Setting up Talkadot is faster than making a cup of coffee – under 5 minutes! Just add the Talkadot slide to your deck, and you're done. Our tool handles feedback collection, organization, and lead follow-up automatically. Easy and efficient. Also, our team and our amazing community are standing by, ready to support you, so you are not alone. :)

Absolutely. While direct pitches can alienate your audience, Talkadot gathers feedback that's valuable to organizers and identifies leads without the hard sell. Our surveys adjust based on responses, ensuring everyone gets a tailored experience. You get the leads you want without the awkwardness.

Absolutely not! Your opt-ins are your opt-in emails. We’re here to support speakers, and using your opt-in emails would be among the fastest ways we can think of to erode trust.

Paper surveys are a logistical nightmare: printing, handing out, collecting, deciphering handwriting, and data entry. Talkadot turns this entire, error-prone process into a simple two-minute digital operation. Upgrade to Talkadot for efficiency and accuracy.

Using your own surveys might seem straightforward, but they lack third-party credibility. Ever compared a restaurant review on their own site to one on Yelp? That’s the difference. Talkadot does not allow speakers to edit or delete feedback from the audience unless the feedback violates our terms of service, so your event hosts can know this is what your audience actually thought. Our aim is to be the Trustpilot of speakers. Talkadot offers a platform with integrity, presenting feedback that’s as trustworthy as it gets. With other tools, you will need to create and prepare a new feedback flow every single time you want to collect feedback, after which you will still need to format your data each into an easily readable form that is shareable with your event hosts. With Talkadot, your data is ready to share the moment it comes in. You’ll also benefit from our constant efforts to optimize our question flow based on seeing tens of thousands of events and attendee feedback collected. Not convinced?

Talkadot prioritizes audience privacy and offers full control over data sharing. Audience members can choose to share feedback with you directly or remain anonymous, based on your settings. Beyond respecting privacy, Talkadot helps foster meaningful connections by making it easy to keep in touch with those who want to engage with your content, helping you grow a supportive, lasting relationship with your audience in a way that feels genuine and non-intrusive.

Talkadot is an audience feedback tool that lets you generate actionable feedback and collect speaking leads to grow your business. Talkadot collects testimonials, creates real-time reports, and captures people in the audience who want to book you -- so that you can put your attention to shining on stage! ​ Use this data to rebook, or land new speaking engagements! 🙂

That pile of business cards might feel like a trophy, but think about the next steps: digitizing them, adding to your CRM, dealing with potential errors... sound fun? Probably not. And let’s be real, how many forgotten stacks are gathering dust in your office? Talkadot simplifies this process, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in just two minutes. Why settle for less?

We will never buy, sell, or use your data without your permission. We may use anonymized data to generate aggregate industry reports, or to improve the quality of our Talkadot questions, but your personal data is not shared.

Talkadot is used by speakers at all stages of their speaking journey. If you are just getting started, Talkadot Lite is the tool built for you,. If you have been booking some speaking engagements but you want to speak more, Talkadot Pro is for you. If you are a seasoned speaker that is already booking a lot of talks, Talkadot Elite is what you should use. Talkadot is used by top speakers, including Hall of Famers and CSPs, precisely because it streamlines securing the next gig. It captures audience feedback and leads efficiently, providing solid data and social proof to showcase your impact. It's an essential tool for speakers at any level.

Share them with your client or speaker's bureau promptly. Immediate feedback makes you more referable and increases the chances of being rebooked. Use the "land and expand" strategy: Share your success with similar organizations. If you impressed one state association, why not show another state what you can do for them? It's a straightforward way to widen your speaking engagements. Market yourself easily and effectively. We have optimized all the Talkadot reports for social sharing so you can share your glowing feedback anywhere you want. Show your value. Send our detailed event report to your host so they can see objectively how well you’ve done. Because one of the questions asked is how many attendees want to see you speak again, we’ve found this Talkadot report to be a great conversation starter (and proof) for rebooking that next speaking engagement! Land new contacts. Is an event planner in your audience interested in booking you for future events? Our feedback gives your audience the ability to start that conversation so you can start booking more engagements easily. Finally, use Talkadot for personal development. The responses produced in the report are raw, unfiltered responses from the attendee. Use this to identify areas of strengths and points of improvement.

