We learn your program, craft your email campaigns, and send them to targeted planner lists on your behalf. You get two things back: leads who want to talk now, and leads to nurture in your CRM. No commission on your fee. Ever.
You already know how to command a room. The hard part is the hundred hours a year of prospecting it takes to get into that room: finding the right events, finding the person who books speakers, writing outreach that gets answered, and following up five to twelve times without losing the thread.
Until now the options were bad. Hand your calendar to a bureau and give up a commission on every fee, typically 25 to 30 percent, forever. Buy a scraped list and become spam. Or do it all yourself, in the hours you should be spending on your craft and your clients.

Diamond Concierge is a done-for-you program. We do the work a sales team would do, and we hand you the result: interested people, ready for a conversation with you.
Diamond is open to all professional speakers, but not every speaker is ready for it. We review your program, your website, and your marketing materials, then tell you honestly whether outreach at this level will work for you right now. If it will not, we tell you exactly what to fix. Speakers have taken that coaching, made the changes, come back, and are now seeing superb results in the program.
We learn you: your speech, your positioning, your proof, the industries where your message lands, and the audiences who pay to hear it. This is the raw material for everything we send, which is why we do not rush it.
We craft an extensive email marketing campaign around your program and assemble the targeted lists of planners and decision-makers who should hear about it. It takes 30 to 45 days to get your campaigns up and running, which is exactly why your first month of the program costs one dollar. We do not bill you full rate for a month spent building.
Every campaign goes out under your name, on a cadence our team controls. Planners are never flooded, because we manage every send that touches them. Your reputation with decision-makers is the asset we protect most carefully.
We send you the leads who are interested in talking with you now, and the leads you should add to your CRM for nurture. You only ever spend time on people who already know who you are and want to hear more.
Every campaign produces two kinds of value, and you get both.
Leads go straight to you. If a planner or executive has read about your program from our marketing efforts and replied that they're interested, we send the lead right to you. Your only job is to respond, run the call, and close the booking. Every dollar of the fee is yours.
Contacts who opened, clicked, or showed interest without replying yet. We send them to you to add to your CRM and nurture over time. Booking cycles in this industry run long; this stream is where next year's calendar comes from.
While we run your outreach, you get full and unlimited access to the Diamond Intel Engine, with every feature of the Speaker Intel Engine inside. Same tools working speakers use daily to find gigs, prep calls, and close business.

Type any working speaker's name and see every conference where they appeared on stage.

Not ready for concierge? The base Speaker Intel Engine is a great place to start, and everything you learn there carries straight into Diamond when you are. Details at speakerintelengine.com.
Event booking cycles run six months or more. Any outreach program promising bookings in week two is lying to you. Here is what the first year actually looks like, and why the program is priced the way it is.
This is why the minimum commitment is three months, and why we tell every applicant to think in six-month terms. We would rather set an honest expectation than collect a payment from a speaker who quits before the math has a chance to work.
| Diamond Concierge | Speakers Bureau | List Vendor | You with a VA | Do It Yourself | |

| Who owns the relationship | You. Every lead is delivered to you | The bureau holds the planner relationship | Nobody. It is a cold file | You, if the outreach lands | You, when you find them |
| Planner experience | Managed cadence, relevant message | Professional, but bureau-led | Spam. And planners remember | Depends on the VA's email marketing skill; few specialize in the speaking business | Depends on your bandwidth |
| Also includes | Full Intel Engine + Diamond databases | Representation only | The file only | Whatever tools you hand them | Whatever tools you buy |

Bureaus are not the enemy; many Diamond members still take bureau bookings happily. The difference is that a bureau takes a percentage of every fee it touches, forever. Diamond is a flat rate, no matter how much you book.
And if you have a VA, keep them. A great VA is worth their weight in gold, but speaker email marketing is a specialty, and our team brings a combined 80+ years in the speaking business to every campaign we send. The highest and best use of your VA's hours is everything Diamond hands back to them: following up with the leads we deliver, managing your calendar, and running the parts of your business only they can run. We do the outreach. They do everything it unlocks.
Book one engagement or twenty. Your price never changes, and we never take a cut.
New to Diamond? Start with a fit interview. If we do not believe the program will work for you yet, we will tell you, and tell you exactly what to fix first.
There is no fee minimum and no invitation required anymore. What there is: an honest review. We look at your program, your website, and your marketing materials, and we tell you whether Diamond will pay off for you right now.
If the answer is not yet, you leave with specific coaching on what to change. Speakers have taken that advice, made the modifications, returned, and are now seeing superb results in the program. We would rather earn your membership in six months than waste your money today.

