How can I set up an online seminar to train my affiliates … and what are some tips for successful seminars?
This is something I wish to develop during 2016, so I have been giving this question some thought. This is what I plan to do: -
1. I plan to build up to setting up an online seminar – in other words, do it in stages.
2. Stage one: Is to prepare materials for a seminar. I am putting together some video clips about different aspects of SFI. When these are ready they will be available to my team through my website.
The videos will be of me talking to them directly and will include screen shots of me working in SFI – so they will see exactly what they should be doing – and they can just copy me.
They can get back to me with any questions and I will work with them through these videos at their pace.
It’s a “one-on-one” training situation.
And, honesty, this is what I would prefer to do.
3. Stage two: The online seminar itself. This is where many people can view the content at the same time, ask questions and have their questions answered.
Of course, you can only deal with one person and one question at a time, so the others in that seminar will be waiting their turn. That’s a bit of a drawback to using an online seminar.
Perhaps the easiest way to do this is to use SKYPE, provided everyone has access to it.
The most important thing is that the online seminar is held at a time that is suitable for your affiliates. That might take some “twigging” to get right. Perhaps the best way forward would be to ask them what times would suit them and then run the online seminars at those times.
I don’t think you should worry too much about things. You can over-plan these things. I suggest that you get started in a small way. Each of us will have a different experience with online seminars – so learn from what you find out as you go along.
And remember, it’s not running a fabulous online seminar that is important – what’s important is teaching your team to be successful in their SFI businesses.
An online seminar may be a great benefit to the success of your team, but it is not the only way and it may not be the best way for some of your team members either.
Don’t get “tied up’ with the technology. Keep it simple. Keep focused on your aim – teaching your team to be successful SFI business people.
