How To Unlock Leads

SpeakerDrive gives you two powerful ways to land gigs—go direct to decision-makers or connect through event channels.

Blue = Contacts (The People) These are the actual humans who book speakers:

• Event planners at major corporations

• HR leaders building training programs

• Conference directors with speaker budgets

When you unlock a contact, you get their verified professional email (like jane.smith@company.com).

Green = Events (The Opportunities) These are the actual speaking opportunities:

• Annual conferences

• Corporate training programs

• Industry summits and workshops

When you unlock an event, you get event-specific emails (like speakers@conference.com or events@company.com).

How to Unlock Opportunities

Three ways to reveal contact info:

1. Quick unlock - Hit the unlock button right from the main list

2. Bulk unlock - Check multiple boxes, then unlock them all at once with the top button

3. Research first - Click the gray "Open" button to see full details before unlocking

Each lead detail page is packed with intel—event descriptions, organization info, past speakers, fee estimates—everything you need to decide if it's worth pursuing.

Pro tip: Not sure whether to go after contacts or events? Start with contacts—building relationships with decision-makers leads to multiple bookings over time.
