Virtually Reimagined

00:00:00:04 - 00:00:06:20
Unknown
You're listening to the Virtually Reimagined podcast, where we talk about what it really looks like to run a business

00:00:06:20 - 00:00:09:15
Unknown
from a virtual office or virtual classroom.

00:00:09:15 - 00:00:11:15
Unknown
And I'm Betsy, your tech coach

00:00:11:15 - 00:00:15:05
Unknown
and zoom navigator. And today we're talking about a shift

00:00:15:05 - 00:00:19:10
Unknown
that can completely change how your next big event

00:00:19:10 - 00:00:22:13
Unknown
feels for you and for your audience.

00:00:22:13 - 00:00:25:13
Unknown
In this episode six, A virtually reimagined,

00:00:25:13 - 00:00:28:14
Unknown
we're talking about three top reasons

00:00:28:14 - 00:00:30:01
Unknown
to stop hosting

00:00:30:01 - 00:00:31:16
Unknown
those big events and why.

00:00:31:16 - 00:00:33:20
Unknown
Why would you stop hosting

00:00:33:20 - 00:00:36:08
Unknown
certain events in a certain way

00:00:36:08 - 00:00:38:15
Unknown
on zoom? And I'm going to take you through them.

00:00:38:15 - 00:00:40:07
Unknown
So let's go get started.

00:00:40:07 - 00:00:44:10
Unknown
So when it came time for me to think about this topic for you

00:00:44:10 - 00:00:46:14
Unknown
and put it together, I thought,

00:00:46:14 - 00:00:49:08
Unknown
you know, before I go into my three reasons

00:00:49:08 - 00:00:49:22
Unknown
why

00:00:49:22 - 00:00:54:17
Unknown
you would stop doing your big events on zoom

00:00:54:17 - 00:00:57:13
Unknown
while you're not stopping using zoom at all,

00:00:57:13 - 00:00:59:10
Unknown
you're stopping using

00:00:59:10 - 00:01:01:04
Unknown
the basic zoom meeting

00:01:01:04 - 00:01:02:02
Unknown
and why?

00:01:02:02 - 00:01:05:03
Unknown
And then I thought, well, let me bring you back a moment to

00:01:05:03 - 00:01:08:12
Unknown
make sure you know the difference between a zoom meeting

00:01:08:12 - 00:01:09:15
Unknown
and a zoom webinar.

00:01:09:15 - 00:01:11:03
Unknown
You know, the term webinar,

00:01:11:03 - 00:01:12:04
Unknown
if you go back,

00:01:12:04 - 00:01:13:22
Unknown
you know, at least six years or more

00:01:13:22 - 00:01:14:22
Unknown
before

00:01:14:22 - 00:01:15:18
Unknown
the abrupt

00:01:15:18 - 00:01:18:01
Unknown
worldwide shutdown during 2020,

00:01:18:01 - 00:01:24:12
Unknown
when we said we were taking a webinar. I'm going online to take a webinar as long as we had the internet around, right.

00:01:24:12 - 00:01:27:17
Unknown
So definitely for the last 25 years,

00:01:27:17 - 00:01:28:22
Unknown
taking a webinar

00:01:28:22 - 00:01:29:12
Unknown
meant,

00:01:29:12 - 00:01:31:23
Unknown
you know, going to some internet location

00:01:31:23 - 00:01:32:14
Unknown
and

00:01:32:14 - 00:01:33:14
Unknown
attending

00:01:33:14 - 00:01:34:09
Unknown
the training.

00:01:34:10 - 00:01:36:01
Unknown
Now, that could have been recorded.

00:01:36:01 - 00:01:38:07
Unknown
It could have been live, but rarely

00:01:38:07 - 00:01:42:12
Unknown
if ever, did you see the educator presenter, instructor.

00:01:42:12 - 00:01:46:13
Unknown
Now what we have in zoom terms, what we have

00:01:46:13 - 00:01:49:02
Unknown
are these two main categories

00:01:49:02 - 00:01:50:13
Unknown
where you have a zoom meeting

00:01:50:13 - 00:01:56:06
Unknown
and this is actually a zoom feature. So when we use these terms, I mean, in the zoom software,

00:01:56:06 - 00:01:57:02
Unknown
when you are

00:01:57:02 - 00:02:00:18
Unknown
inviting people to a zoom meeting, you are inviting them to an event

00:02:00:18 - 00:02:03:23
Unknown
where they have the ability to turn on their webcam

00:02:03:23 - 00:02:05:16
Unknown
and turn on their microphone,

00:02:05:16 - 00:02:07:14
Unknown
unless you have turned that off

00:02:07:14 - 00:02:08:18
Unknown
in some setting.

00:02:08:18 - 00:02:11:01
Unknown
And if you have turned off the ability

00:02:11:01 - 00:02:12:16
Unknown
for them to turn on their webcam

00:02:12:16 - 00:02:13:15
Unknown
in a meeting,

00:02:13:15 - 00:02:15:08
Unknown
they don't go away completely.

00:02:15:08 - 00:02:19:21
Unknown
You actually see their presence in the form of one of those

00:02:19:21 - 00:02:21:11
Unknown
boxes on the screen.

00:02:21:11 - 00:02:22:07
Unknown
So

00:02:22:07 - 00:02:26:06
Unknown
what we've come to know is people describe it as Hollywood Squares or,

00:02:26:06 - 00:02:29:09
Unknown
the gallery. Some people called it the Brady Bunch.

00:02:29:14 - 00:02:31:17
Unknown
If you're familiar with that TV show,

00:02:31:17 - 00:02:35:16
Unknown
it's those boxes on the screen. And those are called video thumbnails.

