It doesn't matter what kind of the particular method is used. But efforts must be concentrated on one goal. The goal is to set appointments. In case you are timid about asking for an appointment, you may want to reconsider holding a seminar. For instance, you may want to think about a new career, too. It would be better for you to pick one solicitation technique you feel comfortable with and use it.
Reason Three. Also one of the problems is the failure to put qualified prospects in the chairs. Most financial advisors have heard about sales that is a numbers game. These sales axioms have been heard from the day that they were licensed. And it's true. Partly the success of your seminar depends on the number of people in the room. But there is a need of real qualified prospects.
Reason Four. Moreover the problem is the failure to follow up correctly. In some way this is critical. To correct follow-up is not about making one call to participants who attended the seminar. Persistence is required, it's for sure. In case you do it right closing ratios can be increased from 20% to 40%. Management software can be used to make sure you don't forget.
A lot of participants can become "seminar angels". Also the same is for invite friends and associates to future events. Implementing follow-up strategies such as these will result in lots of new business opportunities.
