When a client/booker adds a testimonial about you, we do a basic check if it meets our Terms of use and publish it on your profile.
To get a ‘verified’ badge next to the testimonial, the client/booker must provide the reviewer’s business email (cannot be Gmail, Hotmail or similar) and they must confirm that they in fact endorsed the speaker in question.
Clients can upload a logo or image related to review on submission.
Cancelling the subscription/upgrade/payment means the account remains intact but you lose access to certain features (such as the display of video/location/PDF downloads, social links etc on the speaker profile, but even these media contents remain in the account, they just don’t show up on the public profile page without being upgraded).
Organizers can be companies looking for speakers or workshop trainers for their corporate events, conference organizers seeking your expertise, global events lining up presenters on business, medical, IT or any other topic, schools and universities looking for volunteer speakers for their students, or any other event manager who wants to have someone with expertise and great speaking skills.
