How To Prepare For Compliance Webinars

By Matthew Gibson


For big companies and small business owners to conquer the current competition brought by the use of the internet, they have to be efficient and competent. Understanding the basics of running a computer program is not enough to help them market their products. However, some people have noticed this gap and organizing webinars where business executives and other employees attend learning session. Planning and organizing for webinars in not as easy as it may look and strategic measures should be taken towards its success. Here is a guide to preparing for compliance webinars.

Establishing the agenda and major topics to cover on your webinar is tricky. The topics chosen will determine the rate at which you will get participants. Reflecting the new challenges in technology is bound to attract more attention than discussing common topics on the webinar. The best presentations take not more than an hour to ensure your audience gets every detail.

When preparing training materials, ensure they are designed and formatted engagingly. The webinar should not be restricted to heavy contents that will intersperse with the speech of the presenter to avoid boredom. Webinars that use videos allow desktop sharing, and use images are more lively. The participants grasp the knowledge while enjoying their time simultaneously.

Successful training cannot be carried out by a single person. Extended hours covering and explaining different topics to the attendants is tiresome and ends up being monotonous to you trainees. Train a few professionals with vast knowledge on the topics beforehand to assist you on the webinar. The team will steer the training and help find new ideas to be included in the fore coming training.

The location of the presentation is detrimental in deciding how the presentations will be delivered. For instance, if you are using a space that has difficulty in accessing the internet, your webinar will fail from the start. Find a space where network for both wireless and fixed connections is excellent. Ensure microphones, power cables, and headsets are available and functional.

People need enough time to prepare psychologically and financially for training. Send invitations a few weeks to the webinar to give them sufficient time to confirm their participation. However, training that will be organized on holidays and weekends face a possibility of boycotted lessons, since this is their free and private times. Consulting the attendants on their days of preference can be ideal. In case you have trainees from other continents, consider the time difference to avoid inconveniencing them.

Practicing on what you will present to the attendants days before the webinar is an integral part of the training. When in practice any misconceptions in the presentation will be identified. The webinar should be aimed at giving quality, and precise information and any error can make your attendees lose confidence in you. Therefore, regular practice will save you those frustrations that happen when you are caught off guard.

Similar to any training forum, an awareness campaign should be carried weeks or months before the start day of the webinar. This can be expedited through traditional and digital advertisement strategies. Moreover, you can send written invitations to your regular attendants.
