Teleseminars can be a crucial marketing tool for service professionals. One advantage: If nobody shows up, all is not lost…if you have the right set-up.
(1) These days most hosts do not open the lines. It’s dangerous: even if lots of people are listening, often they won’t want to talk. And if they do talk, you never know what they will. Therefore, nobody will know if you’ve got one person or a hundred.
(2) Offer the call as a replay to your list. These days, most people listen via replay.
(3) Write up what you said as an ebook. Often the energy of the call pulls out ideas you didn’t know you had.
Be aware that some teleseminar companies announce the number of participants. If you attract the ideal number, it’s no problem. If not, participants may feel awkward. Nobody likes to be in an audience of 2 or 3 people. For this reason, I like InstantTeleseminar. As the host, I see who’s on the phone and who’s on the webcast, but my audience has no clue. http://budurl.com/best4classes
