3 Ways to Get Rebooked by the Same Client

[Oh, hey! We have a small ask…If you like this newsletter, would you please like and share it with your wonderful friends? Thank you!]

Let’s be honest — finding new gigs is hard.

Like, “refresh your inbox for the 17th time” hard.

I’m a full-time speaker which means I am constantly on the hunt for more speaking gigs because, well, my kids like to eat breakfast. 😁

But you know what’s easier than getting new clients?

Getting booked again by the same client who’s already seen you crush it.

If you’re not turning one keynote into three, you’re leaving money — and momentum — on the table.

Here are 3 ways to turn that first standing ovation into a standing calendar invite.

---

1. Treat the Gig Like an Audition for the Next One

Most speakers pack up their clicker and disappear faster than confetti after a product launch.

Do. Not. Do. That.

✅ Stick around.

✅ Ask questions.

✅ Find out what’s next for their team.

✅ Eat the bad hors d’oeuvres.

Example:

“I loved how your team responded to the resilience framework. What are you focusing on next quarter?”

That’s not small talk — that’s business development in disguise. 🕵🏻‍♀️

2. Give Them a Post-Event Win

This is a huge one!

Everyone loves a speaker who makes their life easier after the applause dies down.

A week after your talk, send a short follow-up email:

• a recap of your key takeaways,

• one new idea to keep the momentum going,

• and a simple “If you ever want to go deeper on this, here’s a format that’s worked for other teams.”

You’re not selling — you’re serving.

Attach it.

Done.

3. Pitch a Sequel, Not a Repeat

When a company loves your talk, don’t offer to “do the same thing next year.”
That’s like asking someone to rewatch the movie when the sequel’s ready.

Instead, pitch the next level version of your message:

“Last year we talked about owning your role. What if this year we focused on owning your team?”

Same theme, new layer.

It shows growth — both yours and theirs.

And here’s the bonus: Once a client sees you as part of their long-term story, they start scheduling you before the fiscal year even begins.

The Takeaway

Stop chasing every shiny new conference on LinkedIn.

Your goldmine is already on your client list.

Be curious. Add value. Write the sequel.

And when you do — you won’t just get rebooked.

You’ll get remembered.
