What problem does it solve? Writing a cold invitation to a shortlisted speaker is where most conference programs stall: the message hides the budget, bumps the thread without new information, or invents a fee benchmark under pressure. This Skill turns a sourcing shortlist into a drafted invitation, a follow-up cadence, and a written confirmation or recorded decline. ## Core Features & Use Cases - First-invitation drafting: Enforces a disclosure checklist covering event basics, how you found the candidate, the specific angle from the shortlist's evidence, honest budget terms, the answer deadline, and a no-links-or-attachments rule that survives corporate phishing filters. - Channel, personalization, and cadence menus: Ranks first-touch channels (referrer intro, direct email, published DM, in-person ask), personalization depth tiered by Hot/Warm/Cold score, and follow-up cadences where every touch carries a new angle instead of a bump. - Fee and conditions conversation: Answers fee requests from your own budget line without inventing a market rate, trades from a pre-fixed concession list, and closes the loop with a same-day written confirmation or a recorded decline with referral ask. - Use Case: Your shortlist's top keynote candidate can be offered travel but no fee. The Skill drafts a roughly 150-word invitation opening on her recent talk, stating the budget plainly, naming the answer date, and closing with a dated next step. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to write the invitation email to your top shortlisted speaker, stating what the budget covers and the date you need an answer by.
