What Your Mother Never Told You about Teleseminars

By: Jeanette S. Cates

As we go through life, we learn many lessons, some of which our mothers could have told us but they didn't take the trouble because they knew we would either take no notice whatsoever or treat what they said with total disbelief. It was far easier for them to simply let us find out for ourselves.

With this in mind, let me tell you a few things I found out about teleseminars.

1. However you look and whatever you are wearing they can see you over the telephone line. Oh, I can hear the confusion, but what I mean is they pick up on your enthusiasm and excitement so even if you are the one and only person in the room, smile and generate your energy down the telephone just as you would if your audience were watching you in person

2. When you mute the line you are talking to "dead air". This frequently shocks many people on their first experience with the teleseminar process and quite often you will find they unmute over and over again in order to check that someone is still actually listening. Don't despair, you may not be able to hear them breathing but your audience is still there.

3. Half of the people who register won't actually show. Oh, they have the best of intentions when they sign up, especially if they are getting the call for free, but situations arise in every day life such as the dog needing to go to the vet or it's the last episode of a TV show they have been watching and things get overtaken. It is important for you as the organizer to remind them about the call, and then all you can do is cross your fingers and get the show on the road.

4. It's a good idea to do the follow up work before the actual call. This is because after the call has taken place you are all fired up and the last thing you want to start doing is taking care of the fine details. After all, there is so much to do. The audio has to be edited, the page for registration needs changing, reminders by email have to go out, and you need the product set up in the shopping system. If, however, you prepare by doing some of this work beforehand, you will be able to enjoy the moments after the call so much more.

5. It takes 6 hands to do a teleseminar. You have to follow the call outline, check the recording levels, IM your guest, field questions via email and watch the clock. What to do? Get help! Hire someone to record the teleseminar. Ask someone to handle the question emails for you and ask the questions on behalf of the audience. Add operator service to your line. You can't do this alone - unless you're a split personality or very talented.

Consider yourself forewarned about these lessons. But I'll know you weren't listening when on your next teleseminar you keep unmuting the line and saying 'Hello - anyone out there?'
