Post‑Speaker Q&A

Keep your audience engaged with your ideas long after your talk ends.

Outcome at a Glance

Who it’s for: Speakers, workshop facilitators, educators, and event hosts. What you’ll achieve: A public (or gated) Delphi that captures audience questions and curiosity after your talk, turning engagement into insight and qualified leads. Time to first win: 45–60 minutes.

Your Delphi becomes the room after the room, keeping your ideas alive, your voice consistent, and your audience connected long after you’ve left the stage.


Why it Matters

  • Continuous engagement: Attendees keep learning and asking questions after your talk.

  • Audience clarity: People can revisit material, ask for examples, or clarify key concepts.

  • Sustained impact: Your message compounds, Delphi answers instantly, any time zone.

  • Relationship building: Capture contact info and tag warm leads automatically.

  • Actionable insights: The dashboard shows which topics resonated most and who engaged deeply.

  • Feedback loop: Learn what hit hardest, what needed more clarity, and where future talks should focus.

The talk ends, but the conversation, and connection, keep growing.

  4. Alerts (Engagement & Lead Signals):

    • “If user mentions my talk, conference name, or event → tag as Event Attendee.”

    • “If user asks about working with me, my services, or upcoming talks → tag as Lead and notify me.”

    • “If user says ‘great talk,’ ‘inspired,’ or ‘loved your session’ → tag as Warm Audience and send thank-you.”

    • “If user mentions another conference, podcast, or media → tag as Speaker Opportunity.”

Launch (10–15 min)

  1. Pre-Event Promotion

    • Announce your Delphi on social and email newsletters: “Ask me questions before or after my session here.”

    • Add link/QR code to your slide footer or event materials.

  2. During the Event

    • Mention Delphi live: “If we don’t get to your question today, ask my Delphi afterward, it’s like an ongoing conversation.”

  3. Post-Event Follow-Up

    • Send thank-you Broadcast: “Loved having you in the session, keep the conversation going here.”

    • Add replay link and relevant resources.

  4. Verify Alerts:

    • Test triggers (“great talk,” “how can I work with you,” “growth summit”).

    • Confirm that notifications and tags apply correctly.

Your Delphi becomes the bridge between the talk and the next opportunity — capturing the questions you didn’t have time for on stage.

Metrics to Watch

  • Attendee Engagement Rate: % of talk attendees who interact post-event.

  • Lead Conversion Rate: % of Lead tags that move to calls or clients.

  • Warm Audience Growth: Increase in Warm Audience tags over time.

  • Top-Topic Insights: Which parts of your talk generated most questions.


Troubleshooting

  • Low engagement: Mention Delphi more prominently during your session and follow-up email.

  • Missed leads: Check alert phrasing; include event name, talk topic, or “how can I work with you.”

  • Too many generic tags: Add qualifiers (e.g., “only if mentions ‘work together’ or ‘collaborate’”).

  • Unclear takeaways: Update Mind with simplified summaries of slides or frameworks.


Pre-Flight Checklist

  • Slides, notes, or transcript uploaded with Context + Publish Date.

  • 5–7 Suggested Questions aligned to talk content.

  • Alerts configured for Event Attendee, Lead, Warm Audience, Speaker Opportunity.

  • Actions tested for notifications and follow-ups.

  • QR/link included in event slides and materials.

  • Post-event Broadcast scheduled within 24 hours.

  • Dashboard access ready for engagement review.


In Practice

Your Delphi becomes the after-party of your talk, where relationships form, ideas spread, and opportunities surface. Alerts capture who’s engaging, Actions follow up naturally, and tags show who’s ready for deeper connection or collaboration.

“If someone mentions the [conference name] or says they loved your talk, tag as Warm Audience. If they ask about working with you, tag as Lead and notify you immediately.”

That’s Delphi turning applause into ongoing conversation — and ongoing conversation into impact, growth, and real relationships.
