Once you've found a promising lead in SpeakerDrive, the next step is reaching out. The Message Composer is your AI-powered assistant, designed to help you move past the "blank page" and craft effective, personalized messages.
The Core Purpose
The Message Composer helps you craft relevant messages designed to get responses and open doors. It's built to help you start genuine conversations. (For a deeper dive into our approach, see our article on SpeakerDrive's Philosophy On Email Outreach [INSERT LINK]).
Accessing the Composer
Using the Composer is straightforward:
- Navigate to the "Find Leads" section.
- Find an opportunity you're interested in.
- Unlock the lead (whether it's a Contact Email, Event Email, or Event URL).
- Click the "Generate Outreach" button. The Composer panel will slide out.
The Core Settings (Your Inputs)
Before generating, you'll set a few key inputs to guide the AI:
Choosing Your Channel (The Tabs): Select your outreach method: Email, LinkedIn, or Apply. The options shown depend on the type of lead you've unlocked. (For more details on which channels are available for each unlock type, see the "Guides by Unlock Type" section below).
My Profile (Bio & Experience): While you don't edit it here, your "My Profile" content is a fundamental input. The AI automatically pulls from your Bio & Experience to personalize messages from your perspective. (Learn more: Your Profile: Powering Personalized Outreach).
Voice Profile: Choose the style and tone you want the AI to adopt (SpeakerDrive default, pre-set, or your own custom profile). (Learn more: Voice Profiles: Defining Your Outreach Style.
Position Message For: Use this dropdown to select what you are offering or asking about (Keynote Speaking, Workshops, Coaching, etc.). This helps the AI focus the message's intent.
Generating and Acting on Your Message
Once your settings are ready:
The Generation Process: Click the green "Generate Outreach" button. The AI will think and synthesize everything—the lead's details, your profile, and your chosen settings—to create personalized outreach options.
Reviewing & Editing: The Composer will produce three distinct message variations.
• Use the toggle arrows (left and right) to switch between these options
• Found one you like? You can edit it directly within the large editor window to add your final touches and perfect the wording
Taking Action (Sending & Saving):
• Send via Gmail: If you've connected your Gmail account, you can send your edited message directly from SpeakerDrive
• Send To...: Use our webhook integrations to push the message content to your preferred CRM or Email Marketing platform
• Copy: Click to copy the message text to your clipboard, ready to paste anywhere
• Save: Store this message variation for potential future use
