There are literally hundreds of ways you can grow your business, from speaking at networking events to running ads in trade publications. If you are in the early years of your business, or even if you are a successful solo-entrepreneur, chances are you don’t want to spend your earnings on time consuming or costly strategies that have a less than certain return.

There is a low-cost solution that will give you a powerful return on investment …in more sales closed and in better relationships with your clients. When you choose teleseminars to grow your business, you are able to tap into something that even the costliest of marketing strategies can’t deliver…a personal and even intimate connection with your prospective customers and clients.

Let’s look at five specific ways you can leverage the power of teleseminars to grow your business:

1. Treat your existing customers special - Deliver quality free information to your current customers by holding regular, customer only teleseminar events. Invite a guest expert if you don’t want to speak yourself. Bringing valuable information to people who have already purchased from you will add exponential value to your services. Your customers will be thrilled!

2. Deliver premium content - Hold paid teleseminar programs and charge people to attend. These teleseminars can (and should) be recorded, so you can package them into a product for additional ongoing sales after the live event.

3. Create an Ethical Bribe - Record your teleseminars and use them to attract customers. Offer a recording of one of your free calls as an enticement to sign up for your email newsletter. You can also use these audios as an enticement in the resource box of your articles, tempting readers to sign up for your email list in exchange for the recording. Consider having the call transcribed and put in PDF format to add additional value.

4. Repurpose your existing content - Package a series of related teleseminars you have already done and sell them as a digitally downloadable product. Always look at your existing assets before you put work into creating a new product.

5. Master the Art of the Preview Call - Use teleseminars to actually sell your products and services live and in the moment. Invite your list subscribers to the call and deliver great content while also previewing your product or service. Use a time-limited offer to compel action. This is by far the most powerful strategy of the five. When you have the ability to deliver compelling free content paired with an irresistible offer, you will never have to worry about generating cash flow, as you can produce it on demand.

Teleseminars are a great way to leverage the power of technology to bring you into a much closer relationship with your customers and clients. When customers hear your voice, they feel they know you and can trust you.

When your customers know, like and trust you, they will come back to you to do business again and again and again. So put the complicated marketing solutions on the back burner and grow your business using teleseminars. Once you experience the power of picking up the phone to interact with your clients and customers you will wonder how you ever did business without this great marketing tool.

Hey Ellen,
Thanks for posting a great list of benefits for teleseminars. Just yesterday I was having a similar conversation (on a teleseminar in fact) about #1 and #3 for small local businesses.

The best part of the ethical bribe is building your list with the promise of the audio gift, and then using the same content (as you say in #4) for a series of follow up messages to make sure they consume your information.

Can’t wait to see you again at NAMS in the summer. I bet your Radiance event in Raleigh is going to rock. I’d come up, but I’ll be teaching teleseminars at Adam Urbanski’s event.

As expected, Ellen – excellent tips!

I’m about to dip my toes into the waters of teleseminars so your post showed up at just the right time.

I’ve been using my “voice” to make a living in the offline world for close to three decades! So I believe teleseminars will be a natural and comfortable venue of choice to incorporate into my online business.

I consider teleseminars to be a “tell” platform and webinars, of course, a “show and tell” platform.

Can you share any thoughts about using webinars vs teleseminars?

Thanks!
Melanie

Ellen: Thank you for a wonderful bit of marketing info. I was referred to you this morning by my friend Deidre Hughey, the Buzz Builder (NC) who attended your Radient Success event this past week and was RAVING about it! She told me I absolutely MUST come to the next one! So, I Googled all of the women’s names that she gave me and your “Zen & the art of email list buiding” really jumped out and grabbed me! Loved it! Now I can’t wait to read more…

As Melanie said above, I’m about to dip my toes into the world of teleseminars too and as if by “magic” (SMILE! I’m a firm believer that when the student is ready, the teacher appears) there you were!

Thanks so much! I look forward to our paths continuing to cross!

Gwen
