Meet Frank Kitchen

Frank Kitchen is a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) who works with organizations to help their people break through the mental and physical barriers that hold them back from living the dreams they hunger for. With a background as a chef and a journey sparked by his own career challenges, Frank’s keynotes inspire audiences at annual conferences across the country.

After being fired from his job as a chef (a touch of irony given his last name), Frank pursued his dream of becoming a professional speaker, a career where his passion and experience combine to deliver transformative results.

The Challenge: Turning Talks into Growth

I was delivering impactful talks, but I didn’t have a system to turn that energy into future bookings

Frank relied on traditional methods to capture leads, such as exchanging business cards and waiting for event planners to follow up. The problem was that these approaches were inconsistent and often led to missed opportunities. After an event, he had no structured way to turn audience engagement into more bookings.

Without a reliable process, follow-ups were sporadic, and there was no easy way to show event planners data on his impact. He needed a solution that would turn every speaking engagement into a growth opportunity rather than just a one-time event.

Became the Game-Changer
How Talkadot Became the Game-Changer

Frank implemented Talkadot to streamline his speaking business. Instead of hoping for follow-ups or manually collecting business cards, he integrated Talkadot into every presentation.

During his talks, he invited the audience to scan a QR code, which took them to a custom feedback form. This allowed attendees to share their thoughts in real time while providing their contact information. To make the process more engaging, he personalized the form with a photo of his kids using laptops, creating a warm and approachable touch.

To encourage participation, Frank offered attendees valuable takeaways in exchange for feedback. He provided notes from his talk, slides, and a workbook featuring thirty mindset-shifting activities. This value-driven exchange ensured higher response rates and a more engaged audience.

Rather than treating feedback as an afterthought, Frank made it an interactive part of his presentations. He played music while attendees filled out the form, turning it into a fun, high-energy moment. As a result, more attendees participated, and event planners received structured data showcasing the impact of his sessions.

The Results: More Revenue, More Bookings, More Impact

By integrating Talkadot into his business, Frank transformed the way he captured value from his speaking engagements. He tracked $100,000 in additional speaking revenue directly from leads collected through the platform.

Beyond the revenue, he secured more repeat bookings, as event planners appreciated the data-driven insights he provided. His follow-up process became effortless, allowing him to focus more on his audience rather than logistics. More importantly, he saw a deeper level of engagement, as attendees interacted with his content beyond the stage.
