Pre-Talk Audience Intake · For professional speakers
Walk on stage knowing exactly who is in the room.
You send a 3-minute survey to the audience two weeks before your keynote. We turn the responses into a 1-page briefing pack. Themes, language, names worth calling out, and what to avoid. Read it in your green room. Walk out knowing the room.

How it works
Two weeks pre-event. One hour pre-talk. Four steps.
Step 01
You give us the event
Name, date, audience, and what your talk is about. 30 seconds. We generate a 5-question survey tuned to the room you'll be walking into.
Step 02
Organizer pushes the survey
Two weeks before the event, the organizer drops the link in the registration confirmation. Mobile-first. Three minutes to fill out. Anonymous if needed.
Step 03
We read every response
The day before your talk, we run the responses through Claude. You get a 1-page briefing: top themes, the exact language they use, names worth calling out from stage, and what to avoid.
Step 04
You walk on stage knowing the room
Pull up the brief in your green room. Five minute read. The talk you've delivered 50 times suddenly feels like it was written for them specifically.
Why this matters
Personalization is the new bar. This is how you actually clear it.
Every meeting planner asks if you'll personalize. Every speaker says yes. Almost nobody actually does it past name-dropping the company at the top. This is how you do it for real, in less time than the prep call you usually take.
It's the prep you already wish you had
Most speakers spend 2 to 4 hours on prep call cycles trying to extract this exact information from one meeting planner. This gets it from the actual audience in 3 minutes per person.
The talk feels written for them
When you say a phrase from stage that the audience said in their survey, the room goes quiet. Three of those moments turns a good talk into the keynote they remember.
Names from stage = instant credibility
"Tasha in the ICU told us she..." earns more trust in 8 seconds than a polished opening earns in 8 minutes. This is how you do that without stalking 200 LinkedIns.
Organizers will love you for it
You become the speaker who took their audience seriously enough to ask them what they needed. That's a referral generator, not a one-night stand.