00:02:35:16 - 00:02:42:10
Unknown
And in that gallery, if you have turned off people's ability to use their camera, which, by the way, you can,

00:02:42:10 - 00:02:44:05
Unknown
you still see some

00:02:44:05 - 00:02:46:03
Unknown
representation of them.

00:02:46:03 - 00:02:47:09
Unknown
So either their name or

00:02:47:09 - 00:02:49:08
Unknown
whatever they're calling themselves.

00:02:49:08 - 00:02:54:01
Unknown
You can even turn off the fact that their picture shows that you do not see their live video.

00:02:54:01 - 00:02:56:05
Unknown
And you can make it so that they can't turn it on.

00:02:56:05 - 00:02:58:00
Unknown
You can do the same with a microphone.

00:02:58:00 - 00:03:01:12
Unknown
You can make it so that their microphone is muted and stays muted.

00:03:01:12 - 00:03:06:00
Unknown
So that's another topic for another day. And actually, if you're curious about

00:03:06:00 - 00:03:07:21
Unknown
how to do that in a zoom meeting,

00:03:07:21 - 00:03:09:04
Unknown
leave me a comment.

00:03:09:04 - 00:03:11:10
Unknown
and put the word security

00:03:11:10 - 00:03:13:20
Unknown
and I'll answer your questions on that.

00:03:13:20 - 00:03:15:19
Unknown
You know, how to make a meeting more secure.

00:03:15:19 - 00:03:17:11
Unknown
So that people can do that.

00:03:17:11 - 00:03:22:05
Unknown
Now, on the other hand, if you're using the zoom feature called a webinar,

00:03:22:05 - 00:03:27:01
Unknown
first of all, it is a little bit extra. It's a little extra add on

00:03:27:01 - 00:03:29:06
Unknown
to your Zoom Pro plan,

00:03:29:06 - 00:03:32:11
Unknown
and we'll get to that in a moment. We'll get to the pricing plans.

00:03:32:11 - 00:03:34:20
Unknown
But once you add on the webinar feature,

00:03:34:20 - 00:03:37:09
Unknown
what that allows you to do is conduct an event,

00:03:37:09 - 00:03:39:06
Unknown
know, be the host, be the presenter

00:03:39:06 - 00:03:40:03
Unknown
where

00:03:40:03 - 00:03:41:18
Unknown
everyone attending

00:03:41:18 - 00:03:44:14
Unknown
who is not presenting, you know, who is not a panelist.

00:03:44:14 - 00:03:46:11
Unknown
It introduces this new term

00:03:46:11 - 00:03:49:07
Unknown
where your speakers are considered panelists,

00:03:49:07 - 00:03:51:15
Unknown
but everyone who gets the link to attend.

00:03:51:15 - 00:03:53:10
Unknown
Is not on video at all.

00:03:53:10 - 00:03:57:21
Unknown
There isn't even a box or a video thumbnail or anything to represent them.

00:03:57:21 - 00:04:03:12
Unknown
And some people like this approach because if you are using a virtual event

00:04:03:12 - 00:04:05:18
Unknown
to maybe launch a new digital product

00:04:05:18 - 00:04:07:03
Unknown
and you would like to

00:04:07:03 - 00:04:08:15
Unknown
give your presentation

00:04:08:15 - 00:04:10:09
Unknown
without any interruption,

00:04:10:09 - 00:04:11:16
Unknown
and also have

00:04:11:16 - 00:04:15:06
Unknown
people who are attending not know how many other people are there,

00:04:15:06 - 00:04:16:17
Unknown
you can just present

00:04:16:17 - 00:04:18:15
Unknown
out into the world, into the public.

00:04:18:15 - 00:04:21:19
Unknown
And that's what a webinar gives you. People can show up in the

00:04:21:19 - 00:04:25:10
Unknown
Q and A and the chat, but you still don't know how many people are there.

00:04:25:10 - 00:04:30:14
Unknown
And so that's one of the benefits of going with a webinar as opposed to a meeting.

00:04:30:14 - 00:04:33:10
Unknown
Now, that actual feature

00:04:33:10 - 00:04:37:11
Unknown
does give you some behind the scenes as well. Some new reporting.

00:04:37:11 - 00:04:42:20
Unknown
And prior to what I'm going to tell you about today, those really were your only choices. You had

00:04:42:20 - 00:04:44:21
Unknown
meetings and you had webinars

00:04:44:21 - 00:04:46:21
Unknown
until recently,

00:04:46:21 - 00:04:48:11
Unknown
which is now called

00:04:48:11 - 00:04:49:23
Unknown
Webinars Plus,

00:04:49:23 - 00:04:52:03
Unknown
formerly known as Zoom Sessions.

00:04:52:03 - 00:04:53:18
Unknown
And it's like a wrapper

00:04:53:18 - 00:04:59:11
Unknown
around like a wrapping a big hug around your Zoom Workplace Pro

00:04:59:11 - 00:05:00:11
Unknown
application

00:05:00:11 - 00:05:01:04
Unknown
and plan.

00:05:01:04 - 00:05:03:05
Unknown
And so that's what we're going to talk about

00:05:03:05 - 00:05:06:14
Unknown
as I start with the pricing plans.

00:05:06:14 - 00:05:09:03
Unknown
So when Webinars Plus came on the scene,

00:05:09:03 - 00:05:14:19
Unknown
we only had the webinar add on at that point. And when you added on a webinar

00:05:14:19 - 00:05:16:01
Unknown
you added it on

00:05:16:01 - 00:05:17:03
Unknown
at a certain

00:05:17:03 - 00:05:20:01
Unknown
quantity or capacity for your audience.

