90-day implementation sprint
Random stages create
random sales.
A path creates
predictable ones.
In 90 days you will have 30 specific gigs to apply for, the system to turn those rooms into revenue, and Dannella in your pocket every day while you do it.
THE PROBLEM
Applause is not a business model.
You have spoken. Maybe a lot. You have the photos, the thank-you notes, the kind words in the hallway afterward. What you do not have is a reliable line from the stage to the sale.
That is not a speaking problem. Speaking has a strategy. Talk is cheap. What is missing is a system, and it breaks in three specific places.
THE THREE GAPS
Three gaps sit between the stage and the sale.
Close them in order. That is the whole method, and it is what the next 90 days are built around.
01
The Opportunity Gap
You cannot profit from stages you are not on.
Most experts do not have a speaking problem. They have an opportunity pipeline problem. The best room is rarely the biggest room.
02
The Readiness Gap
Getting booked does not mean you are ready to turn the room into business.
Know the business objective before you take the stage. Match the message to the room. Practise conversion, not presentation.
03
The Execution Gap
Knowing the strategy does not create profit. Executing it repeatedly does.
Find, apply, prepare, speak, convert, follow up, improve, repeat. This is the widest gap of the three.
THE TURN
This is a sprint, not a course.
Ninety days on a dated calendar. Real rooms on a real list. And the two people who built this working alongside you every week while you actually do it.
WHAT IS INCLUDED
Everything in the 90 days.
Each piece closes one of the three gaps. Nothing here is a recording you watch alone.
Opportunity
Your hidden-audience report
A curated report of the rooms your ideal buyer is already sitting in. The best room is rarely the biggest room.
Opportunity
30 specific gigs
Not a database to go searching in. A concierge-pulled list of named opportunities you qualify for right now. You complete the applications, we pull the list.
Readiness
Speaker one-sheet and lead magnet training
Monday Sept 15. The two assets bookers ask for that most speakers do not have ready.
Readiness
Weekly practice lab
Mondays 3p-5p Eastern, starting Sept 21. Practise conversion, not presentation.
Execution
Weekly implementation session
Thursdays 2p-4p Eastern, starting Sept 17. Open working time. You fill applications out live and get unstuck on the spot.
Execution
Marco Polo access to
Dannella and JoAnn
Ask the question the day you hit it, not the following Thursday. Runs the full 90 days.
Bonus
VIP ticket to the
Authority Event
Included. A room full of the people you have been trying to get in a room with.
Bonus
End-of-sprint integration call
One to one with Dannella and JoAnn at the end of the 90 days. What worked, what is next, what to charge.

THE ROOM YOU ARE JOINING
These are not stock photos.
Every image on this page is a real Authority Agency room. Real speakers, real stages, real working sessions.
A working session. Not a webinar you watch.
The community you are stepping into.
"After joining Speakers Need to Speak, I got booked on a very large stage. And that led to me getting booked on 4 stages and 2 podcasts in less than 90 days! Imagine what's possible with 365 applications per year!"
"Dannella's dedication to her clients is unmatched. She is highly skilled, pays attention to every detail, and knows what needs to happen by when."
WHO YOU WORK WITH
Dannella Burnett
Dannella runs Encore Elite Events and The Authority Agency. She runs Speak-A-Palooza roughly three times a year, where hundreds of speakers take the stage and get scored by the room. She built the Authority Accelerator, the Authority Event, and the Sell to Speak and Scale mastermind.
Her own talk is called The Hidden Revenue in Your Authority. That is the whole thesis. The revenue is already sitting in the expertise you have. The gap is the path to it.
We no longer want you to be the world's best-kept secret.
THE OFFER
Everything, in one box.

This is the only 90-day, done-with-you version of that path, and it is open for four days.
FIT
This is not for everybody.
Ninety days is short. We would rather you read this and self-select out than join and stall.
This is for you if
- You have real expertise and an offer already, and speaking has produced more applause than clients
- You will do the work inside the sessions, not just attend them
- You want the rooms found for you, and you are willing to fill out your own applications
- You can hold two hours on Thursdays and two on Mondays for the next 90 days
- You want an answer the day you are stuck, not at the next quarterly call
This is not for you if
- You want someone to apply, book, and speak on your behalf
- You do not have an offer yet to sell from the stage
- You are collecting programs rather than finishing one
- You want a guarantee that specific bookers will say yes
- The next 90 days are already full and something would have to give
STRAIGHT TALK
What we will not promise you.
There is no guarantee attached to this, and you should be careful with anyone in this industry who offers you one.
We do not control whether a booker says yes to your application. We do not control what happens in the room once you are standing in it. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you certainty they cannot deliver.
Here is what we do control, and what we commit to.
- The 30 gigs are real, named, and matched to you. Not a database login and good luck.
- The sessions run on the dates above whether five people show up or fifty.
- Marco Polo gets answered for the full 90 days, by Dannella and JoAnn, not by an assistant.
- You finish with your one-sheet built, your lead magnet built, and your applications actually submitted.
The work is yours. The path, the rooms, and the people are ours.
QUESTIONS
The things people ask before they say yes.
Do you apply to the gigs for me?
No, and that is deliberate. We pull the curated list of opportunities you actually qualify for, and you complete the applications during the Thursday session with us in the room. Bookers can tell when an application was not written by the speaker.
What exactly is Marco Polo?
A video messaging app. You record your question the moment you hit it and Dannella and JoAnn answer you on video. It is the closest thing to having both of them on call for 90 days.
What if I have never spoken on a stage?
The practice lab is where you start and the one-sheet training gives you the assets to apply with. You will be applying inside the first 60 days either way. What you do need already is expertise and something to sell.
Is this the same as Get Gigs 365?
No. Get Gigs 365 is a year of SpeakerUnity service. This is 90 days of implementation with Dannella and JoAnn in the room with you every week.
When does it start?
The 90-day Sprint officially begins October 1, with weekly implementation sessions on Thursdays from 2–4 PM Eastern and weekly practice labs on Mondays from 3–5 PM Eastern.
What if I cannot make a session?
Come to the ones you can. These are working sessions rather than lectures, so the values in being in the room and using the time.
Can I pay over time?
Yes. $2,500 paid in full, or a three-payment plan.
What happens when the 90 days end?
You finish with a one-to-one integration call with Dannella and JoAnn to work out what worked, what is next, and what to charge. Where you go from there is a separate conversation.
LAST CALL
The next 90 days are going to pass either way.
You can spend them the way you spent the last 90. Or you can spend them with 30 named rooms, a calendar that is already set, and two people who have done this a few hundred times sitting on the other side of the screen.
Random stages create random sales. A path creates predictable ones.
P.S: Enrollment closed Thursday, Sept 18. After that this comes back as a six-month commitment at a higher price. If you are on the fence, the question is not really whether you can afford it. It is whether you want to be having this exact same conversation in January.

Sprint to the Stage is a 90-day implementation program. Results depend on the work you do and the decisions of the organizations you apply to. No specific outcome is guaranteed.
