The last thing you want to see is people leaving your webinar early and not hearing your offer. In this episode of the Influence By Design podcast, we have a fascinating conversation on how to create engaging webinars for higher conversion with Johnny Beirne.
Johnny has vast experience working for corporate multinationals and small businesses. He’s found success in creating and launching online courses and he’s enthusiastic to help others do the same.
Johnny is also a master of addressing the elephant in the room of webinars - death by PowerPoint, which is caused by different factors - numerous distractions, attention deficit, and sheer boredom.  
About 60% of people leave the webinar even before the host makes their offer, and this significantly impacts sales outcomes. Although it’s challenging to increase webinar engagement, he guarantees it's achievable. You can do so by tweaking and improving some of your systems and setups. 
If you want to avoid boring your audience and discover how you can create an interactive webinar that keeps your prospects hooked right to the very end, be sure to listen and WATCH Johnny demonstrate his tips and expertise.

Traditional sales process teaches asking question and navigating objections, but, it doesn't encourage depth and a genuine connection. In this episode of Influence By Design, we discuss how to have your customers buy without the hard sell with Annette Lackovic.
Annette is not your conventional business mentor; she’s living proof that basic business rules are made to be broken and recreated. She helps clients step into their true brilliance by unlocking their greatest potential, transforming communication skills, and helping businesses thrive financially. 
One of the challenges business owners have is the buyer's resistance to purchasing what they have to offer. But as a general rule, they’re not having the in-depth conversations that will ignite their emotions to buy. 
By utilising The Reverse Selling Method, impactful conversations through strategic questions are established. Annette shares how to promote authenticity and move away from the inflexibility of old sales processes by using this framework.
