About this episode
Kurt Mortensen discusses techniques for keeping audiences engaged during virtual presentations and webinars.
THE LAW OF INVOLVEMENT: Keeping Your Audience Engaged Here's the secret weapon most online hosts completely miss: the Law of Involvement. The more you pull someone's five senses into the experience, get their mind and body actively participating, you can set the perfect atmosphere for persuasion. Think about it — your prospect can sit through an entire presentation, pretend to listen, and walk away feeling and doing absolutely nothing. Zero movement. Zero buy-in. As a true Power Persuader, your #1 job is to shrink the distance they have to travel to reach your goal. Make it ridiculously easy — mentally, socially, and physically — for them to say "yes." So here's the million-dollar question for your world of online meetings and webinars: · How do you keep that same level of attention when everyone's staring at a screen? · How do you create real engagement when you're not even in the same room? · How to Run Powerful, Engaging Webinars That Drive Real Results? Discover more online engagement techniques on this week's podcast. I will identify the steps on how to run engaging webinars & influential virtual events that drive real results.
