Since the chat itself happens at a rapid pace, it's often difficult to note interesting facts and URLs as they appear live. Here's a place to take a more leisurely look. I've rearranged some of the pieces to try to capture the various threads of discussion (which sometimes get lost in the rush of live chat).
Please send email with your follow-on questions and comments, and suggestions for topics we should focus on in future sessions. So long as the volume of email responses is manageable, I'll post the most pertinent ones here for all to see.
These sessions are hosted by Richard Seltzer. If you would like to receive email reminders of our chat sessions, simply send a blank email message to businessonthewebchats-subscribe@yahoogroups.com or go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/businessonthewebchats and sign up there.
This is one of the longest-running chat programs on the Web. (Please let us know if you know of ones that are older.) We've been doing this since June 1996.

11:50 - Richard Seltzer
Welcome, Lisa. Please introduce yourself.
11:51 - Lisa Neal
Hi, Richard. I'm Lisa Neal, Editor-in-Chief of eLearn Magazine, www.elearnmag.org
11:57 - Richard Seltzer
Lisa -- I'm delighted that you've joined
us today. Do
you cover telephone-based training in your
elearning magazine?
11:58 - Lisa Neal
Richard, we cover all aspects of e-learning. Are you offering to write for us?
11:58 - Richard Seltzer
Lisa -- Sure, I'd be very interested.
11:55 - Alan Selig
Hi Richard and everyone: I am a Baptist minister
with a particular interest in developing professional communities on line.
I think teleseminars are one way to facilitate
that.
11:55 - Preston Campbell
Hi All! This is Preston. I am the author of
Teleseminar Success Secrets - the A-Z program on all aspects of making
big
profits with teleseminars.
11:55 - Jenny Hamby
Hi, everyone. Jenny Hamby here.
11:56 - Richard Seltzer
Welcome Preston, Jenny, and Rich. It's time
to start. Our topic today is "teleseminars and Preston and Jenny are our
experts. All, please introduce yourselves
and let us know your interests.
11:57 - Rich Bartko
Hello all, Been awhile since I've been around. Glad to see your efforts still going strong
Jenny and Preston -- for starters can you please
tell us about some courses you've been involved with that are based on
telephone concalls, and give us a sense of
what kinds of training are well-suited to that medium.
11:58 - Preston Campbell
Virtually any kind of buisiness and training can be done on a Teleseminar. I use them weekly for my coaching call. The great thing is that I can now coach people all over the countrhy
11:59 - Richard Seltzer
Preston -- what is your "coaching call"? Who is the audience? How many people involved? And what's the content?
11:59 - Richard Seltzer
Jenny -- what about you?
11:59 - Jenny Hamby
Most of the teleseminars I've been involved
in have been marketing and sales related. But as Preston said, they can
be
used for many different purposes and for practically
any type of business. As you may or may not
know, I'm a copywriter. I specialize in marketing "real world" seminars.
Teleseminars have been really useful in getting people in seats, by giving
them a taste of what's to come at the live event.
11:59 - Preston Campbell
With teleseminars you have global reach without any of the costs of travel
12:01 - Preston Campbell
I typically have 10 - 20 of my clients on a coaching call. I also use teleseminars as paid events. For example I've done them on marketing, ad copy and networking. I also use the calls to promote live talks
12:12 - Jenny Hamby
You can use them to train customers on how
to use a product.
You can use them to answer frequently asked questions that you get
from clients.
If you have employees spread out geographically, you can use them for
training vs. having folks travel.
12:13 - Preston Campbell
Here are 17 things you can do with teleseminars:
Jenny and Preston -- Do you have clients who use the "teleseminar"/concall as a decisionmaking mechanism?
12:14 - Preston Campbell
I use them all of the time for group meetings
I am managing a national roll out of a franchise and we are using telesemianrs
to educate investors, have decision
meetings.
12:15 - Lisa Neal
Do you think that as these seminars become
more heavily used by businesses, that people become overwhelmed by the
amount available and the saturation leads
to lower interest?
