Booking Materials Review
Your Materials Open Doors — or Close Them.
Before an event organizer ever hears you speak, they read your one-sheet, watch your reel, and scan your bio. CSCTN helps members develop and refine the booking materials that make a lasting first impression.
Why Your Booking Materials Matter
Event organizers receive dozens — sometimes hundreds — of speaker submissions for a single event. Your booking materials are your first audition. A polished, professional package signals that you take your calling seriously and that you are ready for the platform.
- Event organizers decide within 60 seconds whether to keep reading your materials or move on.
- A professional media kit can increase your booking rate by positioning you as an established authority.
- Inconsistent or outdated materials — mismatched photos, old bios, broken links — signal unpreparedness.
- Your speaker reel is the single most important piece of your booking package. Most speakers don't have one.
What Your Booking Package Should Include
Speaker One-Sheet
RequiredA single-page PDF that captures your photo, bio, speaking topics, testimonials, and contact information. The standard document event organizers expect.
Speaker Reel
RequiredA 2–4 minute highlight video showing you on stage, connecting with an audience, and delivering your message with impact. Non-negotiable for serious bookings.
Professional Bio
RequiredA 150-word and 300-word version of your bio, written in third person, that communicates your credentials, calling, and the transformation you deliver.
Professional Headshot
RequiredA high-resolution, professionally lit headshot on a clean background. Event organizers use this in programs, websites, and promotional materials.
Testimonials & Endorsements
3–5 strong testimonials from event organizers, pastors, or clients who can speak to the impact of your work. Social proof is a booking accelerator.
Topic Descriptions
1–2 paragraph descriptions of each of your signature topics, written to help event organizers understand the outcome their audience will experience.
Past Engagements List
A curated list of notable past speaking engagements, conferences, churches, or organizations you have served. Builds credibility at a glance.
Published Works & Media
Books, courses, podcasts, articles, and media appearances that demonstrate your expertise and expand your reach beyond the stage.
