Category — 2010 Appearances – Public only

One thing I get tired of is blog posts that scratch the surface.  You know the type…”how to generate a million leads with webinars,” and their advice reminds you to invite people and send a reminder email.

This webinar, I trust, will be a little different.  For instance, I’m not going to tell you to send a “thank you,” I’m going to use the thank you email (assumed as a no-brainer) and share how to optimize it beyond the completely obvious.

Join me Thursday?

I recently saw a study where respondents BOTH complained about the frequency and duration of meetings AND secretly noted that they liked them.

Whatever your stance, one thing is probably true for you…most meetings could be a lot more effective.

As I often say, web conferencing for meetings isn’t the answer to everything, but if you’re not using them as part of your communications mix, you’re likely missing out on a serious competitive advantage.

Join me for this interactive event to learn

• The single fastest way to improve productivity immediately
• How to capture – and keep – attention virtually
• Techniques for gathering data, generating ideas and accelerating action
• The three most common mistakes and how to eliminate them

It’s one thing to get someone to your webinar…and it’s another to keep them there, engaged enough to “get” your key messages.  After all, if they’re only there from the neck down, you’ve lost part of the battle.

Speakers:

Roger Courville, 1080 Group
Jackie Fast, Direct Marketing Association

There are SO many forms of social media it’s tough to count and categorize them all, but Twitter is particularly powerful for connecting with prospects and customers.  This webinar will be diving into what we’ve learned about the intersection of social media with webinars.

Just this weekend I got an unsolicited email from a fan:

“I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for that fabulous webinar.  It made my first webinar extremely successful.  I traveled to several schools that attended my first webinar and was greeted by staff members who told me they didn’t look forward to my 90 minute webinar because they had attended several boring ones during the course of the school year but were excited to meet me in person to tell me how engaging mine was.  I have only you to thank.  I took the advice you gave us on that webinar, watched the “rerun” more than once and then started planning mine.  Thanks so much for your expertise, for your blog and for your book.  I look forward to reading your next one!”

I trust that this says more than I could have said about myself.  I’d be remiss if you didn’t take your own webinars to the next level.

Join me?

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to:
• Leverage the differences between virtual and in-person presentations
• Adapt your presentation for webinar delivery
• Apply the 3 foundational elements of visual thinking
• Create a presentation that engages your virtual audience
• Deliver a memorable experience for your attendees that leaves them wanting more from you

As an added bonus, the first 50 registrants receive Roger’s virtual presenter checklist

One of the things you’ll never hear come out of the mouth of me or my team is that webinars should replace all face-to-face training.  That’s stupid.

BUT…if you’re not executing part of your training program in live webinars, you’re likely missing out.

Attend this live webinar to learn:
•    How to apply instructional design to the unique characteristics of live online training
•    How to “make eye contact” in a virtual training environment
•    3 ways you can immediately engage multitasking learners
•    4 common Webinar mistakes and how to avoid them

If you’ve heard me speak, you’ve probably heard me say that I think every form of communicating has its valid and rightful place in the mix – and that in-person sessions are still valid.

I’ll be in Australia in October deliver three-hour masterclasses that are both face-to-face AND participants are invited to bring their laptops to have a hands-on session – using conferencing – while in the F2F session!  THIS is going to be fun.

Learn more here.

Based on the research that I’ve done, this webinar will deliver practical “so what do I do about it” ways to avoid the mistakes others are making.

Join me on 6/17 at 11am PDT?

Just in case you’re in Australia/New Zealand, and just in case you’ll be at LearnX, I’d be honored if you attended my session.  In fact, if you show up, you’ll get a free copy of The Virtual Presenter’s Handbook.

Twitter’s a hot topic…and rightly so…it’s a radically useful tool for many trainers.  BUT, it has a right time and place…

Join me for this webinar about when and how to enhance live webinars with social media!