12:16 - Preston Campbell
There is always the issue of saturation, but if you target a hungry audience, it is a great way to deliver info
12:16 - Preston Campbell
People love my coaching calls, they don't have
to drive, they are in the comfort of their homes ... heck I usually have
a
glass of wine in front of me when I conduct
them
12:16 - Richard Seltzer
Preston -- It's common, I believe, to use concalls
in conjunction with face-to-face meetings or instead of them. What I
haven't seen but seems natural is a mode of
working where preliminary discussion takes place over the Internet, then
everyone connects by concall to firm up details,
arrive at decisions, and make commitments. Do you see any of that? In
other words, instead of the teleseminar being
the "pre-", the Internet is the "pre-" and the concall is the wrapup and
decision-making mechanism.
12:17 - Preston Campbell
People love the convenience and they are really proliferating. Buy you can burn out your list if you do them too often or if you don't offer fresh info
12:18 - Richard Seltzer
I've seen many instances of groups trying to
use the Internet as a substitute for face-to-face discussion, where just
a
couple people post and post and post; and
the rest lose track of what's going on or lose interest, and it takes forever
to
come to decisions, and then many people don't
feel committed to the decisions because they weren't deeply involved. I'd
think that a wrap-up concall session might
be a way of moving beyond that...
12:18 - Preston Campbell
Actual conversation is probably the most efficient
form of communicatoin ... since you can do them for FREE why not
just have the calls .. but yes you may send
out preliminary info over the internet ... that is what I so.
Preston -- My impression is that concalls are
very difficult to manage, even with just a handful of people involved.
How
do you get around that? Are your calls one-way
only -- with you able to talk and the others only able to listen? And do
you use any special tool or service that gives
you more than the usual control over your concalls?
12:01 - Preston Campbell
Actually teleseminars are very easy to manage... if you know what you are doing. The key is to provide the right kind of instructions.
12:02 - Richard Seltzer
Preston -- Please clarify and go into some
detail. I believe that management of such discussions is crucial and that
the
problems you would face are similar to the
problems that anyone faces with real-time discussion over the Internet.
12:06 - Alan Selig (Re: 12:04 - Jenny Hamby 'Getting 75-200+ people on a call...')
What kind of pre-meeting rules are established
in order to keep the chaos to a minimum? Did the presenter get a specific
period of time, followed by a Q/A time or
what?
12:08 - Richard Seltzer
Yes, Alan, that's the kind of info I'm looking
for. Is there only one speaker? Only one speaker at a time? A mechanism
for knowing when someone else wants to talk
and then passing the baton to that person? I'm used to such tools over
the
Internet with Placeware etc. But I'm clueless
as to how you would manage that in a concall.
12:07 - Richard Seltzer
Preston and Jenny -- I still need more detail
to understand how you could possibly manage 50 or 100 people on a
concall. What are you rules/protocols? And
do you have any technology management tools? (It's hard enough managing
10 people in a live chat session).
12:07 - Preston Campbell
You manage the call by giving instructions up front. What material to have. How to mute ... this is key
12:07 - Jenny Hamby
Well, for starters, if the call is open (you can hear everyone) you need to explain etiquette. For example, minimize your background noise or mute your phone ... introduce yourself, etc.
12:08 - Preston Campbell
if people know the "rules of the road" prior to the call, the norms of behavior, you have a big advantage starting out
12:08 - Jenny Hamby
Better yet, use a service that allows you to mute the callers
12:08 - Preston Campbell
Always tell people to turn off anything that makes noise cell phones, dogs, babies ... Avoid using cell phones and cordless phones, or speaker phones ... too much noies
12:08 - Richard Seltzer
Preston -- how do you "mute"? Is that feature built into the concall service you use? If so, what service do you use?
12:09 - Preston Campbell
The muting is provided by conference service
12:09 - Richard Seltzer
Jenny -- What service to you use? And do you
have a list of etiquette or protocol/rules that you could share with us?
(Perhaps point us to a Web page with that
info.)
12:09 - Jenny Hamby
Callers can often mute themselves by pressing *6 (*5 or *7 on some phones isn't it, Preston).
12:10 - Preston Campbell
Muting is typically *6 or just 6. Good muting service will tell you when you mute and unmute
12:10 - Richard Seltzer
Preston/Jenny -- If the audience is muted,
how do you know that an individual wants to speak? And how do you then
recognize and unmute that person?
