Webinar How To – Increase Your Leads and Sales
How to run a webinar…your step-by-step guide.
First, you have to put together a compelling presentation that causes your prospective customers to take action. You see, it’s not enough to educate your audience. You can be the most beloved “teacher” on the Internet and still not grow your online or offline business through webinars.
You have to walk the fine line of giving really great content as well as asking them to DO SOMETHING at the end of your webinar. That can be visiting your website, picking up the phone or driving over for a visit.
After you create a killer presentation, you have to find a webinar hosting company so you can present your information to hundreds of people at one time. There are several good ones out there including GoToWebinar, WebEx, Adobe Connect and few others. Or you can hire individuals to run your webinar for you.
Also there are webinar “how to” courses that show you every step and give you the reasoning behind each one. Make sure you choose a course that has lots of step by step video so you don’t get lost. Then turn the course over to your techie person, employee, secretary or teenage kid and have them learn how to setup your webinar!
Now you will want to think about recording your webinar so that you can show the replay. There may be some potential customers who are not able to attend the live webinar. In this case, if you offer a replay, you will likely net more sales.
Remember this important tip: Include a reason “to buy now” in every webinar you host. For example, your product might be on sale for the next 48 hours, or you may only offer a few appointment times for a consult. You may even offer a bonus product that will go away at the end of the week. Be creative as long as it prompts your viewer to act right away.
This is why it’s ideal for you to have as many viewers watching your webinar “live.” It gives you greater control over the event and the rewards for taking action. However, even in the replay, you can make it clear that there are incentives for acting immediately.
And finally, you want to follow up with your webinar attendees. If you ask for full contact information, you can send those that didn’t buy a postcard, direct mail piece or even pick up the phone and call them.
The beauty of running a webinar is that it leaves you with folks who are “qualified.” If they have signed on for your webinar, spent 30 or 60 minutes listening, and spent time with you in follow-up, they will very likely buy your product or service.
So, these are a few webinar how to’s. Webinars are really not that complicated, and the rewards can be VERY profitable!
