A speaker sends 80 proposals and books 20 engagements. What is the proposal win rate?
Answer: 25%
20 bookings divided by 80 proposals equals a 25% win rate.
Which SMART-goal element is missing from 'I want to get better speaker evaluations'?
Answer: Measurable target and time-bound deadline
The goal has no numeric target and no deadline, so it cannot be measured or time-bound.
A speaker grows their email list by 300 subscribers at an event with 1,000 attendees. What is the opt-in conversion rate?
Answer: 30%
300 divided by 1,000 equals a 30% opt-in rate.
Which practice most improves the reliability of a speaker's evaluation data over time?
Answer: Using the same core questions and scale at every engagement
Consistent questions and scales allow valid comparisons and trend analysis across events.
What is the main risk of a speaker measuring success only by standing ovations and applause?
Answer: They reflect momentary emotion, not lasting impact or client value
Applause shows immediate reaction (Kirkpatrick Level 1) but says nothing about learning, behavior, or results.
A speaker tracks their average cost to acquire one new booking (marketing spend ÷ new bookings). What is this metric called?
Answer: Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)
CAC is total acquisition spending divided by the number of new clients gained.
A corporate client books a speaker an average of 3 times at $8,000 each over the relationship. What is this client's lifetime value in revenue?
Answer: $24,000
3 bookings × $8,000 = $24,000 in lifetime revenue from that client.
