The password is: there is no password
No gatekeepers.
No fees.
Just stages.
The speaker industry built a velvet rope and charged both sides to stand behind it. Bureaus take up to 30% of every deal, slow bookings to a crawl, and decide who gets seen based on relationships instead of results. SPEAKEASY kicks the door open. Speakers and clients connect directly and book at the speed of a phone call.
The Bureau Way
- ✕ 25–30% commission carved out of every deal
- ✕ Speakers pay to be listed, then wait to be chosen
- ✕ Weeks of middlemen between “interested” and “booked”
- ✕ Gatekeeping by relationship, not by results
The SPEAKEASY Way
- ◆ Zero fees for speakers. Zero fees for clients. Zero commissions.
- ◆ Direct contact — we never sit in the middle of your deal
- ◆ Book at the speed of a phone call
- ◆ The only currency is what you deliver to an audience
Six Questions. That's the whole game.
Every speaker on SPEAKEASY answers the same six questions: who they serve, who they move, what they talk about, why it matters, what they charge, and how fast they book. Clients answer the mirror of those six. Our match engine connects the answers — and only the answers.
Built blind, on purpose.
SPEAKEASY collects zero demographic data. No gender field, no race field, no age field — anywhere in the system. Matching and ranking run exclusively on your six answers, your topics, your fees, your speed, and your logistics. Never on your name, your face, or anything either implies. Quality is the only door key.
