Webinars that Work with Todd Earwood #246
Todd Earwood is the founder and CEO of MoneyPath. Todd believes in using webinars as powerful sales tools that will engage customers for years to come, and he helps his clients do just that through Webinar Works. In this episode Todd and I discuss what it takes to build effective webinars that work. In a world where there is more work than time, we consider the possibility of using automation to tease out highly qualified prospects.
What’s new About Webinars?
A webinar is a video sales presentation made over the web. The presentation maybe live or automated. The webinar can be augmented with technology to advance interest in a product or service. In either case a webinar is a way of getting leads to self identify interest. If a visitor spends a long time on a webinar, they are a hot prospect. This is how you can make webinars that work.
Keys to High Quality Webinars That Work
- Webinars should private, don’t publish on social media
- Target a very narrow persona, may only have 1 or 2 people show up
- People are strongly motivated to avoid pain, not so much gain. Be mindful of your focus.
- Hook on a persona. For example consider this headline “Top 5 mistakes and pitfall that Z make regarding Y topic”
- Arm sales with snippet content. Make separate blogs posts and videos for each mistake and consider it a reusable asset
- Have two people host the webinar
- Have polls – leave a comment or use a tool
- Do you agree? YES or NO or THE POPE IS CATHOLIC
- At the end of the webinar ask, which question was the most interesting for you?
- Then ask “now that you’ve been educated on this topic, what’s your next step?”
- research
- love it going to hand it off
- love this topic I need to learn more now
Build a webform poll on the video page… people will click it.
Segmented Follow Up: Follow up with ALL who show up. Break up the signups into groups by interest; follow up who didn’t show up and offer to have them watch the replay.