12:10 - Preston Campbell
Muting on your phone if you have a display is best, because you can see if it is on. You have to control when people speak
12:10 - Jenny Hamby
Give the presentation first, then open the lines for questions toward the end. This allows you to deliver your content without lots of interruptions.
12:11 - Preston Campbell
You can also have a chat line going on your computer to let people send in questions while muting. You should have a second person help with this so you can focus on talking.
12:45 - Alan Selig
I'm still imagining 100 people all trying to talk at the same time when the Q&A period begins. How do you avoid that?
12:46 - Preston Campbell
You can coordinate all of the questions by
asking people to Instant Message to you or you just say "one at a time
please"
12:46 - Jenny Hamby
If you have hundreds on the phone, use the
email option that Preston mentioned earlier. Give participants an email
address to send questions to, and have someone
monitoring the email account for you.
12:47 - Preston Campbell
If you toggle the mute on and off, you can take a question, mute, answer, unmute, take another one, etc
12:47 - Jenny Hamby
I've been on calls like that. It seems like
most people are pretty shy about asking questions, so you'll have a couple
fighting to speak, not dozens.
12:47 - Preston Campbell
Jenny is right, most people don't ask questions
... in fact you need to stimulate people to ask as the host
Jenny -- ah, so you use "teleseminars" as a
tool to promote or get people ready for face-to-face events. Interesting.
Can
you give some examples? And how many people
are typically involved in the concall?
Preston Campell
I typically do smaller free teleseminars to promote other events and products (by small I mean 50-60 people
12:02 - Jenny Hamby
For example, Preston and I just attended Armand Morin's Big Seminar in Dallas.
12:02 - Preston Campbell
Great example Jenny! Armand had a series of calls done by experts who would be speaking.
12:03 - Jenny Hamby
Once a week leading up to the event, Armand
hosted a teleseminar featuring one of the speakers (there were 12 total,
if
memory serves. ;-) You could sign up
for notification about the preview calls in case you weren't sure about
attending.
12:03 - Richard Seltzer
Jenny -- what is Armand Morin's "Big Seminar"?
What's the topic? And how many people were involved in the related
teleseminar?
12:04 - Jenny Hamby
The Big Seminar focused on Internet marketing.
12:04 - Preston Campbell
Armand topic was Internet Marketing ... sign
up cost about $1000 When you consider that people have a lot of
expense, they want to know about the speakers
and the quality of the event ahead of time. Armand let people experience
the speakers first hand prior to attending by holding the telesemianrs
12:04 - Jenny Hamby
Getting 75-200+ people on a call. He ended up with 163 people at the event -- amazing considering how poorly the seminar industry is doing right now
12:05 - Preston Campbell
He got all those people by creating credibility
up front ...The teleseminars can also be used for affiliates to drive their
prospects to the calls and get more people
to sign up.
12:05 - Jenny Hamby
Teleseminars can also be great lead generators -- and list builders -- for your business.
12:04 - Richard Seltzer
Jenny -- The idea of pre-events is very interesting.
I'd think there'd be a market for doing those over the Internet as well.
Do you do that? Or do competitors of yours?
From your perspective, what's the advantage of doing it over the phone
rather than over the Internet? And do you
sometime mix Internet and phone capabilities?
Richard Seltzer
Approximately what's the cost for putting on such a teleseminar?
12:07 - Jenny Hamby
Cost depends on many factors ... I'll turn that over to Preston to elaborate.
12:07 - Preston Campbell
I help promote and produce teleseminars I also have a course on how to do them ..
12:11 - Richard Seltzer
Can you tell us about other examples, with costs please?
12:11 - Preston Campbell
I uese teleseminars as paid events, for instance, My Power Networking Teleclass in September 2002.
Event description: Three hour Teleseminar on
how to profit by building a network
Promotion: E-mail to very small list, distributed
flyers during presentations to local chambers and asking friends to spread
the word.
Expenses: Roughly $200 for flyers. I used
a FREE teleconference service.
Time consumed: About two hours to produce
and copy flyers, about 4 hours to prepare the seminar outline (based on
an eBook I wrote earlier in the year), 3 1/2
hours to conduct the Teleseminar, 1 hour to edit the audio, upload it to
my
web site and send it out to the participants.
