4 Tips to Successful Sales Out of Doing a Public Seminar

Wednesday, April 9, 2008

Seminars are one of the common ways for people gifted with good public speaking to make a profitable living. They are usually used as a platform in selling their products and to make connections with other businessmen and make business deals with them. There is a reasonable quantity of salesmanship around these seminars, but this is really a good way for someone to generate sales especially when the speakers know how to convince the audience well. Seminars usually differ in usefulness and price. Here are tips to generate good sales and a successful public seminar:



Use a title addressing your interest and agenda

Just as the headline of an ad catches peoples attention, the title of the seminar should be that important. As part of inviting people to come and listen to your seminar, create a title that addresses your interest and agenda. Your seminars title should provide a door for people to get a glimpse of what the seminar is all about. The more people attend, the more sales you generate. Additionally, you can provide people with a list of the main points you will be discussing.



Introduce the main speakers effectively

One of the reasons people listen to seminars is because of the main speaker who will discuss the whole point of the seminar. Note that a seminar is not all about conveying information to an audience. Provide a picture and a short biography of your main speaker or you might want to include the others too. One of your goals is to provide the people with the introduction of the main speaker prior to the seminar itself. If they like your speaker, naturally, they will listen to what he has to say.



Provide incentives for the attendees

Closing for appointments is an important part of increasing your sales. You may provide attendees with incentives after the seminar so they will have another reason to wait until the presentation is over. After the seminar, you might want to give these attendees you calling card. If any of these individuals want you to organize a seminar, guarantee that they'll have a successful seminar with a discounted price.



Give your main focus to the seminar itself

Last but most importantly, focus on the seminar. Attendees come to your seminar not only because they want to hear from the speaker but for the incentives you provide them or the catered lunches you have arranged. These people are likely to learn what the speakers say and perhaps they too can apply them for their own success.
