GigTools
Speaker management software for keynote and professional speakers.
Conferences, sales kickoffs, association meetings, workshops. GigTools keeps every engagement, client, contract and itinerary organized, so you can focus on delivering the talk.
Great talks take preparation. So does running a speaking business.
Every client is different
Meeting planners, speakers bureaus and in-house event teams all have their own process, paperwork and timelines.
Travel on top of travel
Fly in, present, fly out. Itineraries, hotels and ground transport for each engagement add up fast.
Details buried in email
Audience profiles, AV needs, session times and customization notes end up scattered across threads.
Every engagement, fully prepared
A keynote is only as good as the preparation behind it. GigTools gives each engagement one place for everything: the client and meeting planner, the venue and room, session time and length, AV requirements, audience profile, customization notes, fee and deposit, travel and the signed agreement.
When you sit down to prepare, or when the planner calls with a schedule change, the details are in one place instead of across a dozen email threads.
Contracts without the chase
Generate a speaking agreement from the details you've already entered, send it to your client to sign online, and watch the engagement move to confirmed on your calendar once it's signed. No printing, scanning or follow-up emails asking whether the contract went through.
Travel that doesn't derail the talk
Store flights, hotels and ground transfers with each engagement. Live flight status keeps an eye on delays and cancellations so you hear about problems sooner and can let the planner know early.
Build a pipeline of future engagements
Keep meeting planners, associations and bureaus organized, with the full history of every engagement. Booking requests from your speaker page or website land in your Inquiries, automatic tasks remind you to follow up on leads, and email templates make outreach quick. Booking campaigns that send your avails to a whole contact list are coming soon.
Questions from keynote speakers
Can I track audience details for each engagement?
Yes. Each event can hold audience demographics, marketing resources and notes, so you can tailor your talk and reuse what you learned next time.
Can I keep multiple keynote clips?
Yes. Your speaker page can hold multiple titled video clips, so planners can watch the talk most relevant to their event.
Do clients need an account to sign an agreement?
Agreements are sent to your client to review and sign online, and the signed copy is stored with the engagement.
Can I use GigTools if I also work with a speakers bureau?
Yes. Bureaus and their agents can be stored as contacts and linked to the engagements they book, alongside your direct clients.
