Basic Email Outline For Contacting Potential Speakers I will not be providing a full template as I have found in the past that it prevents members from developing their own abilities to craft their own emails (which is an important skill). However, I will provide an outline. Here are the things that you should address when contacting a potential speaker / partner: -Mention that you saw their product and thought that it would be a perfect match for a project you are working on. -Compliment them for being an expert in their area. -Request an interview - tell them it will only take about an hour of their time -Offer to give them a copy of the interview and the transcript along with full rights to do whatever they want with it. -Tell them that you will be promoting their product in the interview as well as the download page AND your auto-responder (i.e. you will promote it forever) -Tell them that you also already have several partners lined up to promote, one of them being Matthew Glanfield.