Fee: $69
Registrations: 39 people
Total Registration Sales: $2691
Back-end: Two coaching clients at $500/month
for 6 months - $6000 total
Gross sales: $8691
Net sales: $8491
Was it worth it? ... lets see, $8461 for 10 1/2 hours of work. That’s about $805 an hour. Not bad.
12:19 - Richard Seltzer
Preston -- in your "coaching" calls, who are you coaching and what are you coaching them about?
12:19 - Alan Selig (Re: 12:17 - Preston Campbell 'you can burn out your list if you do them...')
Preston: How often do you do your "coaching calls"?
12:24 - Preston Campbell
My coaching calls are once a week with coaching and consulting clients, on Marketing, many topics ... I have a new program that will actually be a combination membership site and marketing training calls .. to be released in about a month. I also do one-on-one calls specifically focused on each clients issues
12:20 - Richard Seltzer
Preston and Jenny -- Do you strictly deal with
companies? Do you work with any educational institutions as well --
either traditional schools or Internet-based
distance education ventures?
12:20 - Preston Campbell
One week we talk about figuring out the clients USP another might be on Joint Ventures etc I have one client who is a non-profit Grief Support Network
12:21 - Jenny Hamby
I deal with both ... though with more companies.
12:21 - Preston Campbell
I haven't used teleseminars for education institutions, but have a program on the drawing board to offer to them
12:22 - Richard Seltzer
Preston -- what is "USP"? Do you mean that
you are coaching people who work with you in producing teleseminars for
clients?
12:22 - Preston Campbell
USP - is your Unique Selling Proposition - coined by a great Ad man .. Rosser Reeves
12:24 - Richard Seltzer
Preston -- re: "Unique Selling Proposition"
-- so are your coaching calls with your sales force? And, yes, how often
do
you hold those?
12:21 - Richard Seltzer
Jenny and Preston -- perhaps you've mentioned
this before and I missed it -- what's the typical cost for a company that
wants you to hold a teleseminar for them --
for instance, one involving 100 people from all over the US.?
12:21 - Preston Campbell
You can do a teleseminar for free for up to 96 people. The company is www.freeconferencecall.com
12:23 - Richard Seltzer
Preston -- What do you mean "for free"? Do
you mean that as a marketing tool, you are willing to do one without your
charging to give a company a sense of how
this works? What about the concall service? Don't they have to pay for
that
in any case? And what's the typical cost of
that for your "free" 96 person teleseminar?
12:23 - Preston Campbell
Anyone can go to that site and set up a conference
line (phone number and pin) that you can use over and over any time
They make their money on add-on. Anyone
can go to FreeConferencecall.com and get free teleconference service
Preston -- I can imagine using the Internet
in coordination with a teleseminar. But is there a particular service or
software
package that is designed to support that hybrid
set of capabilities?
12:13 - Preston Campbell
Well, frankly, I just send out notes ahead of the teleseminar and use basic chat Internet messageing services
12:13 - Richard Seltzer
Do you typically have Web-based elements to support that training -- bulletinboards/weboards/forums or chat or posting of background info?
12:24 - Debi (Re: 12:18 - Richard Seltzer 'I've seen many instances of groups trying to use the...')
Is there any capacity for visual feed and/or document upload to share with a group of participants?
12:25 - Preston Campbell
For visuals I always have lecture notes or a powerpoint presentation
12:25 - Richard Seltzer
Preston -- Are these ordinary phone calls? Or is it voice over IP?
12:25 - Debi
And how is that shared online?
12:26 - Preston Campbell
To see how visuals are used go to http://www.profitzonemarketing.com/specialoffer.htm
12:26 - Richard Seltzer
Preston -- please explain. There has to be
a catch. What's the business model of FreeConferencecall.com? How do they
make money? What is their incentive for providing
a free teleconference service?
12:27 - Preston Campbell
FreeConferenceCall.com make money on paid services
such as operator assistance, larger calls, webcasting, datacasting
etc.
12:28 - Debi
Does it have to be "free" to participants?
I.e., if I were to have a group forum for my coaching, how would I charge
for
it?
12:28 - Preston Campbell
if you go to my marketing website above, you
can download one of my teleseminars and the presentation that I sent out.
I charged $69 a person for this event
12:28 - Richard Seltzer
Jenny and Preston -- Do you only produce teleseminars
that customers ask you to? Or do you produce and market
some teleseminars yourselves (where you line
up the speakers and advertise the event)?
