A Guide To Preparing For Compliance Webinars

By Matthew Gibson


For big companies and small business owners to conquer the current competition brought by the use of the internet, they have to be efficient and competent. Understanding the basics of running a computer program is not enough to help them market their products. However, some people have noticed this gap and organizing webinars where business executives and other employees attend learning session. Planning and organizing for webinars in not as easy as it may look and strategic measures should be taken towards its success. Here is a guide to preparing for compliance webinars.

All training should be driven by a given agenda. Prepare topics that are relevant to the market need. Random and repeated agendas will see a few interested participants when compared to new topics that reflect the rising challenges in the trade. Moreover, the presentations should be prepared to go for short periods to ensure that the audience is not bored.

In all training, the learning materials should be formatted and designed engagingly. Restricting the webinar into slides that have textual or heavy content that is interspersed with the speech from the presenter can be boring. Use videos, images, and desktop sharing on all topics. The format should keep the audience interested while tackling the agenda at the same time.

The training session for the whole course may take considerable time, which one person cannot expedite alone. You will need to build a knowledgeable team whose focus will be ensuring the participants get enough resources to run their business. Hire a backup professional who will bail you out in case unanticipated breakdown occurs. The hired professionals should be given an induction training to streamline them into what you would want.

The location of the presentation is detrimental in deciding how the presentations will be delivered. For instance, if you are using a space that has difficulty in accessing the internet, your webinar will fail from the start. Find a space where network for both wireless and fixed connections is excellent. Ensure microphones, power cables, and headsets are available and functional.

Dates and time should be chosen in advance to give the targeted audience an ample time preparing for the event. Days falling within holidays and weekends are not ideal considering that most of the people attend to their business on those days. If the invited audience is from the overseas, the difference in time zone must be considered when scheduling the webinar.

Practicing on what you will present to the attendants days before the webinar is an integral part of the training. When in practice any misconceptions in the presentation will be identified. The webinar should be aimed at giving quality, and precise information and any error can make your attendees lose confidence in you. Therefore, regular practice will save you those frustrations that happen when you are caught off guard.

The people that you started with in your webinar may decide to stop attending after acquiring their desired knowledge. Getting new trainees demands a lot of advertisement and awareness program towards the targeted audience. Use social media, blogs and other advertising methods that you can afford for the webinar.
