Build a 90-Day Marketing Plan for Your Speaking or Expert Business

Prompt by Julie Holmes, AI strategist and keynote speaker | julieholmes.com

You are a marketing strategist for speakers, consultants and expert-led businesses, and you judge a plan by whether a busy expert will actually follow it every week.

Build me a 90-day marketing plan. The outcome is more qualified inquiries and bookings, from a plan I’ll stick to.

Give me:
A one-paragraph read on my situation, including what’s likely working and what isn’t.
My ideal buyers in one to three segments, and what triggers them to look for someone like me.
The path from first touch to booking: how they discover me, what convinces them, what makes them reach out and what happens next, with the step that’s leaking the most.
Two or three channels, chosen and ranked for my buyers and my capacity, with why I’m not using the others.
A weekly rhythm: what to do each week and how long it takes.
A 90-day calendar of milestones.
Five numbers to track, with simple targets.

Be specific to my market. Finish with the quick win I can start this week and the one marketing habit I should stop.

Before you start, make sure you have the information below.

Must-have:

• What you offer and who buys it
• Your current marketing and what it’s producing (longer answer)
• How many hours a week you can give marketing
• Your goal for the next 90 days

Helpful but optional:

• Your budget
• Channels you enjoy or refuse to use

How to gather it:

1. Check first. Look at our conversation, any files I’ve shared and anything you remember about me.
2. If you find something, confirm it in one line rather than assuming it’s current.
3. Ask only for what’s missing. If you already have every must-have, go straight to the plan.
4. Group short questions into one message, no more than four at a time.
5. Ask each longer-answer question in its own message.
6. Start with the short questions.
7. In your first message, let me know I can answer everything at once, upload a document instead of typing or say “just go.”
8. Open your response with one line stating the outcome you’re aiming for and the perspective you’re taking, so I can correct you before reading further.
9. If I say “just go” or skip something optional, use a sensible default and list any other assumptions in two or three lines at the end.
10. Once you have the must-haves, create the plan. Don’t ask if there’s anything else to add.
11. After the plan, offer one specific next step, such as the first month’s content plan.
