Keeping your conference call products interesting is important.
After all, if people don't find your teleseminars interesting they aren't going to listen to them.
And they certainly aren't going to pay good money for recordings of them afterwards! But how do you host an interesting conference call or teleseminar? And more importantly how do you do it consistently? To answer those questions we need to first off determine how the audience decides a teleseminar is interesting.
Effectively we need to determine what defines quality in an audio performance such as a conference call or teleseminar.
One of the best frameworks for determining the quality of any form of learning content is the COD model Content, organization and delivery.
These are the three key underpinnings of how your audience will determine the quality of your teleseminar.
Of course your audience can't judge your content directly.
Instead the key to producing an interesting teleseminar is to have relevant content.
Is the content in your teleseminar relevant to your audience? Does it meet their needs? Does it focus on their problems? Does it show them how to solve their problems, achieve their dreams or avoid their fears? Your conference call or teleseminar must focus on the audience...
during subject or topic determination and during the design and delivery in order to be interesting.
Your conference call or teleseminar must focus on motivating the audience in order to be interesting.
Organization is perhaps less important than the other two to keeping your teleseminar or conference call interesting.
However, it is still very important.
Does your argument make logical sense? Is it in the right order? Do you go off on irrelevant tangents? All of these are important organizational feature when trying to create an interesting conference call.
But there's more to organization than the order and the major points.
Is the information simple enough to be followed? Is it too complex? Are you trying to make too many points at any time? Our ears are important to learning.
But so are our eyes.
We learn best if we can both hear and see at the same time and if we do immediately after.
Unfortunately, audio learning content products such as a conference call or teleseminar allow us only to hear.
We need to organize the content to consider that limitation.
We need to simplify the presentation appropriately.
Finally, keeping your conference calls and teleseminars interesting is a matter of delivery.
Your ability to speak is crucial.
Hems, hahs, and umms will be amplified.
Dead air will irritate.
You need to practice and review, practice and review, over and over.
Your voice needs to vary in pitch and show your passion for your subject.
Droning on and on just won't cut it.
