Effective Teleseminars: 3 Essential Tips

Teleseminars are especially effective marketing tools for service business owners and independent professionals. Many people want to hear your voice before they hire you. At the same time, they want the freedom to listen at their convenience, via an mp3 device while they're jogging, driving, multitasking or just hanging out.

I've used teleseminars to get clients ever since I began working online. Along the way I've made my own share of mistakes. Of course, I also learned a lot about what works.

Here are three tips that make a big difference to my clients (and I still have to be vigilant when I give my own teleseminars).

Effective Teleseminars: 3 Essential Tips

1 - Give your audience a replay.

Currently many marketers are holding back on sharing replays of calls. Frankly, I think they're showing disrespect for other people's time. Are we supposed to cancel a dentist appointment or a meeting with an out of town friend to listen to a call? I don't think so.

Of course you want to create a sense of urgency. I admit I'll listen to a replay if I know it's going to disappear, as compared to something I can store forever on my hard drive. Give listeners 24-48 hours to listen online.

In today's world, nearly everything is geared up for later listening - episodes from Downton Abbey, library podcasts and even university classes. If you're not part of this trend, you will come across as operating in scarcity mode.

2 - Listen to your own talk.

Don't forget to listen yourself to your own teleseminar. I'm a very experienced speaker, yet recently I caught myself saying more "ums" and taking long pauses. Well, they're not long in conversation or a live speech, but in a recording they seemed to last forever.

Your voice should be confident and fast-paced. Many experts recommend speaking at a more rapid pace than you would in ordinary conversation.

Practice when you're talking on the phone to ordinary friends. If your conversation partners seem to be getting impatient to get off the line, or if they say things like, "Can we get to the point?" they're giving you valuable hints.

3 - Think in threes.

Recently I was planning a teleseminar for a specialized audience in an organization. I kept wanting to give them more and more information. Fortunately, I remembered the Rule of 3.

Speech patterns of three occur all over the world. Some communicators think there's a hypnotic component to using the "three" rule; I'm not sure myself, but I know the convention appears all over the world.

Focus on three take-aways and plan your call around them. Most listeners will remember three takeaways; they'lll get confused when you pile on more info. In a university classroom, where you'll be testing students on what you present, you can get away with a lot more. In a marketing context? No way!

Where to learn more:

Of course you can write a whole report on teleseminar marketing and many people have developed courses and programs. Some last several weeks and cost thousands of dollars.

In today's market, teleseminars are more competitive. Make sure you want to work in this medium before investing substantially.

Public Speaking - 5 Tips for Getting Past the Ums And Ahs So Your Message Gets Through Loud & Clear

Public speaking is a powerful way for a solo professional or small business owner to market your business. So is presenting teleseminars. But what happens when you get stuck saying too many ums and ahs? Should you quit speaking in favor of other marketing methods? Here is an actual panicked message I received from a client followed by my response:

"Help! I just listened to myself speak on a recording and I had to stop it within a minute. The Ummmss and Ahhhss were horrendous -- 4 or 5 within that time frame! I plan to conduct many teleseminars and do public speaking and this just has to stop now."

Here are the top 5 most effective ways to get past the ums so your message comes through loud and clear:

Public Speaking - 5 Tips for Getting Past the Ums And Ahs So Your Message Gets Through Loud & Clear

1.Practice Out Loud

If you have a tendency to um and uh, the reason is often because you have an idea of what you want to say next, but you're not totally certain. So you insert a verbal filler to fill the space while you figure out the next word. Practicing out loud will get you to the point where you are completely comfortable with what you're saying, and therefore not have the need to um or uh (or at least greatly reduce it). If you plan on delivering the same material multiple times, you'll have to practice much less often as you gain more experience. If you can, record yourself while practicing so you can hear where you tend to um and uh the most.

2. Work From Detailed Notes and Not a Script

You'd think a word-for-word script would make it easier to stop the ums... and it can. But only if you have experience making a script sound natural. Otherwise you'll sound like you're reading. That's the opposite extreme of um and uh and sounds just as bad.

3. Be Aware

This is important. Many people have no idea they rely on verbal pauses or disfluencies until they hear themselves on a recording. The first step in overcoming from any addiction is to recognize and acknowledge you have one. And truly, people who say um and uh too much are addicted to their crutch words. Simply knowing you make this mistake will get you that much closer to stopping it.