12:28 - Debi
And, would I have to share any proceeds with your firm?
12:29 - Richard Seltzer
Preston -- Do you typically charge the members
of the audience? Or do you sometimes charge a corporate client for an
entire events?
12:29 - Jenny Hamby
So far I've only promoted teleseminars for
clients. Doing my own is on my to-do list and shooting rapidly toward the
top.
;-)
12:29 - Preston Campbell
I usually produce my own teleseminars. If i
were to produce one for you we would work out the fee based on the
amount of effort I need to give.
12:30 - Richard Seltzer
Jenny -- what about the teleseminars that you
do in conjunction with face-to-face shows? Aren't those done for the
show producer and paid for by the show producer?
Or are you just working in cooperation with the show folks?
12:32 - Jenny Hamby
I help plan the marketing of the free teleseminars
and paid, live events and create the marketing materials. The seminar
provider pays my fee and the direct costs
of the call.
12:26 - Richard Seltzer
Preston -- Do your teleseminar calls always
involve an Internet component (so
you can have visuals)? If that is the case,
do you use any special presentation software for the Internet piece?
12:26 - Jenny Hamby (Re: 12:25 - Debi 'And how is that shared online?...')
You can share notes and presentation materials
by emailing them in advance or by sending people to your website to
download them
12:27 - Preston Campbell
Jenny, you got it I mail the material in advance .. actually put it on a download link
12:31 - Richard Seltzer
Jenny and Preston -- Considering the Web-based
element, have you ever used webcams? Do you find any value in
showing talking heads (either still or moving)?
12:29 - Debi
Webcasting would include audiovisual feed from source only?
12:30 - Preston Campbell
Webcasting involves the teleconference service broadcasting your presentation to all the viewers through a website
12:48 - Richard Seltzer
Jenny and Preston -- It's interesting how simple
apps, like email and instant messenger -- used in coordination with an
ordinary concall can produce very interesting
results. Sounds like you don't really need a be-all and do-all super
application or service.
12:49 - Preston Campbell
Just e-mail material in advance, use of download links and your teleseminar are a very powerful combination
12:39 - Richard Seltzer
Jenny and Preston -- have you been in touch
with uliveandlearn.com? It's run by Denise Easton. She's very interested
in
mixed media for education; and in multiple
ways of delivering educational content. What you do would make an
interesting addition to her present mix.
12:40 - Preston Campbell
I've heard of her, seen some of her stuff, haven't contacted her
12:40 - Jenny Hamby
Me neither.
Jenny, how far in advance do you recommend mktg a teleseminar?
12:34 - Richard Seltzer
Jenny -- Thinking again about your pre-event
teleseminars, what's the business model? Is the main aim to collect revenue
from the attendees of the teleseminar? Or
is it to drive up participation in the face-to-face event?
12:35 - Jenny Hamby
Drive up participation in the main event.
12:35 - Richard Seltzer
Jenny -- So in that case, you must be paid by the event producer rather than the teleseminar participants? Is that right?
12:35 - Jenny Hamby
The goal is to get people in the paid seminar.
If you're asking people to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on
registration and travel, you need to show
them that you can produce the goods. Assuming you mean me personally, yes,
I would be paid by the event producer. Registration would be handled through
the registration producer, and all marketing
would come from that individual/organization, as well.
13:00 - Debi
I would love to have a chat on marketing teleseminars.
Preston and Jenny -- I'd think that your technique
could/should also be used to market training/courses. An online school
or a college could for instance highlight
one professor per session, giving potential students a chance to sample
what it
would be like to take a course with that professor.
Have you done any of that?
12:37 - Richard Seltzer
Preston and Jenny -- Have you approached universities
as potential customers? I'm thinking for instance about the online
courses that many colleges are now offering
for alums. I'd expect that they could get higher participation if a teleseminar
(like you've described) were the centerpiece,
instead of just text chat and forums.
12:37 - Preston Campbell
I haven't, but am generating a program for educational institutions
12:37 - Jenny Hamby
Although they are a target audience, I have not approached them.
