Decrease the Frequency of Your Webinars

Prepare A Poll Question With An Offer

Attach an offer to one of your poll questions. For instance, something like: “Do you want us to follow up with you about a free eBook?” Then, after the marketing webinar, your sales team can follow up by saying, “Hi, I’m just following up on your request for a free eBook…”
Send Out the Webinar Recording Immediately
As every businessperson knows, opportunities don’t last always. If someone is somewhat interested in your webinar today, chances are, three days from now they’ll be less fascinated. If they haven’t forgotten about it completely! Folks lose interest fast, so send out your marketing webinar recording quickly. Keep your leads close and engaged. Don’t let hot leads go cold!
Rehearse Your Webinar a couple of Times
Not everybody is a naturally gifted talker. In fact, while it may look like giving exceptional presentations is second nature to some speakers, what you won’t see is all the hours of research and practice that went into making that presentation.
If you want to bring an amazing webinar that people will want to remember, it’s vital to take the time to practice your webinar. Arrange time to do a practice run in front of an associate, coworker or family member. They can point out aspects of your webinar that drag or are unclear, and they might help you catch errors in your deck!
Another PRO tip: Record yourself giving the webinar and listen back to see what parts need work. You may find bad speaking habits that you can easily fix. (Like Mms and uhh)
