Hosting an educational Live Webinar or Client/Referral Dinner is a great way to educate, retain, and find new opportunities with your loyal clients. It is also an excellent way to gain more referrals. Here is an opportunity to spin off the Mini Mother Teresa Script to ask for names and emails of their friends to invite to this live webinar!
As many advisors are focusing on client review meetings over the phone, this is the optimal time to also be gathering referrals. Using the Mini Mother Teresa Script at the end of client review phone calls is a very soft approach to ask for referral names and emails. Remember, we never ask for phone numbers or addresses, as those are major reasons why clients won’t give us referrals!

There are several webinar platforms that you can choose to use for live webinars. We have used both GoToWebinar and Zoom, but there are others you can choose from as well. The choice is yours, and you are responsible for testing the technology prior to the webinar to ensure you don’t have any last-minute issues.

The “Live” campaigns will be for a scheduled date and time. The timeframe of the marketing campaigns are critical to the success of these webinars. If you start marketing it too far in advance, you will have a huge falloff in attendance. There are several additional steps you will need to take to reduce the falloff in attendance, as well as to engage the audience:

• Send the webinar link the morning of the webinar and 30 minutes prior
• Reminder call the day of the webinar
  • Staff can make the reminder call to all clients that said they wanted to attend
  • Calls should start 2+ hours prior to the webinar starting
• Integrate slides to the live webinar
  • Staff will have to be able to integrate slides at the appropriate times throughout the presentation
• These must be either cued by the advisor or staff following the script
• Engaging prospects during/after the webinar
  • As prospects type in questions, the advisor should recognize and engage these prospects by name
  • Either the staff holds up questions for advisor throughout, or the advisor is watching the computer, choosing when to bring up questions asked

15-minute Call Confirmation:

Once you have engaged and scheduled a “15-minute” call with a webinar prospects, make sure you send them both the confirmation package/folder and email. It’s even more important with webinar prospects, because they never got your workshop folders and
contents. You want to send a confirmation letter with the package, just like you normally do with regular workshop prospects that schedule appointments.

Confirmation Package/Folder:

Corona-Economy Confirm Letter/Email
Bio/Headshot
Business Card
Directions to Office
Company Brochure
1 or 2 Branded Commissioned Reports
