Posted by Sabrina George on Thu, Jun 04, 2015 @ 10:38 AM


It’s often said that it takes a lifetime to build a reputation, and only a few minutes to destroy it. This is true of person, place and thing, and it more than aptly applies to the quality of your company’s webinars. Your company works hard every day to maintain an image that consistently reflects your brand in the best possible light. All it takes to tarnish it, unfortunately, is one poorly executed webinar (i.e., one that suffers from low video quality or poor functionality).

Webinar Tip: Assign Q&A Time Slots

Posted by Amit Rathee on Wed, Oct 01, 2014 @ 12:33 PM
It is commonplace to allow questions and discussions in the middle of a classroom session, but this is not the best format when hosting a webinar.  When talking to an audience you can't see that has joined you in virtual session, the speaker in the webinar needs to take charge of the flow. It is for this reason, we recommend assigning specific time slots within the webinar for questions and discussions. Most often, the particpant Q&A is done in the last 15 minutes of the webinar session.

Webinar Tip: Have a Backup Plan

Posted by Amit Rathee on Thu, Jul 31, 2014 @ 01:28 PM
Regardless of how much you plan and prepare when conducting a webinar or any type of virtual meeting; there is still a chance that things can still go wrong. As such we recommend that you as the host ask yourself at least the following three preparation questions prior to the start of your event:


1.What is course of action if my phone disconnects or drops audio?
Answer: We suggest providing a backup dial-out number where you can be reached.

2.What would I do if my computer crashes mid session?
Answer: Keep an extra computer logged into the session on standby.

3.What if my guest guests are unable to attend the live session?
Answer: Have a backup or on-demand presentation. This way, those users who may have difficulty connecting to the live session, can watch your topic at their leisure.

Webinar Tip: Set a Time for Q&A

Posted by Amit Rathee on Tue, Jun 24, 2014 @ 01:35 PM
It is often commonplace to witness discussions or for a teacher to allow questions in the middle of a classroom or collaboration session. However, when you move in to the virtual meeting space, where you are talking to an unseen audience, the speakers or moderator need to be sure manage the overall flow of the webinar session. More specifically, it is vital to assign specific time frames within the webinar for questions and discussions and proceed according to the aforementioned plan. We suggest allotting the last 10-15 minutes of session to Q&A, depending on the overall length of the webinar.

As you design your invitations, make sure you are clear about the date and time of the event, as well as how long it will last and what your attendees can hope to gain from attending.

Scheduling a live webinar is one of the most difficult aspects, especially if your attendees span the globe.

Finally, pay close attention to the time zones of your attendees and plan around the most convenient time for the largest number of attendees. You may also want to consider holding two webinars to reach a larger audience.

Webinar Tip: Follow Up After The Event

Posted by Amit Rathee on Thu, Mar 06, 2014 @ 02:14 PM


Follow-up after the event is critical. Compare the list of registered attendees versus those who actually attended. Gather their contact information so you can send out surveys and receive feedback, if desired. The key is to get your follow-up emails out as soon as possible after the event, as well as any information you promised to deliver to your audience via email. A prompt follow-up means your webinar is still fresh in your audience’s mind and the feedback will be more valuable. Within an hour is the best amount of time.

Webinar Tip: Avoid last minute changes

Posted by Amit Rathee on Thu, Feb 06, 2014 @ 11:00 AM


Last minute changes to your webinar can have the potential to be highly disruptive. As such,  adding new content at the last minute, like a new video or PowerPoint presentation, should be avoided if possible. Furthermore, making changes moments before start time do not allow hosts and presenters enough to practice or get acclimated and can lead to blunders and mistakes. Small adjustments such as fixing a typo are still acceptable and can be completed.

Just because some of your participants are unable to attend the live showing of your webinar  doesn't mean that they are not interested or that they will not benefit from the content. As such, by making a recording of your webinar available, those who would want to re-watch , or  those who could not attend the live broadcast, can take part in your webinar on their own time.

You likely send out a great number of emails every day. Make sure to include a link to information about your webinar event or even the page for people to sign up. By doing so, this link will appear at the bottom of every email you send, attracting the attention of more people who may not receive your original email blasts and notifications, especially if recipients forward the email. Furthermore, make sure you highlight the webinar/webcast link and corresponding text in a different color so it really stands out.

Posted by Amit Rathee on Tue, Dec 31, 2013 @ 09:44 AM

You can continue your marketing efforts up to 24 hours before the event begins. However, you can still send reminders to attendees who signed up as little as a couple hours before to ensure they don’t forget to attend.

Posted by Amit Rathee on Wed, Nov 20, 2013 @ 01:01 PM


The data you collect should fall into one of five categories: demographic, interaction, sentiment, engagement or consumption.

It is best to avoid free text entries that are difficult to categorize.