To download your opt-in list, you'll want to access your My Leads page in the top right-hand corner of your Talkadot dashboard. Your My Leads page will display the interested leads who answered they're interested in booking you, referring you, and who wanted to opt-in to receive newsletters and updates from you. You'll be able to download your opt-ins by clicking the Download Leads button that's located on the right-hand side of your My Leads page. We know speakers use a variety of CRM programs, and by allowing you to download your opt-ins to a CSV file, you can upload them to any CRM software that you're using.

Your Talkadot code is a ready-made image that is designed to be inserted as the last slide of your presentation. It contains all of your contact information, as well as the feedback url and QR code to request feedback. We wanted to make the process of obtaining feedback as seamless as possible. As part of your sign-up process, we will prompt you for information that will be used to build the slide. After you create your account, you'll want to create your very first Talkadot code and bonus. A bonus is an item such as a PDF, copy of your presentation slides, a video, an MP3, or even a webpage. This bonus item will be given to your attendees at the end of your talk as a thank you for completing your Talkadot feedback tool. Once you’ve got your Talkadot code and slide, simply download the slide and insert that into your presentation. Don’t want to use our Talkadot slide? Simply download your Talkadot QR code or share your customized Talkadot link and collect feedback that way instead. We've even had speakers who have added their QR codes to fliers and poster boards to capture feedback.

At this time, Talkadot social reports and event reports are standardized. Event Planners have told us they like knowing they are seeing a Talkadot report, as they see us as a trustworthy source, comprising actual unfiltered feedback collected from the audience, and not simply a curated best-of list.

Any combination of booking, referral , and email addresses will count towards the 50 limit. Instead of setting a low booking or referral opt-in limit, we wanted to give you the most flexibility in seeing what kind of data you capture with your audience! Any user only counts once toward the email limit!

Of course, if someone takes to your Talkadot after your speaking engagement, you'll still capture all of their feedback! We know that some speakers will have their presentation and then their session is recorded. As the recording is displayed, anyone watching the recording can still complete your Talkadot. We want you to capture every opt-in, response, lead, and the most data possible!

When you complete a talk, your audience has the ability to raise their hand to tell you they are interested in staying in touch or booking you. We’re consistently working to help you filter the quality of your leads so you know who to spend more time with and who to run through more standard follow-up funnels. We now run your leads through a proprietary AI data validation and scoring system to better identify true opportunities with high intent. Any lead that makes it through this system is now marked as “Hot” with a Red Flame icon. Any lead that is scored lower will have no icon. By categorizing leads into these clear distinctions, you can better understand the status of each potential booking or referral lead, making it easier to prioritize and follow up accordingly. If you have any questions about this, please email us at [email protected]. We'll be happy to help you! 😄

We do have a way for you to be able to use your own custom slide while using the Talkadot QR code and unique feedback link. If you would like access to the option to use a customized slide, please reach out to [email protected]

Our research has shown that giving away a bonus can significantly enhance audience response rates, providing you with more valuable insights and improved outcomes. If you prefer not to offer a bonus, you have two options: you can exclude it by leaving field #3 blank in the Setup Talkadot Code pop-up, or you can opt for the default TALK slide.

You've got options! Play music, check in with your host, or jot down personal notes. This is a prime moment to ensure everything’s wrapped up smoothly before your impactful close. Our 4,000+ speakers have found creative ways to utilize this time effectively.

It's a common concern, but speakers who use Talkadot often report an even more enthusiastic response post-presentation. This shift happens because you're moving the audience from passive listening to active participation, making them more aware of the impact you've had. Following the principle of “congruence” as outlined by Robert Cialdini, people want their actions to align with their beliefs. By actively acknowledging your impact, they're likely to give you an even more resounding ovation. While you can display Talkadot as your last slide, introducing it as we suggest could significantly increase feedback rates. The choice, however, is yours. Want to learn more?