4. Pay Attention

Listen to yourself as you present your speech or teleseminar. Do not think about anything else other than what you are saying, how you are saying it and your audience: IN THAT MOMENT. People will um and uh when they are distracted from their planned comments. For example, while on a teleseminar, shut down your email and other instant message features so you won't be visually interrupted (sometimes just the sound of those things can distract you enough to trigger an um.) Don't try to multi-task while leading a call or doing any type of presentation.

5. Connect with Your Audience

Here's a fun test to do the next time you're practicing with a friend: try to say um while making direct eye contact. It's nearly impossible. Why? Because you're having a conversation and um isn't a word. Um doesn't fit and doesn't make sense. While you're having a 1:1 conversation, you would likely avoid um and uh. Make your presentations much more conversational and your um and uh will disappear.

Is it crucial to get rid of all the ums and uhs? Experts disagree, but in my decades of experience as a speaker, audience member, and instructor, I haven't thought less of a speaker who had outstanding content with an occasional um or uh. You don't have to eliminate every um and uh when the rest of your message is solid. The time to get concerned is when your audience is listening for your next um instead of paying attention to your message. So fix what you can, give yourself a break, and um, keep on public speaking.

How to Deal With Overbearing Personalities

Well all have those people in life who are just a little bit wearing on the spirit. You know who I mean. Their intentions are good, yet they always manage to stir things up. Sometimes it feels like you can't get anything done when they're around. They're criticizing, they're correcting, they're meddling. They're giving you all the reasons why you can't (when you know that you CAN!).

So how do you accomplish anything when overbearing friends and relatives are all up in your face and playing self-appointed cruise director or drill sergeant? How to maintain some semblance of self-respect and dignity around these people?

1. Erect boundaries. Although at times you feel like booting the overbearing person right out of your life... we all know that this is not always possible. Maybe they're your coworker, someone in your circle of friends... maybe it's your mother or your brother! The best thing to do in that case is to keep it on friendly terms but control the situation. Some ideas:

How to Deal With Overbearing Personalities

o Relocate. If you live with them... move out! It's not healthy to be around someone who is impeding your personal growth. No need to broach this topic in an accusatory way. Just explain that it's time to make a go of it on your own.

o Limit contact. If they're a frequent visitor... try to arrange it so they're only showing up X times in a month. Politely discourage drop-in visits and weekend stays if you can.

o Limit context. For example, if it's your coworker, keep it friendly at the office but don't go out of your way to hang with them at happy hour.

2. Let go of the guilt. Just because you love someone doesn't mean you have to like them. Many people suffer a great deal of unnecessary guilt over this. They think that because they feel annoyed, angered and hurt by overbearing friends and family members, that they're a bad person. Some reminders:

o Be choosy about what you share. You're not obliged to reveal everything about your life to this person. If your gut tells you that something is better left unsaid, then go with that thought.

o Counseling or coaching can help. If the overbearing person has had a hold on you for your whole life, you may harbor some hostility and resentment. An impartial outsider can often be hugely helpful when you just want to let go of these feelings and move forward with things.

o Different people can serve different purposes in your life. You may have another person you're close to who fulfills you in a different way than this person does. Know that this is perfectly healthy and a way to gain equilibrium in your relationships.

3. Try to put the overbearing personality to constructive use. Sometimes people who want to control everything just don't have enough going on in their own lives. If there's no getting rid of them, at least make their tendencies work for you. Give them a task or project to complete and it might just make them happier.

o Put them in charge. The truth is that most people are not great at leading others or organizing themselves. If there's an event that needs managing, why not put the overbearing person at the helm of the project?

o Offer up the floor. For the times that you're forced to be with them, it's worth keeping the peace by making the overbearing person the center of attention. At least you'll know that it will only be for a little while.

o Learn something from them. Get past the emotional turmoil they've caused you in the past. Recognize that everyone has something to share - even those whose delivery isn't always the smoothest. Who knows... if you listen, you might learn something!

4. Let them go. When all else fails, you can always say goodbye. Sometimes we're just better off losing the baggage that comes with one too many overbearing personalities in our lives. This is why people divorce, change friends, move far away from their families and search for new jobs. You may need to do some serious soul-searching before you make a decision. Know that this is a good and healthy process to put yourself through.

