Stage Backer works as your outreach team. We find paid speaking events that fit your message, write a pitch for every single one, and keep the conversations moving, so you can focus on delivering great talks.
You already know how to hold a room. The hard part is everything before it. Finding events that actually pay, tracking down the person who books speakers, writing a pitch that gets a reply, and following up again and again without letting anything slip.
Most speakers are left with three poor options. Wait to be discovered and hope. Hand your calendar to a bureau and give up a commission on every fee, often 20 to 35 percent. Or do all the outreach yourself, in the hours you should be spending on your talks and your clients.
Stage Backer gives you a fourth option. Your own outreach team, for one fixed fee.
Stage Backer is a done-for-you outreach service for professional speakers. We do the work an outreach team would do, and we hand you the result. Organisers who are interested and ready to talk with you.
Every campaign creates two kinds of value, and you get both.
When an organiser reads your pitch and responds with interest, we send them straight to you with the conversation summarised. Your only job is to reply, agree your fee and confirm the booking. Every dollar of that fee is yours.
Some organisers say "not this year" or book months ahead. Their calls for speakers, deadlines and contacts go into your tracker and deadline calendar, so next year's stages are lined up before your competitors even start looking.
Stage Backer is led by founder Joshua Jeremiah, working with a small, focused team. Every campaign has Joshua's eye on it, from the first event researched to the last organiser reply.
You always know who to talk to, and you always get a straight answer.

Can we do the 17th at 1PM (ET)? This week is a bit hectic for me. If that time works, please go ahead and send an invite.
I'd be happy to put something on the calendar for the mid-April timeframe.
