MenuHow to get to know with attractive speakers who work for global famous companies?
Answers
Hi Kinuko,
Well done for the initiative.
I wasn't 100% clear what type of speakers you are looking for, but in general, even if you don't have a large budget, you can still bring in speakers, so long as the (1) event is prestigious enough and/or (2) the audience is large enough or has people who could be potential customers/clients for the speaker.
I often get invited to speak at events, and the payment varies on numerous factors such as location (versus zoom), type of audience, size of audience. I've even given a few completely free lectures because the audience was big enough and relevant to my industry - or just because I wanted to help promote a certain agenda - like female entrepreneurs.
TedX would be a good place to find top-notch speakers - some are famous, other's less, but most are good.
Good luck

How can I improve the rate of attendees for my webinar?
Have you considered utilizing a tool like Webinar Jam? You can pre-record your webinars, turn them into evergreen webinars and set the entire system up to provide specific dates and times for the recording, including a, "Your in luck, our next one starts in 15 minutes!" option or something like it. Three weeks is a long time to wait when we are a society that want instant gratification so offering something like this may be a key for more frequency. Also, if you have a way to monitor the open rate of those five reminders, I'd encourage you to look at that statistic. Even though your current schedule is three weeks out, five reminders seem a little high and I'm thinking you'll see that the two out of the five e-mails don't even get looked at. Other suggestions would be to look closely at your webinar title, the length of the webinar and even the hook you are pitching to encourage people to watch. You want to give off a high perceived value to entice registration and attendance.JF

If my webinars are failing due to technical mismanagement, what are the best ways to avoid technical failure?
You need to practice the webinars alone but in record mode. Using GoToMeeting/GoToWebinar you can practice presenting to yourself or others in your organization. The benefit is you get used to the technical tools to prevent those technical mismanagement issues as well as practicing your pitch. I also mean practice them all the way thru completely. With the proper tools you can and should record them so you can review yourself and/or distribute them as branding materials.RT

How can I successfully sell cloud based software to SMEs through one- on-one web-demos and webinars?
This is a poor way of trying to sell SaaS products and other software. Unfortunately, it's also the ONLY way most people in the field know how to do it. I've written several times about the reasons demos fail to sell. Here are the links: http://www.salestactics.org/why-demos-fail-to-sell/ http://www.salestactics.org/how-saas-vendors-get-it-wrong/ http://www.salestactics.org/saas-sales-problems/ This is a great opportunity for you to set up a sales process that's effective now, rather than wasting resources on a broken model.JK

Who would you hire if you want to improve your public speaking skills?
I'd suggest first joining a local Toastmasters club. There you'll be able to practice, receive feedback and more. Then work with a coach one on one. If you'd like specific recommendations, I'd be happy to offer coaches I know on a short call.SL