Interviewed and ready? Your first payment today is $1. The $1,000 setup fee is billed separately, and your regular $1,500 monthly billing begins on day 30.
Join Today →Diamond Concierge is designed for professional speakers who want a consistent flow of new opportunities without personally managing outbound prospecting. Members with strong positioning, professional marketing assets, and a proven ability to close engagements see the fastest results, and the fit interview is where we determine that together.
Diamond Concierge is a done-for-you outbound prospecting service layered on top of full Diamond Engine access. You receive unlimited access to the Diamond Engine platform plus a dedicated concierge team that handles list building, outreach strategy, email sequencing, automation, and ongoing execution on your behalf. We generate the qualified leads; you close the deals.
The program is $1,500 per month plus a one-time $1,000 Concierge setup fee, billed separately. Your first payment at checkout is just $1, because we spend the first 30 to 45 days building your campaigns rather than billing you full rate. Regular $1,500 monthly billing begins on day 30, with a three-month minimum commitment.
The program is open to all professional speakers. There is no fee minimum and no invitation required. Every applicant goes through a fit interview: we review your program, your website, and your marketing materials, and we tell you honestly whether the program will be successful for you right now.
We tell you exactly what you need to do first, with specific coaching on your program, positioning, and materials. Speakers have taken that coaching, made the suggested modifications, come back, and are now seeing superb results in the program. An honest no today is worth more to you than a wasted membership.
Acceptance is based on speaker experience, the quality of your marketing materials, and overall fit for a partnership-based program, never on topic exclusivity or a fee minimum. We also manage total capacity so we can properly support each member and deliver a high standard of outreach execution.
Yes. Each referral is reviewed individually through the same fit interview, and acceptance is based on speaker quality, experience, and available capacity within the program.
Because Diamond Concierge includes done-for-you outreach using proprietary databases, we strictly limit capacity to maintain deliverability, relevance, and effectiveness. This is not a mass-marketing system. It also protects the event planners in our database from receiving too many messages. Their job is to find great speakers, and since the Diamond program only contains great speakers, we are doing part of their job for them too.
Onboarding is a collaborative process designed to ensure outreach is accurate, authentic, and aligned with your positioning. We take time to understand your topics, experience, marketing assets, ideal audiences, and speaking goals. This allows us to create messaging that sounds like you, not a generic campaign.
We create a dedicated sending domain and email address specifically for your outreach, configure it correctly, and warm it up to ensure proper deliverability. Each month, our team researches and emails qualified prospects on your behalf using professional, personalized messaging designed to start real conversations.
Yes. All messaging is written in your voice and sent from a domain created specifically for you. Outreach is personalized, professional, and relevant, never mass-blasted or generic. The goal is to create authentic conversations, not automated noise.
All outreach is sent from your dedicated email address, and responses go directly to you. When a planner or decision-maker expresses interest, you take over the conversation to qualify, negotiate, and close the opportunity. We also send you the engaged contacts who have not replied yet, so you can add them to your CRM and nurture them over time.
Outreach is focused on conferences, associations, corporations, and organizations that hire and pay professional speakers. Targeting is refined based on your experience, positioning, and preferences to ensure relevance and quality conversations.
No. Diamond Concierge does not take commissions, success fees, or percentages of any business you book. You keep 100 percent of the revenue from any speaking engagement generated through the program.
Very little. After onboarding and messaging alignment, our team manages the research, list creation, email sequencing, automation, and follow-up. You step in when a decision-maker responds with interest and a real opportunity to explore.
Because it takes 30 to 45 days to get your email campaigns up and running, and we do not think you should pay full rate while we build. Your first payment at checkout is $1. The $1,000 setup fee is billed separately. Your regular $1,500 monthly billing begins on day 30.
Setup begins immediately following your initial call, which you can schedule whenever your time allows. This includes domain creation, deliverability setup, email warm-up, and messaging alignment. Outreach typically begins once the technical foundation and campaign strategy are fully prepared, usually within 30 to 45 days.
Plan on six months or more before bookings land, because that is how event hiring timeframes actually work. Replies and pipeline leads typically start earlier, once campaigns are sending. The three-month minimum exists because anything shorter would not give the program a fair chance, and we would rather turn you away than set a false expectation.
Absolutely, and you should. You retain full access to the Diamond Engine and all its tools at all times. Many members use the platform to prepare for calls, research prospects, or pursue additional opportunities independently while the concierge team manages consistent outbound outreach.
Yes. Members retain full access to the Diamond Engine's list-building and research capabilities, including the proprietary databases of 30,000+ conferences and 40,000+ decision-makers with email addresses. In addition, our team handles list creation and outreach execution for you as part of the concierge service.
As with any data-driven system, absolute accuracy cannot be guaranteed. However, we continuously verify and update our proprietary databases, and members can reasonably expect that a significant majority of contact information is accurate and usable, with improvements made weekly. And because the Diamond Concierge team is emailing on your behalf, we manage all bounce-backs and unsubscribes for you.
Conference data spans multiple years, since conferences often recur annually or biennially, and we add around 500 new leads to the database every month. AI-powered research features pull from the most current publicly available sources online.
Diamond Concierge is not virtual assistance or generic lead generation. It is a specialized outbound system designed specifically for professional speakers. Our team combines proprietary data, proven messaging frameworks, deliverability expertise, and AI-powered research to execute outreach at a level most internal teams or assistants are not equipped to handle. If you have a VA, the best use of their hours is following up with the leads we deliver and the higher-value work only they can do for you.
No. Your membership includes access to all current and future Diamond Engine features. As long as you remain an active member, you will continue to receive updates and enhancements without additional charge.
There is no long-term contract. There is a three-month commitment so your concierge team can conduct your research and begin your outreach; after that, Diamond Concierge is month to month and you may cancel at any time. Once canceled, future monthly payments stop and concierge services conclude at the end of the current billing period.
No. You are not purchasing the data; you are licensing it while you remain a paying member. If you cancel your Diamond Concierge membership, you agree to immediately delete all lists, documents, and other information you downloaded or used while part of the program.
You can find the Diamond Concierge Program Terms, Conditions, and Privacy Policy at diamondspeaker.com/diamond-terms. By joining the program, you automatically agree to these Terms and Policies.
