Do I need to be tech-savvy to use this?+
Not at all. If you can fill in a form and click a button, you can use the Booking Strategist Agent. Fill in your profile once, click search and your results appear in about 40 seconds. The hardest part is deciding which opportunity to pitch first.
How is this different from just using ChatGPT?+
ChatGPT is a general tool with no knowledge of what booking coordinators actually look for, what pitches work, or what stages are worth your time. The Booking Strategist Agent is purpose-built for speakers — it searches live, scores fit, writes pitches and generates proposals based on 24 years of real booking expertise. You cannot replicate this with a free AI tool.
Are the opportunities real and current?+
The agent searches the web live every time you run a session — it is not pulling from a static database. It is instructed to only return opportunities with current, open submission deadlines. The Live Scout feature lets you double-check any result in real time before you apply.
What happens after I purchase?+
After purchase you will be directed to create an account to access the Booking Strategist Agent. Fill in your speaker profile and run your first session in minutes. No downloads, no installations — it runs entirely in your browser.
Is this the same as the Charli Jane Speakers Club?+
If you are already a Charli Jane Speakers Club member, this tool is included as a benefit inside your membership — please do not purchase it separately. If you are not a Club member, the Booking Strategist Agent is a completely standalone tool. No membership required.
What if the leads aren't a good fit for me?+
The agent matches opportunities specifically to your topics, audience, experience level and industry preferences — so results are tailored to you, not generic. The more specific your profile, the stronger your matches. If a lead turns out to be expired, the built-in Live Scout feature lets you verify it in real time, and the session refund button gives you your session back. You are never stuck with an expired lead.
How many sessions do I actually get — and is that enough?+
You get 16 Lead Discovery Sessions per month — each one surfaces 4 matched opportunities, giving you up to 64 opportunities discovered every single month. Over the course of your annual membership that is up to 768 matched speaking opportunities. Most speakers find that 16 sessions is more than enough to keep a full, healthy pipeline. And every result saves automatically to your Vault, so nothing gets lost between sessions.
Is this replacing a real booking agent or speaker bureau?+
No — and it's not trying to. Traditional booking agents work on commission and typically only take on established speakers. The Booking Strategist Agent puts the power of proactive lead discovery in your hands, at a fraction of the cost. Think of it as your own personal booking intelligence system — one that works around the clock so you always have a pipeline of opportunities to pitch.
What if I'm still building my speaking business and not quite ready?+
This tool is actually perfect for speakers who are building — because it tells you exactly where to pitch, how to position yourself, and what to say. The AI Match Intelligence scores your fit so you know which opportunities are realistic right now versus stretch goals. The Speaker Profile Card gets your materials organized. And the Proposal Writer handles the heavy lifting. You don't need to be established to start getting booked — you just need to start.
Can I cancel my subscription?+
The Booking Strategist Agent is billed annually at $397/year. To cancel your renewal, simply email us at support@charlijane.com and we will take care of it — your access continues through the end of your billing period. We don't offer refunds on annual subscriptions, but we do stand behind the tool. If you ever have an issue, reach out and we will make it right.
Will I see the same opportunities every time I run a session?+
No. The agent searches the web live each session and is specifically instructed to avoid repeating opportunities you've already seen. It rotates through your selected industries so each session surfaces fresh, different leads. Your search history is tracked automatically so you keep building a diverse pipeline — not seeing the same events over and over.
