Ask for the Fee

Two women get invited to speak on the same stage, at the same conference, in front of the same audience. One walks away with a check, and the other never even thought to ask if there was one.

In this episode, Jen breaks down why so many women answer the budget question for themselves before an event organizer ever gets the chance. She unpacks the two mistakes hiding inside one simple question, "Is there a fee?", and shares the exact words to use the next time a speaking invitation lands in your inbox. Whether you're pitching a client or pitching yourself, this one sentence can change what you get paid.

➡️ Why booking a stage is a completely different skill set than landing a media hit

➡️ The word-for-word budget question to ask before you say yes to any speaking invite

➡️ What to ask for when the answer is "it's unpaid"

➡️ Why being grateful and getting paid are not opposites

Jen's homework for you this week is simple. Before you say yes, before you start picking out the outfit, ask what the budget is. Press play, steal the script, and go crush it.
