Dan Faill is a storyteller, keynote speaker, and consultant who helps organizations create conversations that matter. With over 15 years of experience in higher education, Dan built a career advocating for authentic leadership, courageous conversations, and personal growth. Now, as a full-time speaker, he blends humor and personal storytelling to make tough conversations more engaging and relatable.
I’d give a great talk, have fantastic conversations afterward, and then hope people would remember me when they needed a speaker later. But hoping isn’t a strategy.
Dan knew that a great talk doesn’t always translate into booked business—at least not right away.
While audiences loved his sessions, the post-event follow-up process was inconsistent. Business cards, LinkedIn connections, and casual conversations were useful, but they didn’t create a structured, scalable way to capture audience interest while it was fresh.
Dan needed a way to turn audience enthusiasm into actionable leads—without disrupting the natural flow of his talk or feeling overly salesy.
Talkadot allowed Dan to seamlessly collect leads, referrals, and feedback in real time. Instead of hoping attendees would follow up later, he integrated Talkadot directly into his talks, making it easy for audiences to take action on the spot. By embedding the QR code into his presentations, Dan ensured that engagement happened when audience excitement was at its peak, rather than relying on post-event networking that often fizzled out.
One of the biggest benefits Dan experienced was high engagement and instant lead capture. Over 70% of his audience scans the Talkadot QR code during his talks, providing a direct line of communication. Attendees can instantly indicate whether they’re interested in booking him or referring him, eliminating the need to rely on business cards or LinkedIn requests that may never materialize. With Talkadot, every connection is captured in real time, ensuring that no potential opportunity is lost.
Beyond just gathering leads, Talkadot streamlined Dan’s follow-up process by automatically flagging leads who provided information about a future speaking opportunity. This allowed him to focus on the highest-priority opportunities first, making follow-ups more effective and less time-consuming. Instead of reaching out blindly, Dan could send personalized follow-ups to hot leads quickly and confidently, without the awkwardness of cold outreach.
Talkadot also strengthened Dan’s relationships with event planners by providing them with concrete data about his audience impact. He shares Talkadot’s audience feedback reports after each event, allowing event organizers to see firsthand how well his message resonated. These data-driven insights reinforce his value and make it easier for planners to justify rebooking him for future engagements. By proving his effectiveness with real numbers, Dan has positioned himself as a top-choice speaker for repeat bookings.
By integrating Talkadot into his process, Dan transformed audience energy into real business opportunities. Multiple speaking engagements have been booked directly from Talkadot leads, proving that real-time audience engagement translates into tangible results. With over 70% of attendees scanning his QR code, Dan has significantly increased his engagement rate, ensuring that more potential clients are captured at the moment of highest interest.
His follow-ups are now warm and data-driven, making booking decisions easier for clients. Instead of chasing down leads, he’s reaching out to people who have already expressed interest in working with him. Additionally, Talkadot’s reporting features have provided measurable proof of his impact, leading to increased repeat bookings from event planners who can see the value he delivers. By turning his audience engagement into a structured, repeatable system, Dan has made it easier than ever to grow his speaking business.
Talkadot completely changed how I approach audience engagement. Now, I don’t just inspire people—I connect with them in a way that turns that inspiration into action. It’s been a total game-changer for building relationships and getting rebooked.