00:05:20:01 - 00:05:21:06
Unknown
And many of these

00:05:21:06 - 00:05:24:00
Unknown
pricing plans and these prices are,

00:05:24:00 - 00:05:26:19
Unknown
you know, as of this recording. So they're always

00:05:26:19 - 00:05:28:04
Unknown
subject to change.

00:05:28:04 - 00:05:28:14
Unknown
But

00:05:28:14 - 00:05:30:18
Unknown
when you would add on

00:05:30:18 - 00:05:36:04
Unknown
for a webinar, you could add on like one month at a time. So you could just pay for a month,

00:05:36:04 - 00:05:37:11
Unknown
you had to pay for the whole month

00:05:37:11 - 00:05:42:16
Unknown
and you got a certain number of attendees. Like for instance, you could add on, you know, for one month,

00:05:42:16 - 00:05:43:13
Unknown
it would give you

00:05:43:13 - 00:05:47:00
Unknown
webinars that could hold 300 people or less.

00:05:47:00 - 00:05:50:06
Unknown
And it was, let's say $89 for that month.

00:05:50:06 - 00:05:53:08
Unknown
And then if you didn't cancel it, it would be $89 the next month,

00:05:53:08 - 00:05:56:19
Unknown
as opposed to people who knew that they were going to

00:05:56:19 - 00:05:58:16
Unknown
hold webinars again.

00:05:58:16 - 00:05:59:23
Unknown
Pause this video

00:05:59:23 - 00:06:00:19
Unknown
and

00:06:00:19 - 00:06:01:21
Unknown
go look up.

00:06:01:21 - 00:06:02:07
Unknown
what

00:06:02:07 - 00:06:04:06
Unknown
we're showing here on the screen

00:06:04:06 - 00:06:05:05
Unknown
as far as

00:06:05:05 - 00:06:10:10
Unknown
adding on a webinar. And then also what we've talked about already about

00:06:10:10 - 00:06:12:15
Unknown
the difference between webinars and meetings.

00:06:12:16 - 00:06:15:04
Unknown
Very important that we're understanding that. And hey,

00:06:15:04 - 00:06:16:14
Unknown
those listeners, if

00:06:16:14 - 00:06:19:08
Unknown
you want to see some of the overlays that we're using,

00:06:19:08 - 00:06:22:04
Unknown
on over to YouTube where you can watch

00:06:22:04 - 00:06:24:01
Unknown
this podcast episode

00:06:24:01 - 00:06:25:03
Unknown
and follow along.

00:06:25:03 - 00:06:25:20
Unknown
So

00:06:25:20 - 00:06:31:20
Unknown
whenever you would pay for an annual subscription and zoom in like you say, okay, I need this for the whole year,

00:06:31:20 - 00:06:33:07
Unknown
you're going to save a little bit per month,

00:06:33:07 - 00:06:35:13
Unknown
like sometimes upwards of $20 a month.

00:06:35:13 - 00:06:36:07
Unknown
So,

00:06:36:07 - 00:06:38:17
Unknown
you know, but then you pay for the whole year

00:06:38:17 - 00:06:39:14
Unknown
in advance.

00:06:39:14 - 00:06:40:01
Unknown
Okay.

00:06:40:01 - 00:06:41:17
Unknown
So that's something to consider.

00:06:41:17 - 00:06:43:02
Unknown
And for a webinar

00:06:43:02 - 00:06:45:07
Unknown
that would be around for the whole year,

00:06:45:07 - 00:06:47:22
Unknown
you'd have to say $67 a month times 12.

00:06:47:22 - 00:06:48:18
Unknown
Okay. So

00:06:48:18 - 00:06:50:21
Unknown
that gives you webinars for a whole year.

00:06:50:21 - 00:06:51:05
Unknown
All right.

00:06:51:05 - 00:06:54:20
Unknown
So then along comes what we used to call zoom sessions.

00:06:54:20 - 00:06:55:14
Unknown
And

00:06:55:14 - 00:06:58:00
Unknown
this is now called Webinars plus.

00:06:58:00 - 00:06:59:17
Unknown
And a session was

00:06:59:17 - 00:07:00:23
Unknown
a way of

00:07:00:23 - 00:07:03:06
Unknown
what I called a wrapper or a hub

00:07:03:06 - 00:07:05:14
Unknown
like a wrapper around

00:07:05:14 - 00:07:06:06
Unknown
your

00:07:06:06 - 00:07:07:05
Unknown
zoom meeting

00:07:07:05 - 00:07:08:09
Unknown
or a zoom webinar.

00:07:08:09 - 00:07:10:13
Unknown
And this adds on

00:07:10:13 - 00:07:12:23
Unknown
some main benefits.

00:07:12:23 - 00:07:14:09
Unknown
I'm going to get into those.

00:07:14:09 - 00:07:16:18
Unknown
But when you pick a webinars plus plan,

00:07:16:18 - 00:07:21:04
Unknown
you don't necessarily have to think about how many months I want or,

00:07:21:04 - 00:07:23:09
Unknown
you know, maybe you're just going to try this out,

00:07:23:09 - 00:07:24:11
Unknown
that's you.

00:07:24:11 - 00:07:26:18
Unknown
Then choose the pay per attendee

00:07:26:18 - 00:07:27:07
Unknown
plan.

00:07:27:07 - 00:07:32:04
Unknown
When you choose pay per attendee, you get to pick how many tools. We really just want to try it out.

00:07:32:04 - 00:07:33:18
Unknown
Pick 50 attendees

00:07:33:18 - 00:07:38:09
Unknown
at pay per attendee. You pay $100 once. That's it. That could last through the whole year.

00:07:38:09 - 00:07:40:14
Unknown
If you're going to do a sequence of maybe

00:07:40:14 - 00:07:41:14
Unknown
five events

00:07:41:14 - 00:07:43:18
Unknown
and very low enrollment, right.

