Grab Their Attention
Using this seminar style platform to present convincing and attention grabbing material on the coaching programs will get the initial stage successfully accomplished. Once this stage of imparting information has been achieved, the individual can then take the next step which is to get the prospect more involved in the possibility of making a firm commitment.
Though it is not really necessary to charge a fee for attending such seminars, research has shown that a nominal fee charged would further ensure the commitment of attending the seminar on the part of the prospects. Having paid for the session, the prospect would be more that likely to already have a preexisting interest in the topic, thus the commitment to attend. This is of course a good indicator to the ideal prospect for approaching to draw out a further and more firm commitment from them.
At the seminar, the information provided should be carefully designed, as this could be the only time available to the individual to make an impression on the prospect. Therefore providing material in the form of pamphlets, brochures, CDs and any other supporting material that would be considered added value to attending the seminar should also be included.
