The last year has been a busy and exciting one here at karmaSpeaker. And as 2020 gets underway, we’re thrilled to share with you everything we’ve been working so hard on.
We’ve been focusing on some exciting new ways to make karmaSpeaker an even more valuable tool for you. With every new tweak, feature, and resource we roll out, we’re hyper-focused on providing you with the tools you need to get fully booked with high-value speaking gigs.
The seven big updates we’ve been working on are:
- A brand-new mobile app
- Expert webinars
- More resources to help you book more speaking gigs
- Guest blog posts from notable speakers
- A brand-new website
- Bringing on karmaAdvisors
- Collaborating with karmaPartners
Below, we’ll give you an in-depth look at each of these updates and provide some insight into how you’ll be able to put them to work for your business.
1. A Brand-New Mobile App
As a speaker, you’re often on the road and you don’t always have easy access to your computer when you need key information. Sometimes, you need instant access to karmaSpeaker in the palm of your hand. That’s why we’ve been working tirelessly to completely overhaul your karmaSpeaker mobile experience.
In order to do this, we discarded our original karmaSpeaker app and redesigned it from the ground up. We examined it through the lens of enhanced functionality and user experience and implemented some big changes, including:
- Enhanced file management: We added the ability for you to upload files directly into the app and to easily access them in order to help ensure nothing ever falls by the wayside.
- New visual calendar: We implemented a visual calendar in addition to your list of activities. This way, your calendar is directly integrated, making it easier to access and navigate.
- Improved field visibility: We made tweaks that make it easier for you to see and access all of your custom fields.
The new and improved karmaSpeaker beta app is available for download on all mobile platforms. For iPhone users, search for “karmaspeaker” in the app store. For Android users, look for “karmacrm” on Google Play.
2. Expert Webinars
To help you get every possible benefit from karmaSpeaker, we’ve started hosting The karmaSpeaker Webinar Series.
Each month, we’ll be featuring an expert guest to talk you through actionable tactics you can implement to grow your speaking business and book more gigs. You’ll learn their tips, tricks, and insights on how you can use karmaSpeaker to help you do that.
3. More Resources to Help You Book More Speaking Gigs
Our goal is to consistently provide you with additional value. And in order to make that happen, we’re rolling out a new content focus centered around bringing the best ideas and resources to you via our blog.
We’ve also launched our monthly newsletter where you’ll find everything from karmaSpeaker news to industry insights and interesting articles as well as curated content focused on marketing and sales techniques you can use to grow your business.
You can find our entire library of blog content here. And if you’d like to register for our monthly newsletter, just click here.
4. Guest Blog Posts from Notable Speakers
Another component of our new content focus is to bring you insights and advice from some of the speaking industry’s most renowned experts.
Every month, we’ll be publishing a new guest blog post from one of your professional peers – and we’re always open to hearing from you about topics you’d like to learn more about.
We also welcome guest blog submissions from anybody who has a unique perspective, interesting thoughts, or an innovative approach to running a professional speaking business. So, if you’ve got expertise that you’d like to share, then we’d love to hear from you!

5. A Brand-New Website
We’re proud to have finally launched our brand-new standalone karmaSpeaker website.
What began as a subsection of the karmaCRM site, the new website was designed and built completely from scratch – just like our software.
Here, you can learn everything you want to know about our company, our services, our team, and the benefits that karmaSpeaker can offer your business.
6. Bringing On karmaAdvisors
We know the importance of continually reviewing and refining our software and tailoring our platform to the evolving needs of professional speakers. That’s why we’ve enlisted an expert advisory board comprised of professional speakers to act as our sounding board for karmaSpeaker.
Our karmaAdvisors help us stay on the pulse and ensure we’re getting it right by building tools, features, and functionalities that move the needle on helping you book more gigs.
And of course, we listen and track all feedback from our customers, so please keep them coming!
7. Collaborating with karmaPartners
We’ve spent the last year hand-selecting a group of karmaPartners who share our mission to help speakers book more gigs.
karmaPartners are dedicated to sharing their knowledge, expertise, and systems that support the success of professional speakers – and they use karmaSpeaker to do it. We’ll be continually adding karmaPartners to bring you even more helpful insights into how you can maximize the potential of your business.
Final thoughts
As excited as we are – and as we hope you are – about these new upgrades, they are only the beginning. We’re constantly looking for new ways to refine our platform and provide tools and resources that will help you get fully booked with speaking gigs and grow your business.
As 2020 rolls on, keep an eye on our blog, the newsletter, and your inbox, because we’ve got a lot that we’re looking forward to sharing with you. We’re planning to make karmaSpeaker even bigger and better this year.
We want to hear from you! To make this the worlds best business software for speakers, we need your help. Please reach out to us and tell us what you think.