For your comprehensive event report and social shareable reports, we provide an overview of your top 4 out of the 5 speaker attribute scores. These scores are carefully evaluated and serve as a valuable indicator of the speaker's performance across various attributes. The lowest attribute score will not be included in your event report or the social shareable graphic reports. This approach allows us to highlight the most relevant and impactful aspects of the speaker's presentation while keeping the report concise and focused. We believe that by showcasing the top 4 attributes, you will display valuable insights regarding your strengths and contributions during the event, enabling the client and event planners to make informed decisions in wanting to book or rebook you. If you would like further details on individual attribute scores, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team at [email protected]. We are here to ensure you have the best experience!

Of course, you'll be able to add your Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube channel handles at the end of your Talkadot flow. This will allow your audience to stay connected with you. Plus, you don't have to add a social media handle for each platform. We know some speakers prefer to interact on specific platforms, and that's why we give you the choice of how you want your audience to connect with you.

You can absolutely use Talkadot if you have multiple speaking engagements on the same day. We know that multiple breakout sessions or workshops are common among speakers, and that's why we created a feature that will automatically split those submissions into multiple events. To verify the Auto Split Events feature is enabled, access your Settings menu in the top right-hand corner of your Talkadot dashboard. Then scroll down and toggle on the Auto Split Events feature button so that it turns blue. This will ensure that any response that comes in will be tied to the same event unless there is a 30-minute gap. If over 30 minutes have passed and a new response comes in, the new response for your breakout session or secondary session will generate a new event for you. We have you covered.

Yes you will be able to, but here's why we recommend using our defaults. We designed the Talkadot feedback process to be consistent from speaker to speaker so that the results can be interpreted uniformly across all speakers. This makes it easier for event planners to make decisions to book you! We have researched the questions we ask across industries, using the data from thousands of responses to pick the most answered and actionable questions. We put a lot of effort into optimizing the flow to make sure we keep our near 100% completion rate! On the Pro plan, you do have the option to add two customized question at the end of question flow. With Elite, you will have additional customization settings.

Your Talkadot link will always be the same, and the QR code you download from the 'Download My QR Code' button will also stay the same. But if you switch to a different Talkadot code, you'll need to get a new Talkadot slide. This happens because we've embedded your Talkadot code inside your QR code. For example, if you were using the code "INSPIRE," your Talkadot slide with the QR code already has "INSPIRE" in it. So, when someone scans that QR code, "INSPIRE" automatically appears within the Talkadot feedback form. We did this to make it super easy for your audience to access your Talkadot flow, give feedback, and collect their bonus. Just remember, the only time your QR code will change is if you change your username. So if you change your name, get a new QR code!

A bonus is a symbol of your appreciation that you can offer to your audience as a gesture of thanks for completing the Talkadot feedback form. Think about something valuable you'd like to provide to your attendees to express your gratitude. This might include digital assets such as a PDF document, presentation slides, a video, an MP3 file, an image, or a link to your website. We've noticed that some popular bonuses include speakers sharing their entire slide deck, the first chapter of their eBook, or a useful worksheet or tool from their presentation that their engaged audience would find interesting. Your offer can be anything that can be easily delivered digitally!

For a smoother experience, we suggest refraining from using .xlsx files as bonuses. While this format allows attendees to download the bonus, viewing it on a mobile device requires a specific app installed, and importing the file directly may lead to an 'Oops' error message. To ensure seamless access to your bonus on mobile devices, we recommend utilizing: PDFs, website links, mp3 files, png files, or jpeg files, all of which are fully supported. To avoid any potential issues with your bonus, we highly recommend steering clear of .xlsx files. If you wish to share an Excel document with attendees, you can instead copy the file's content into programs that support website links.