Top EFT Tapping Tips & Affirmations

Ever since I've discovered the Emotional Freedom Techniques and experienced how life-changing they can be, I have had a passion for sharing them with others. I decided to learn from the best about the most effective ways to get results.

I've spent over a year learning about EFT; researching, listening to teleseminars, radio programs and reading articles. I paid close attention to everything and I took a lot of notes.

Now I'm sharing all of the most valuable EFT tapping tips that I have found for people who want to get the most out of using the Emotional Freedom Techniques on themselves. Here are a few:

Top EFT Tapping Tips & Affirmations

LEARN ABOUT THESE TIPS BEFORE YOU TAP:

1. Drink a full glass of water before tapping to stimulate and prepare your body's electrical system

2. You can tap down either side of your body with either or even both hands, or try alternating

3. Don't tap too hard. Use the same amount of pressure you would as if you were drumming your fingers on a table.

4. Take a slow deep breath after you complete a round of tapping to help move the energy through your body

5. Yawning during tapping is a sign that you are releasing energy, so let out the yawns and keep going

6. When you tap along with a group of others (either live or via recording), you will experience "borrowing benefits" whether or not you are the "primary tapper". So always tap along.

7. The key to tapping is to "tune in" and always ask yourself "How does this make me feel?" and that will be your guide.

It's actually common for people to have anxiety about not knowing what to say when they tap for themselves. The good news is - there isn't a wrong way to do EFT, you can't make a mistake or hurt yourself.

If you're having issues about knowing what to say, then choose from these powerful EFT affirmation phrases to help you move forward. These examples were drawn from actual EFT tutorials given by several of the top EFT practitioners in the field.

Here's a list of the most powerful EFT affirmation phrases to use while tapping:

I choose to...
I prefer to...
I intend to...
I decided to...
I embrace...
I love feeling...
And you can mix and match these positive affirmations with one of these many helpful phrases:

...love and accept myself anyway
...forgive myself for feeling...
...know I did the best that I could
...accept things just as they are
...be okay with where I am NOW
...feel safe
...be at peace
...feel powerful
...be inspired
...feel calm and confident
...trust my inner guidance
...release the need to...
...let go of the guilt, the shame, the resentment, the fear...

Some people get bored repeating the typical "I deeply and completely love and accept myself" affirmation. This mix of EFT phrases can help to stimulate a more specific reaction and better clearing. Play around with them and add your own words.

As always, to get the best results with EFT, tune into your feelings and intuition and let them guide you. Of course if you're still having trouble clearing your limiting beliefs on your own, then visit an EFT practitioner because this technique works for everyone and you just might need a little extra guidance.

Helpful Tips For Training New Staff Members

Providing appropriate initial and ongoing training for new staff members is essential, not only in terms of preparing individuals for their new position, but also in retaining them for a longer period of time. Trained staff members are more knowledgeable and possess a diverse array of skills, enabling them to provide quality services that help the organization accomplish its mission. This article provides useful tips for training new staff members.

1. Upon hire, all new staff members should participate in an employee orientation program. Determine who and how many individuals will orient the new staff member. Will it be the new hire's immediate supervisor, a human resources (HR) employee, some other individual (e.g., former employee), or a combination of these individuals? For example, the immediate supervisor may provide specific training regarding the new employee's job duties and responsibilities, while a HR representative may provide a general orientation to the organization's programs and services. Regardless of who conducts the training, an orientation training schedule should be developed for each new employee (e.g., who s/he will meet with, when they will meet, and what will be covered).

2. Develop an employee orientation program that includes, but is not limited to, the following components:

Helpful Tips For Training New Staff Members

a. An overview of the organization, including its mission, vision, programs, services, staff members, board of directors, collaborative relationships, funding sources, etc.

b. An overview of the position's job duties (highlighting all essential functions), responsibilities, and work expectations (e.g., travel, evening and weekend hours).

c. An overview of all employee benefits, including, but not limited to, medical, dental, and vision insurance; short-term and long-term disability insurance; life insurance policy; 401 k plan or other retirement plan; vacation, sick, and other types of leave; and other benefits, if applicable.

d. An overview of the organization's regular and personnel policies and procedures.

e. A tour of the organization's facility and introduction to all staff members.

f. Where the individual's office is, what equipment (with passwords, if needed) is available for him/her to use, and where s/he can access office supplies.

