In my last series of articles, I discussed four types of webinars. With model number two, you can offer a free webinar to help promote your services. This is called a ”How-to Webinar.” If you have a complicated product to sell then this is perfect. You will teach people how to do things in this type of webinar. After that you will then offer your services if it is something that they do not want to tackle themselves. The mortgage industry for example is a great place that the ”How-to Webinars” will work perfectly.
Teaching people to do their taxes and probate are two examples that can be used from the example above. You can even teach them how to choose a qualified professional in this area. Once you have taught them all the things you planned, you will then offer your services to do these for them. You must make sure that you are living up to the standards that you have pointed out to them since after this they will be looking for a qualified professional to help them. You may guide them by indicating the top ten things to look for in a professional. Your competitors may be able to meet up to 5 of these. However, you must ensure that you outdo them by meeting all ten.
These types of webinars can be used as a tool to teach people about the new regulations and rules that have been implemented. One topic that could yield lots of money for any tax attorney would be how to tackle your taxes. The tax attorney can use the beginning of each tax season to put in place the “How-to Webinar” that will teach people about new changes and rules in this sector. They will see all the bureaucracy that is involved, and then he will show how he may help them.
“How-to Webinars” are not being used as much in service-related industries. The truth is that this is one area that could really use webinars. Webinars can be used to educate people about setting up an appointment, making sales, and many other areas in the service industry.
In which service sector could webinars be used? Realtors who are trying to sell under-valued properties to buyers could use them. This could even be applied to realtors that are trying to sell their services and are saying they are better than the competitor. Even health care professionals who are trying to teach their audience about the latest in their field could use a webinar. They can easily teach, and then make a follow-up appointment with these same people.
People nowadays do not know about the different insurance plans that are on the market. Insurance salesmen who are interested in expanding their services can easily explain the different plans that are on the market for different people. Once the webinar is finished, he could then offer a free one-on-one session to help those who are curious to find out more and to help them identify the best plan on the market for them.
Personally I like the whole concept behind a one-on-one consultation. I believe that it is necessary in some industries. However, the important thing here is pre-qualifying people and getting appointments with them. After a webinar, I will only be targeting those people who want to buy. From there I will set up my one-on-one appointments.
Non-profit organizations can also benefit from webinars. They can use the webinars to attract potential donors and show them why they are the best organization to invest with. After the webinar is finished, they can see the website on which they can make their donation.