00:07:43:18 - 00:07:45:07
Unknown
Because maybe you're just trying it out,

00:07:45:07 - 00:07:46:22
Unknown
launching your digital product,

00:07:46:22 - 00:07:48:18
Unknown
that might not take a whole year. But

00:07:48:18 - 00:07:51:03
Unknown
just so you know, it's a one off price. And

00:07:51:03 - 00:07:53:02
Unknown
again, as of this recording,

00:07:53:02 - 00:07:56:17

So if you wanted instead of pay per attendee to pay

00:07:56:17 - 00:07:57:08
Unknown
monthly,

00:07:57:08 - 00:07:59:15
Unknown
you know, you're like, well, I know I'm going to definitely

00:07:59:15 - 00:08:03:10
Unknown
have these events, these big events maybe every quarter, right,

00:08:03:10 - 00:08:06:02
Unknown
once a quarter. So it's definitely four times a year. And I'm

00:08:06:02 - 00:08:07:08
Unknown
going to have around,

00:08:07:08 - 00:08:09:03
Unknown
you know, 100 people at least,

00:08:09:03 - 00:08:09:22
Unknown
in each of those

00:08:09:22 - 00:08:10:14
Unknown
events.

00:08:10:14 - 00:08:11:05
Unknown
And so

00:08:11:05 - 00:08:12:11
Unknown
in sign you can,

00:08:12:11 - 00:08:13:00
Unknown
pick

00:08:13:00 - 00:08:16:11
Unknown
from either 100 attendees if you want to pay monthly.

00:08:16:11 - 00:08:18:18
Unknown
And then that's going to be $99 each month.

00:08:18:18 - 00:08:22:09
Unknown
So this is where it starts getting very interesting. So you get

00:08:22:09 - 00:08:23:22
Unknown
this webinars plus

00:08:23:22 - 00:08:25:05
Unknown
that comes with

00:08:25:05 - 00:08:26:09
Unknown
the following

00:08:26:09 - 00:08:27:10
Unknown
benefits.

00:08:27:10 - 00:08:30:07
Unknown
Starting with broadcast quality events

00:08:30:07 - 00:08:30:19
Unknown
with

00:08:30:19 - 00:08:32:04
Unknown
a backstage area,

00:08:32:04 - 00:08:33:15
Unknown
production tools

00:08:33:15 - 00:08:36:16
Unknown
and better on demand workflows,

00:08:36:16 - 00:08:38:04
Unknown
you still keep your

00:08:38:04 - 00:08:41:05
Unknown
workplace pro for your regular meetings,

00:08:41:05 - 00:08:42:14
Unknown
so you can still have those.

00:08:42:14 - 00:08:43:05
Unknown
You're just

00:08:43:05 - 00:08:44:09
Unknown
adding on

00:08:44:09 - 00:08:51:21
Unknown
this layer that sits on top and unlocks these event tools that you don't get when you just have those meetings.

00:08:51:21 - 00:08:56:20
Unknown
And so if you're an online coach and you want to run a summit where you want to have multiple speakers

00:08:56:20 - 00:08:59:00
Unknown
or you're launching your digital product,

00:08:59:00 - 00:09:03:11
Unknown
or maybe you are my real estate pros out there, you know, you're in real estate.

00:09:03:12 - 00:09:07:14
Unknown
You're wanting to host a virtual maybe town hall or a market update

00:09:07:14 - 00:09:09:19
Unknown
or maybe first time homebuyer seminars.

00:09:09:19 - 00:09:11:14
Unknown
Or possibly you're an educator

00:09:11:14 - 00:09:14:01
Unknown
and you're leading panel discussions or,

00:09:14:01 - 00:09:15:15
Unknown
multiple speaker

00:09:15:15 - 00:09:16:15
Unknown
classes,

00:09:16:15 - 00:09:17:11
Unknown
or even,

00:09:17:11 - 00:09:19:09
Unknown
you know, a guest expert day,

00:09:19:09 - 00:09:22:06
Unknown
then this is definitely for you.

00:09:22:06 - 00:09:25:14
Unknown
So let's start with the three reasons. Starting with number one,

00:09:25:14 - 00:09:28:12
Unknown
you can turn that simple zoom call

00:09:28:12 - 00:09:30:08
Unknown
into a produced show,

00:09:30:08 - 00:09:31:23
Unknown
which is not just a meeting.

00:09:31:23 - 00:09:34:11
Unknown
So Webinars Plus gives you

00:09:34:11 - 00:09:35:21
Unknown
these production tools

00:09:35:21 - 00:09:37:11
Unknown
and backstage control

00:09:37:11 - 00:09:40:12
Unknown
that you simply do not get with regular meetings.

00:09:40:12 - 00:09:42:04
Unknown
So the backstage area,

00:09:42:04 - 00:09:46:19
Unknown
is where the hosts and the panelists and the speakers can talk privately

00:09:46:19 - 00:09:48:11
Unknown
before and during the event

00:09:48:11 - 00:09:49:13
Unknown
without the audience

00:09:49:13 - 00:09:50:23
Unknown
seeing or hearing them.

00:09:50:23 - 00:09:52:15
Unknown
The production tools.

00:09:52:15 - 00:09:54:23
Unknown
That's called production Studio.

00:09:54:23 - 00:09:55:21
Unknown
And

00:09:55:21 - 00:09:56:08
Unknown
it

00:09:56:08 - 00:10:00:23
Unknown
is the area where you can actually load in videos.

00:10:00:23 - 00:10:04:06
Unknown
It's almost like your own web page or landing page

00:10:04:06 - 00:10:07:00
Unknown
where you can have information about your event,

00:10:07:00 - 00:10:07:14
Unknown
where

00:10:07:14 - 00:10:13:22
Unknown
videos can be prerecorded sessions and they can play and they actually feel like their lives.