12:38 - Preston Campbell
Educational institutions would really benefit
from teleseminars in their distance learning. I'm shocked they are
not all using it
12:48 - Preston Campbell
coachingU.com teaches teleseminar based classes
12:49 - Richard Seltzer
Preston -- what are the topics of courses from coachingU.com?
12:49 - Preston Campbell
They teach you how to coach. A very extensive curriculum ... you should go look
13:18 - Rich Bartko
Preston, have you been involved in CoachU? I followed the Coaching U crowd for awhile and wondered why more of those folks didn't use this online method along with teleconferencing.
12:48 - Jenny Hamby
No, I haven't worked with higher ed in this
area. I've been primarily focused on working with speakers, consultants
and
information marketers.
Preston and Jenny -- Do you sometimes put on
"series"? In other words, a sequence of teleseminar sessions designed to
teach/train topics too complex to handle in
just an hour or two? If so, on what topics?
12:39 - Preston Campbell
Yes I do series sometimes
12:39 - Jenny Hamby
Yes, series can be good when a topic is complex.
12:39 - Preston Campbell
the maximum length I'll do a individual seminar is 3 hours. A series of one hour each can sometimes be better
12:39 - Jenny Hamby
I have some clients who do multi-week teleseminars -- 8-12 weeks. However, from personal experience, I find this can be too much. If possible, I would suggest breaking the topic into smaller chunks/mini-teleseminars.
12:40 - Richard Seltzer
Jenny -- those clients with multi-week seminars,
what are the topics? (Just to get a sense of what topics work best in this
medium).
12:41 - Preston Campbell
Some multi-week (look Jenny a hyphen) teleminars include sales training, marketing, how to create a product. My coaching program is a multi-week teleseminar
12:41 - Richard Seltzer
Jenny and Preston -- Do you both agree that an hour is a good length for an individual teleseminar session?
Preston Campbell
I actually like an hour, but often program 20 to 30 minutes for Q&A. So the total would be 90 minutes.
12:42 - Jenny Hamby
60-90 minutes is good for an individual session. Beyond 90 minutes and you should really give participants a break.
12:43 - Preston Campbell
In fact program a "2 minute" bathroom break at 45 min if you plan to go 90 min or more
12:43 - Richard Seltzer
Preston and Jenny -- Do you sometimes/often
have a part of the program set aside for one-way lecture style
presentation, followed by Q&A? Or, typically,
can the audience "raise hands" and "get the microphone" at any time?
12:44 - Jenny Hamby
If the call is small (like 10 people) where
open lines are not distracting, questions can be interjected at any time.
Do you have the capacity to create a transcript of the teleconference for future reference?
12:31 - Preston Campbell
You need to record the call to get a transcript. I record my own on both cassette and digitally on my computer. I record almost all of my calls. The teleconference service will charge about $25/hour. The transcriptionist will charge about $50-$80 for an hour of call.
12:32 - Richard Seltzer
Preston -- Do you sometimes then post the audio
on the Web? Or
transcribe by hand and post the text on the
Web? (I find that the transcripts of these chat programs are often far
more
valuable than the live event.)
12:33 - Preston Campbell
Go to my home page www.profitzonemarketing.com you get an offer for my Joint Venture talk and the notes. This came from a coaching call that I recorded. If you go to the sites I mention above you can get the audio (streaming or download).
12:34 - Jenny Hamby
I always recommend that clients record teleseminars.
This allows them to sell downloadable audio files and a transcript
as a product.
12:34 - Preston Campbell
yes, I always make the audio available after the call
12:34 - Jenny Hamby
It can be particularly useful when your mailing
list is small and the chances of filling another teleseminar on the same
topic
are slim.
12:35 - Richard Seltzer
Preston -- by "available" do you mean over
the Web? Or do you have a phone number that people can call to hear the
audio over the telephone after the event is
over?
12:35 - Preston Campbell
I have a download link to get the audio
12:44 - Preston Campbell
I use many formats, lecture, interview, panel, facilitated mastermind, hotseats, etc ... size and purpose dictate the format
12:44 - Richard Seltzer
Jenny and Preston -- Also, do you ever give
participant opportunities to pose followup questions by email and/or
through online forums/webboards?
12:44 - Jenny Hamby
This works well for, say, a coaching program,
certification program, etc.
Yes, you can and should give the opportunity for followup questions.
