Sharí and her team, the 1:1 phases are the right fit. The Spotlight Accelerator runs periodically throughout the year — if that format interests you, you can join the waitlist.