3. After orientation, there is usually training specific to the new employee's probationary period. Training during this period is generally more extensive, as you're trying to bring the employee up to speed, as quickly as possible. The main focus should be on the employee learning and becoming proficient at his/her job, how it relates to the organization's other positions, and how it helps the organization accomplish its mission. The new employee and his/her immediate supervisor should meet at least weekly to ensure the employee is learning and applying the knowledge and skills necessary for ultimate success.

4. As information and technology changes, new ideas and theories emerge, and research findings are made available daily, you'll want to provide opportunities for your staff to increase their knowledge and skills in areas critical to their respective jobs. Thus, an ongoing training program should be developed and implemented. Items to consider for an ongoing training program include:

a. Do you want the training to be conducted internally, by current members, former staff members, or board members? The latter two groups may include individuals who possess expertise in certain areas. You can also invite staff members from other organizations to present at a staff meeting.

b. What external training opportunities are available for your staff? Are there other nonprofit organizations or governmental agencies that provide training that could benefit your staff? Which organizations have workshops or annual conferences that your staff members have attended in the past?

c. Are you taking advantage of all of the different training modalities available today, such as teleclasses, teleseminars, and webinars? Your staff members can easily participate in these training events while remaining in the office, as they only need access to a computer and/or a phone.

d. Are there specific work-related books, e-books, newsletters, journals, magazines, or other publications that you want your staff members to read initially and/or on a regular basis?

e. Do you have a training budget in place for staff that provides ample opportunities for learning and growth? Although many organizations cut training when they are forced to tighten their belts, this may harm the organization in the long run, as their staff will have outdated knowledge and skills. In addition, when staff salaries are low, many employees see training opportunities as a benefit or plus, which could contribute to employee retention.

f. Do you maintain a list of training programs and resources that staff can easily access and review? Responsibility for updating and maintaining this list should be assigned to one employee (e.g., HR representative, training coordinator).

g. Have you developed and implemented an approval process for handling individual requests for training, including the appointment of a staff member (e.g., HR representative, training coordinator) to approve training requests? You want to ensure that all staff members are provided an opportunity for attending training events.

Providing initial and ongoing training to staff members is necessary in order to maintain a qualified pool of employees. The provision of diverse training opportunities can also result in employee retention, as staff members value training, understanding how important it is to keep their knowledge and skills fresh and current. Trained staff are better service providers, helping the organization carry out its mission in a more effective and efficient manner.

Turn Your Book Into a Movie

Whether it's a true story or a novel, most authors dream of having their book become a Hollywood movie.

In fact, a high percentage of movies started out as books, comic books or graphic novels. According to Internet Movie Data Base, over 22,000 movies have been made from books. So far.

If this is your dream, read on. One way to increase your chances of having your book turned into a movie is to write the screenplay version of the book. Producers prefer reading script to reading books because they take less time to read. Most scripts are 90 - 120 pages, with a lot of white space.

Turn Your Book Into a Movie

If you're thinking about writing your own screenplay, here are some things to keep in mind:

1. You must write the proper length (see above). Scripts that are too long or too short are immediately thrown away.

2. You must learn screenplay format. There are books that teach this. If your script does not follow proper format, it will be tossed without further consideration.

3. You must get the Hollywood reader's attention in less than 10 pages. This may mean adapting the beginning of your story. If you don't get their attention and interest soon, they move on to the next script.

4. A screenplay can only contain what can be shown on the screen -- action and dialogue. Unlike a novel, you can't write about what the character is thinking. But you can reveal their emotions and thoughts through action and dialogue.

5. Every scene must move the story forward in some way.

6. Don't "direct" the script. Don't put in camera angles or suggest particular songs to play in the background. That is the director's prerogative.

7. Consider eliminating subplots and combining two or more characters into one, that is, create composite characters, if there a lot of people in your book.

8. Keep the dialogue short. Novels have more freedom in that regard.

9. Watch lots of movies with the intent of noticing what works and what doesn't. It will help you become a better screenwriter.

10. Realize that a book is not a movie and a movie is not a book. They have different needs and different rules. Keep this in mind and you will be more successful at adapting your book into a movie.
