Here are three tips that will ensure your virtual event is successful and runs smoothly.
Write out a plan that includes an introduction, your presentation, your sales pitch and an ending. Your introduction, should clarify how and when you will accept questions from your audience.
Practice makes perfect. Do at least do one ‘dry run’ of your presentation. Explore the question or chat functions of the event software.
Get help. Running a virtual event can be overwhelming for many. Concentrate on your presentation and hire someone to do the following:
Introduce you to the audience
Instruct the audience how to ask questions and interact
Handle any issues: dropped calls, audio issues, visual issues, etc
Ask questions, if no one in the audience does; the individual can also act as an interviewer or identify whose question is next
Virtual events can be a fun and practical way to give your clients and prospective clients helpful information about your products, services and industry. Following these three tips will go a long way to ensuring your webinar or teleseminar is successful.
