Using Feedback For Profitable Seminars

Wednesday, April 9, 2008

Seminars are an excellent way of showcasing your knowledge and skills. Once your seminar becomes effective, companies will readily want your service and this can lead to high profits! The effectiveness of a seminar however will rely on the persons or groups receiving it. Getting the peoples feedback about your seminar can really be beneficial to you.



How will you get the attendees feedback on a seminar? There are many ways of doing this but generally all feedback is done after the end of the workshop. The most common means is to distribute survey questionnaires eliciting the comments and suggestions of the participants. You can get examples of the questionnaires or modify your own. Some of the common parts are survey regarding the venue (if the place is conducive for the seminar), the food (does the food taste well), the speaker (expertise and knowledge) the conduct of the seminar and the topic discussed (was it informational and helpful).



With all the feedback from the participants, their first hand experiences can bring about changes on how your seminar can be presented. Feedback will lead to certain benefits such as it will help you with your planning the next time. With real facts coming from the attendees, you will know what did not work and what worked among your techniques. You can make a better presentation next time if the participants view that there is something lacking in it.



You can also compute for what will cost you on your next seminar with the use of feedback from the participants. If the participants commented that the materials used weren't sufficient and if the venue is not suitable for the conduct of training, this can help you seek a better location and better materials that can be supplemental for the learning process. You can have cost cutting measures and bidding processes and all will lead you to budget your resources better.



Customer feedback can also win you a new set of clients. If the participants gave positive feedback about your seminar, they can relate it to the other groups. This can also be a marketing scheme for you to prove that you have good seminars that are appreciated by many people. Through this, you are giving yourself an edge in the business.



Feedback on seminars can be positive or negative but altogether can help you improve your craft and can lead to your self fulfillment. Using the feedback can give you profits that you never imagined before. So collect all the feedback and use them for your success!