00:10:13:22 - 00:10:17:03
Unknown
That's Zoom's feature called Send Me Live,

00:10:17:03 - 00:10:20:22
Unknown
and it's been there all along. Just many people don't know about it.

00:10:20:22 - 00:10:22:12
Unknown
Again, why I'm bringing this out?

00:10:22:12 - 00:10:27:12
Unknown
Because a lot of times people say, how would I be even known to ask you that if I didn't know

00:10:27:12 - 00:10:28:04
Unknown
about it?

00:10:28:04 - 00:10:29:22
Unknown
So the next part about

00:10:29:22 - 00:10:32:15
Unknown
being able to turn this simple zoom call

00:10:32:15 - 00:10:34:11
Unknown
into a produce show

00:10:34:11 - 00:10:36:12
Unknown
is that you get a practice session mode,

00:10:36:12 - 00:10:40:09
Unknown
and that lets you rehearse with speakers and test slides and put polls in there

00:10:40:09 - 00:10:43:18
Unknown
and audio while the attendees wait in a lobby.

00:10:43:18 - 00:10:47:09
Unknown
So they are greeted with this virtual presence of a lobby

00:10:47:09 - 00:10:50:05
Unknown
so that they can see the events that are going on.

00:10:50:05 - 00:10:52:15
Unknown
And yes, you can have one event

00:10:52:15 - 00:10:54:19
Unknown
or you can have concurrent events.

00:10:54:19 - 00:10:56:15
Unknown
And depending on what you want

00:10:56:15 - 00:10:57:02
Unknown
in this,

00:10:57:02 - 00:10:57:22
Unknown
you know, let's say

00:10:57:22 - 00:11:00:21
Unknown
bigger zoom event that feels more like

00:11:00:21 - 00:11:03:10
Unknown
a show or a summit or a conference.

00:11:03:10 - 00:11:06:00
Unknown
Your plan needs to support that.

00:11:06:00 - 00:11:08:00
Unknown
But these are the benefits.

00:11:08:00 - 00:11:09:16
Unknown
You can also get branding

00:11:09:16 - 00:11:11:06
Unknown
on that registration page

00:11:11:06 - 00:11:12:11
Unknown
and emails,

00:11:12:11 - 00:11:15:03
Unknown
plus matching virtual backgrounds and name tags.

00:11:15:03 - 00:11:15:15
Unknown
So

00:11:15:15 - 00:11:18:06
Unknown
anybody who is a speaker for you in this event

00:11:18:06 - 00:11:20:06
Unknown
can all have the same virtual background

00:11:20:06 - 00:11:23:22
Unknown
and even name tags. So it all has that cohesive feel.

00:11:23:22 - 00:11:25:21
Unknown
So if you're an online coach out there

00:11:25:21 - 00:11:26:17
Unknown
and

00:11:26:17 - 00:11:33:18
Unknown
you want to think about, you know, this is not just going live on zoom anymore, hey, let's just hop on zoom and go live.

00:11:33:18 - 00:11:36:20
Unknown
You're walking into your own little TV studio,

00:11:36:20 - 00:11:40:11
Unknown
you know, whatever wanted your own recording studio. This is a way of having it

00:11:40:11 - 00:11:43:21
Unknown
with a green room, and there's branded visuals.

00:11:43:21 - 00:11:47:22
Unknown
You can pre-record a segment and run it as that semi live

00:11:47:22 - 00:11:50:05
Unknown
and launch polls automatically

00:11:50:05 - 00:11:54:05
Unknown
know and still show up live for that Q&A after,

00:11:54:05 - 00:11:55:16
Unknown
you know, I've been to

00:11:55:16 - 00:11:56:09
Unknown
a

00:11:56:09 - 00:11:57:05
Unknown
debut

00:11:57:05 - 00:11:59:16
Unknown
of, let's say, a new movie or a documentary

00:11:59:16 - 00:12:00:23
Unknown
where the

00:12:00:23 - 00:12:02:17
Unknown
author, host, editor,

00:12:02:17 - 00:12:03:11
Unknown
director,

00:12:03:11 - 00:12:05:08
Unknown
they show up afterwards

00:12:05:08 - 00:12:08:11
Unknown
they sit on the stage and they do a breakdown of

00:12:08:11 - 00:12:10:04
Unknown
what happened and how they

00:12:10:04 - 00:12:12:00
Unknown
came to make the decisions they made.

00:12:12:00 - 00:12:12:19
Unknown
And

00:12:12:19 - 00:12:17:17
Unknown
that same feel of people watching your simulate live recording prerecorded session.

00:12:17:17 - 00:12:22:12
Unknown
And then they, they get the information and then you open it up for this live Q&A.

00:12:22:12 - 00:12:24:20
Unknown
So for my real estate professionals

00:12:24:20 - 00:12:25:11
Unknown
who

00:12:25:11 - 00:12:28:16
Unknown
want to know, you know, how does this fit into my business?

00:12:28:16 - 00:12:30:23
Unknown
You know, imagine that monthly market update

00:12:30:23 - 00:12:32:21
Unknown
that looks and feels like a broadcast.

00:12:32:21 - 00:12:33:21
Unknown
You know, you start with a

00:12:33:21 - 00:12:35:10
Unknown
polished introduction.

00:12:35:10 - 00:12:37:22
Unknown
Bring your guest, you know, maybe lenders or

00:12:37:22 - 00:12:43:11
Unknown
inspection professionals in from backstage and roll right into a Q&A when you are ready.

