Your Speaker Drive profile isn't just another online bio—it's the engine that powers your personalized outreach. Let's get it set up right.
The Initial Setup
When you first join Speaker Drive, something cool happens: we do the heavy lifting for you. After you share some basic info during sign-up, our system researches your background and creates a detailed professional profile. Think of it as your first draft—comprehensive, but ready for your personal touch.
What's In Your Profile
Your profile includes:
- Your name and professional photo
- Your primary service (keynote speaking, workshops, coaching, etc.)
- Your website link
- Professional details—this is the big one
The "Professional Details" section is particularly important because it serves as your "My Context" in the outreach composer. When you're reaching out to potential clients, this information helps craft messages that highlight your most relevant experience and expertise.
Why Your Profile Matters
Your profile does double duty in Speaker Drive:
- It guides the AI composer when creating outreach messages. When you're pitching a leadership conference, for instance, the system can pull relevant leadership experience from your profile.
- It sets your default settings in the composer. Your primary service becomes your default "I'm Pitching" option (though you can always change this for specific opportunities).
Making It Work For You
A few tips to maximize your profile's effectiveness:
- Be specific about your expertise areas
- Include relevant industry experience
- Mention notable past events or clients
- Highlight specific results or transformations you've created
- Add any unique methodologies or approaches you use
Remember: while the AI helps create your initial profile, you can (and should) update it anytime. As you gain more experience or shift your focus, your profile should evolve too.
The Profile in Action
Here's what happens when you're using Speaker Drive:
- You find an interesting opportunity
- You click "Generate Outreach"
- The composer pulls in your profile details
- The AI crafts personalized messages based on your background
- You get outreach options that connect your experience with the opportunity
Think of your profile as your personal storyteller—helping the platform understand what makes you unique and why you're the right fit for each opportunity.
