Bet you can't answer these 4 questions.
If you're earning over $75,000 but under $750,000 per year, let's see how you answer these 4 questions:
1) Do you have a system for identifying and capturing every speaking lead in your audience?
The answer to this question is crucial in making it easier for you to book your next speaking engagement. All speakers know that the best lead is someone who approaches you after a speech, hands you their card, and says they want to book you.
In fact, the world's top keynote speakers often get their most reliable business from attendees of their talks.
But after a successful presentation, many people will want to talk to you. How do you know who is the "long-talker" – the person who keeps talking without realizing there’s a long line behind them – and who actually wants to book you?
Wouldn't it be great if those wanting to book you came up first, and then you could talk to everyone else?
2) Do you have a way to measure the impact of your presentations?
Your clients pay you well to speak. Without hard data showing the impact of your work, it's harder to book more engagements at the rates you deserve.
The problem is, unless you're a data analytics professional, gathering this data doesn't sound like the best use of your time, or fun.
What if you could easily create a report detailing the impact of your message on your audience?
And what if you could share this data with potential clients and those who have booked you? Wouldn't that be cool?
3) Do you have a system for capturing high-quality testimonials from your audience?
I bet you answered “kind of” for this one.
Do people compliment your speech, but then freeze up when asked to repeat it on camera?
Is chasing clients for testimonials via email a hassle?
And does it feel somewhat uncomfortable trying to get video testimonials post-talk, when you'd rather be connecting with your audience?

What if you could capture deep, meaningful, life-changing testimonials from almost everyone in your audience, providing social proof of why you should be booked?
4) What percentage of your total audience members have joined your email list?
This one's tough, right? Many speakers brag about addressing thousands, even tens of thousands, yearly, yet their email lists are comparatively tiny.
Imagine if almost every speaking engagement helped grow your list. These are the people most likely to buy your books, enroll in your coaching programs, purchase your courses, and book you for more talks.
As a professional speaker, each engagement is an opportunity to build a significant asset: your email list. All savvy business minds know that “the money is in the list,” yet many speakers neglect this.
That's why people like Gary Vee can send a single email and sell loads of books or other products. He has a large list and a strong following.
Every speaking opportunity is a chance to grow your list. Are you missing out?
So, how did you do?
If you can answer all 4 of these questions positively, congratulations. Keep doing what you're doing.
If you couldn’t, how would you like to be able to, simply by adding a slide with a QR code at the end of your presentation? This code would lead your audience to a uniquely created survey tool designed for speakers. It captures all this information for you and turns it into easy-to-use, beautiful images and reports.