00:12:43:11 - 00:12:50:10
Unknown
And there's no more awkward, awkward shuffling of the screens. And, you know, hang on, wait a minute while I find that

00:12:50:10 - 00:12:52:17
Unknown
slide or presentation or chart

00:12:52:17 - 00:12:54:07
Unknown
and for my educators

00:12:54:07 - 00:12:56:05
Unknown
with maybe multiple speakers,

00:12:56:05 - 00:12:58:02
Unknown
you can keep your panelists

00:12:58:02 - 00:12:58:17
Unknown
in

00:12:58:17 - 00:13:01:03
Unknown
that backstage area until it's their turn.

00:13:01:03 - 00:13:04:00
Unknown
So you bring them on and off very smoothly,

00:13:04:00 - 00:13:08:08
Unknown
and you keep your learners focused on the content. Instead of these

00:13:08:08 - 00:13:13:21
Unknown
technical shifts, right where there's dead air and they're waiting to see like, what's next?

00:13:13:21 - 00:13:15:13
Unknown
It's the webinars plus

00:13:15:13 - 00:13:18:03
Unknown
add on that gives you this

00:13:18:03 - 00:13:19:00
Unknown
energy.

00:13:19:00 - 00:13:21:13
Unknown
You pump that energy into your event,

00:13:21:13 - 00:13:23:00
Unknown
and it's what gives it that

00:13:23:00 - 00:13:23:22
Unknown
event. Feel.

00:13:23:22 - 00:13:26:00
Unknown
So now moving on to reason number two.

00:13:26:00 - 00:13:30:16
Unknown
right. You can run big multi speaker events without the chaos.

00:13:30:16 - 00:13:31:00
Unknown
right.

00:13:31:00 - 00:13:32:10
Unknown
I'm always known for saying this.

00:13:32:10 - 00:13:33:21
Unknown
There's a time and place

00:13:33:21 - 00:13:35:00
Unknown
to be out of control

00:13:35:00 - 00:13:37:10
Unknown
inside your zoom event is not one of them.

00:13:37:10 - 00:13:38:06
Unknown
And so

00:13:38:06 - 00:13:40:03
Unknown
this idea that Webinars Plus

00:13:40:03 - 00:13:43:10
Unknown
is designed for bigger audiences where you need the control,

00:13:43:10 - 00:13:47:22
Unknown
you need roles, you need collaboration among several hosts or coeditors.

00:13:47:22 - 00:13:49:07
Unknown
And this is the place for it.

00:13:49:07 - 00:13:54:03
Unknown
All right. So compared to meetings where everyone can unmute and screen share and the webinars

00:13:54:03 - 00:14:00:20
Unknown
give you a view only attendee experience, while the panelists present with Q&A and chat and polls and reactions

00:14:00:20 - 00:14:02:02
Unknown
in that controlled,

00:14:02:02 - 00:14:03:02
Unknown
interaction.

00:14:03:02 - 00:14:04:12
Unknown
right. Webinars plus

00:14:04:12 - 00:14:09:07
Unknown
those packages typically include 2 to 5 hosts and 1 to 3

00:14:09:07 - 00:14:10:03
Unknown
co-hosts.

00:14:10:03 - 00:14:14:05
Unknown
So you can share hosting duties and manage the events as a team

00:14:14:05 - 00:14:16:04
Unknown
out of just one license.

00:14:16:04 - 00:14:17:01
Unknown
versus

00:14:17:01 - 00:14:18:13
Unknown
you're running a zoom meeting

00:14:18:13 - 00:14:19:08
Unknown
and

00:14:19:08 - 00:14:22:06
Unknown
it can feel a little bit chaotic,

00:14:22:06 - 00:14:25:19
Unknown
even though you can have co-hosts and a meeting, multiple co-hosts,

00:14:25:19 - 00:14:28:04
Unknown
you don't have this place to go talk to them.

00:14:28:04 - 00:14:31:01
Unknown
Except I have shown people you can have breakout rooms,

00:14:31:01 - 00:14:33:16
Unknown
but still, in order for me to go talk to them,

00:14:33:16 - 00:14:35:21
Unknown
I have to leave the main meeting room

00:14:35:21 - 00:14:36:23
Unknown
where everybody is,

00:14:36:23 - 00:14:37:16
Unknown
unlike

00:14:37:16 - 00:14:40:01
Unknown
in a webinars Plus event,

00:14:40:01 - 00:14:44:10
Unknown
I have that prerecorded session that I can have running while I'm backstage

00:14:44:10 - 00:14:44:21
Unknown
prepping

00:14:44:21 - 00:14:45:13
Unknown
my staff,

00:14:45:13 - 00:14:46:05
Unknown
my team.

00:14:46:05 - 00:14:49:16
Unknown
So those multiple special rules are supported,

00:14:49:16 - 00:14:50:19
Unknown
you know, such as,

00:14:50:19 - 00:14:52:08
Unknown
you can even have interpreters

00:14:52:08 - 00:14:54:01
Unknown
if you have multiple languages,

00:14:54:01 - 00:14:57:09
Unknown
and they're all managed underneath this webinars plus.

00:14:57:09 - 00:14:58:21
Unknown
So keep in mind,

00:14:58:21 - 00:15:00:06
Unknown
as I've mentioned this all,

00:15:00:06 - 00:15:03:08
Unknown
you still have access to breakout rooms.

00:15:03:08 - 00:15:05:04
Unknown
You have access to your Q&A

00:15:05:04 - 00:15:07:12
Unknown
feature. There is an actual Q&A feature

00:15:07:12 - 00:15:09:13
Unknown
in webinars or in the

00:15:09:13 - 00:15:10:00
Unknown
meetings.

