118 - How to Encourage Comments and Interactions During a Live Online Training

Online presentation platforms are AWESOME (think Zoom Calls, Facebook LIVEs, Webinars). It's an ideal way to reach a lot of people in a really powerful, easy way to deliver trainings, create connection, sell stuff and get people using your product… BUT… One of the BIG problems we see is that even though there are LOTS of opportunities to create a dynamic back and forth between you and your audience - most people really end up offering a decidedly ONE way conversation in their online presentations… where they are essentially talking AT their audience. In this episode your hosts Suzi Dafnis and Michelle Falzon share their top 5 tips for encouraging comments and interaction during a live training.

Why it's SO crucial to acknowledge the early commenters (and how to do it so you create a flood of EXTRA comments and interactions) What you can do to get interaction that makes your audience feel comfortable The power of non-verbal feedback and how to get it How you are currently sabotaging the level of interaction you are getting on your live online presentations and the counterintuitive, slightly scary thing you need to do change it immediately (it's only scary once and then it's FUN!)
