Meet Tim David

Tim David is a successful keynote speaker, former magician and coach to both established and aspiring speakers. He is known for creating memorable client experiences. A Talkadot user since December 2022, Tim balances keynotes with coaching, so efficiency matters. As he puts it, "Speakers don't want to chase. We want to be chosen. That's why you've got to put yourself in a position to be easily found."

The Challenge: Make Booking Frictionless

It's much easier to get booked when you're easy to book.

Tim takes on only a handful of speaking engagements each year. Getting matched with the right audience, then removing all booking friction, is the ideal scenario for a busy professional who loves to make an impact.

Became the Solution
How Talkadot Became the Solution

Tim completed his Talkadot Public Profile so his proof could do the talking. 

He added:

  • Video clips and photos that showed his stage presence and engagement
  • A clear, focused speaking topic with client-centric outcomes
  • Audience feedback captured through Talkadot post-event surveys
  • Ratings with similar professional audiences
  • Practical logistics, including location and formats, for fast vetting

When a Dental Leadership Retreat reached out to Talkadot to help them find the perfect keynote speaker to help their team maintain human connection in the age of AI, Tim’s background surfaced as a strong match. Matching was only half the work. Tim’s profile still needed to position Tim as the obvious choice. Because he had filled out every section, the profile checked every box. The planner could quickly see fit, credibility, and logistics in one place.

"When this opportunity came in, it was an obvious yes from me. Not only was it a paid gig that just fell into my lap (any speaker's dream,) but it was also a glove fit for my talk. Credit goes to Talkadot's matchmaking skills on this one." — Tim David

The Results: From Match to Money
  • Paid engagement without a single cold email
  • Faster planner decision, since everything lived in one verified Talkadot Public Profile
  • A short Zoom to confirm personality and chemistry, then a fast booking

The planner booked Tim’s program, “Super HUMAN, Radical Humanity for an Artificially Intelligent, Trust Starved World.” The fit was obvious because the profile made it obvious. Trust, adaptability, and human connection aligned with exactly what the audience needed.

I was already recommending Talkadot to just about every speaker I knew. Throw in this new matching program and it's practically a no-brainer.

Key Takeaways: Why This Works

  • All proof in one place reduced buyer friction
  • Buyer-ready messaging made the fit instantly clear
  • Real-time credibility came from Talkadot feedback and ratings with similar audiences
  • Matching that mattered surfaced Tim to a planner actively looking for his style and message