00:15:10:00 - 00:15:13:23
Unknown
You can now bring in Q&A where you can show what questions people have,

00:15:13:23 - 00:15:17:17
Unknown
and then you can show whether they're answered live, or you can just answer them,

00:15:17:17 - 00:15:18:16
Unknown
in the channel,

00:15:18:16 - 00:15:20:06
Unknown
can still have your surveys

00:15:20:06 - 00:15:23:08
Unknown
and you still have your engagement reporting.

00:15:23:08 - 00:15:25:03
Unknown
that engagement reporting. So,

00:15:25:03 - 00:15:26:00
Unknown
who attended,

00:15:26:00 - 00:15:28:19
Unknown
those types of reports are unique to this.

00:15:28:19 - 00:15:31:22
Unknown
Those are not available in the same way inside basic meetings.

00:15:31:22 - 00:15:35:09
Unknown
Basic meetings does have a host usage report which shows

00:15:35:09 - 00:15:39:22
Unknown
how many people showed up, what their time stamp was when they entered the waiting room

00:15:39:22 - 00:15:41:11
Unknown
or entered the main meeting room.

00:15:41:11 - 00:15:43:22
Unknown
But the engagement reporting you get with this

00:15:43:22 - 00:15:44:19
Unknown
is heightened.

00:15:44:19 - 00:15:45:17
Unknown
You'll love it.

00:15:45:17 - 00:15:48:00
Unknown
So in summary, with reason number two,

00:15:48:00 - 00:15:49:01
Unknown
you're going to think about

00:15:49:01 - 00:15:50:19
Unknown
less chaos, more control,

00:15:50:19 - 00:15:55:20
Unknown
and you're no longer the only one pressing all the buttons.

00:15:55:20 - 00:15:57:21
Unknown
All right. That brings us to reason number three.

00:15:57:21 - 00:15:59:23
Unknown
So you can treat every event

00:15:59:23 - 00:16:01:12
Unknown
when you have webinars. Plus

00:16:01:12 - 00:16:03:13
Unknown
like that lead machine,

00:16:03:13 - 00:16:05:12
Unknown
an on demand asset.

00:16:05:12 - 00:16:07:11
Unknown
Are you trying to gain more leads.

00:16:07:11 - 00:16:09:10
Unknown
you want to find your next customer?

00:16:09:10 - 00:16:11:00
Unknown
Do they know what you know?

00:16:11:00 - 00:16:13:03
Unknown
How are you going to get your message out there

00:16:13:03 - 00:16:13:13
Unknown
and

00:16:13:13 - 00:16:15:00
Unknown
doing it in a zoom meeting,

00:16:15:00 - 00:16:16:09
Unknown
inviting people in?

00:16:16:09 - 00:16:17:11
Unknown
Definitely

00:16:17:11 - 00:16:18:13
Unknown
Is fantastic.

00:16:18:13 - 00:16:20:00
Unknown
I have done it every day

00:16:20:00 - 00:16:20:16
Unknown
for

00:16:20:16 - 00:16:22:13
Unknown
six years so you don't have to.

00:16:22:13 - 00:16:24:18
Unknown
Webinars plus gives you

00:16:24:18 - 00:16:26:03
Unknown
registration

00:16:26:03 - 00:16:28:03
Unknown
features that you do not find

00:16:28:03 - 00:16:29:01
Unknown
in your basic

00:16:29:01 - 00:16:29:13
Unknown
pro

00:16:29:13 - 00:16:30:13
Unknown
right. So

00:16:30:13 - 00:16:32:04
Unknown
the pro plan

00:16:32:04 - 00:16:36:08
Unknown
that you are already paying for and what we're talking about your upgrading from,

00:16:36:08 - 00:16:38:07
Unknown
you do not get the registration in that

00:16:38:07 - 00:16:40:16
Unknown
that you get here as well as analytics

00:16:40:16 - 00:16:42:11
Unknown
and monetization tools.

00:16:42:11 - 00:16:43:15
Unknown
So every event

00:16:43:15 - 00:16:44:17
Unknown
can be measurable,

00:16:44:17 - 00:16:45:13
Unknown
repeatable

00:16:45:13 - 00:16:46:10
Unknown
and reusable.

00:16:46:10 - 00:16:47:23
Unknown
And it's all under one roof here.

00:16:47:23 - 00:16:49:01
Unknown
So let me bring you through it.

00:16:49:01 - 00:16:51:18
Unknown
You have advanced registration and email flows.

00:16:51:18 - 00:16:52:19
Unknown
So you're going to have

00:16:52:19 - 00:16:56:06
Unknown
the ability to brand that registration page. You can have

00:16:56:06 - 00:16:58:10
Unknown
email for event reminders

00:16:58:10 - 00:16:59:19
Unknown
before and after

00:16:59:19 - 00:17:04:02
Unknown
as well as you do have built in PayPal and stripe integration for

00:17:04:02 - 00:17:05:03
Unknown
purchasing tickets.

00:17:05:03 - 00:17:10:12
Unknown
So you still have the ability to do free tickets. However, now you can have paid tickets

00:17:10:12 - 00:17:12:23
Unknown
and in your event hubs

00:17:12:23 - 00:17:17:14
Unknown
very well known. So when you add on webinars plus you're going to be talking about your hub.

00:17:17:14 - 00:17:18:07
Unknown
And

00:17:18:07 - 00:17:21:19
Unknown
what was known as zoom sessions is now webinars. Plus,

00:17:21:19 - 00:17:23:11
Unknown
once you get to this level,

00:17:23:11 - 00:17:28:06
Unknown
you are in the realm of what we call zoom events

00:17:28:06 - 00:17:29:21
Unknown
and zoom events

00:17:29:21 - 00:17:30:23
Unknown
is your portal

00:17:30:23 - 00:17:32:08
Unknown
for organizing

00:17:32:08 - 00:17:35:15
Unknown
your events that are going on and all of your recordings in one place,

00:17:35:15 - 00:17:40:05
Unknown
plus dashboards for registration, attendance, and engagement. You're going to need it.

00:17:40:05 - 00:17:43:08
Unknown
So you're going to have this one area called your event Hub.

00:17:43:08 - 00:17:44:15
Unknown
And webinars have this

00:17:44:15 - 00:17:46:13
Unknown
richer analytics than meetings,

00:17:46:13 - 00:17:48:16
Unknown
including registration data

00:17:48:16 - 00:17:50:06
Unknown
and engagement metrics.

00:17:50:06 - 00:17:53:21
Unknown
Your polls are still there, your Q&A participation survey results

00:17:53:21 - 00:17:55:17
Unknown
and exportable reports.

00:17:55:17 - 00:17:58:03
Unknown
So webinars plus builds on that

00:17:58:03 - 00:17:59:10
Unknown
with even more

00:17:59:10 - 00:18:00:06
Unknown
dashboard

00:18:00:06 - 00:18:01:01
Unknown
data.

00:18:01:01 - 00:18:02:06
Unknown
All right. And then

00:18:02:06 - 00:18:06:17
Unknown
rounding that out you have this new video on demand analytics

00:18:06:17 - 00:18:08:03
Unknown
mean video on demand.

00:18:08:03 - 00:18:09:06
Unknown
Take your videos

00:18:09:06 - 00:18:09:23
Unknown
that have

00:18:09:23 - 00:18:11:10
Unknown
what you're presenting

00:18:11:10 - 00:18:13:18
Unknown
and put them there. As the

00:18:13:18 - 00:18:14:19
Unknown
session

00:18:14:19 - 00:18:15:12
Unknown
starts.

00:18:15:12 - 00:18:17:06
Unknown
So it's prerecorded.

00:18:17:06 - 00:18:20:12
Unknown
People come in, they view your prerecorded video,

00:18:20:12 - 00:18:21:23
Unknown
and then you come out

00:18:21:23 - 00:18:23:03
Unknown
from backstage

00:18:23:03 - 00:18:25:03
Unknown
and enter the Q&A period.

00:18:25:03 - 00:18:31:03
Unknown
So for my online coaches, you can see exactly who has registered, who has showed up live and who has watched the replay.

00:18:31:03 - 00:18:32:04
Unknown
Oh my goodness.

00:18:32:04 - 00:18:34:05
Unknown
You can even see where they dropped off.

00:18:34:05 - 00:18:34:21
Unknown
And

00:18:34:21 - 00:18:37:09
Unknown
when we talk about analytics for videos,

00:18:37:09 - 00:18:39:05
Unknown
you want to make sure you have a strong hook.

00:18:39:05 - 00:18:40:18
Unknown
it keeps their attention

00:18:40:18 - 00:18:41:06
Unknown
and

00:18:41:06 - 00:18:42:11
Unknown
they stay on

00:18:42:11 - 00:18:43:10
Unknown
until the end.

00:18:43:10 - 00:18:46:09
Unknown
And so that turns your summit into a list. Building

00:18:46:09 - 00:18:48:12
Unknown
an offer testing lab

00:18:48:12 - 00:18:50:11
Unknown
instead of a one time event.

00:18:50:12 - 00:18:52:08
Unknown
that disappears into the cloud.

00:18:52:08 - 00:18:54:20
Unknown
For my educators, you're teaching a class

00:18:54:20 - 00:18:55:11
Unknown
holding,

00:18:55:11 - 00:19:01:11
Unknown
a conference with educational sessions. You can track attendance and engagement and poll participation.

00:19:01:11 - 00:19:02:14
Unknown
And then at the end,

00:19:02:14 - 00:19:08:02
Unknown
have a clean report instead of piecing it together from screenshots and sticky notes.

00:19:08:02 - 00:19:09:14
Unknown
We all been there. Yes.

00:19:09:14 - 00:19:13:01
Unknown
So this is where you use your one zoom recording

00:19:13:01 - 00:19:15:07
Unknown
and you get 20 assets.

00:19:15:07 - 00:19:17:13
Unknown
You get that here with webinars plus.

00:19:17:13 - 00:19:24:00
Unknown
So as always, you get zooms, AI features with recordings and clips to turn each event

00:19:24:00 - 00:19:25:20
Unknown
into an on demand channel.

00:19:25:20 - 00:19:26:07
Unknown
Not

00:19:26:07 - 00:19:27:16
Unknown
a one and done

00:19:27:16 - 00:19:28:23
Unknown
type of class.

00:19:28:23 - 00:19:30:06
Unknown
So in summary,

00:19:30:06 - 00:19:32:20
Unknown
if this is now nudging you

00:19:32:20 - 00:19:36:02
Unknown
that it is time to outgrow

00:19:36:02 - 00:19:36:19
Unknown
the

00:19:36:19 - 00:19:42:10
Unknown
meetings that you have been running and start treating your zoom events like real productions,

00:19:42:10 - 00:19:43:05
Unknown
then

00:19:43:05 - 00:19:47:03
Unknown
take a look inside your zoom web portal

00:19:47:03 - 00:19:47:20
Unknown
where

00:19:47:20 - 00:19:50:13
Unknown
your plan management is located.

00:19:50:13 - 00:19:55:07
Unknown
or you can go right here as we're showing here on the overlay to the pricing page

00:19:55:07 - 00:19:56:11
Unknown
inside zoom.

00:19:56:11 - 00:19:59:00
Unknown
And we'll put that link in the description.

00:19:59:00 - 00:19:59:09
Unknown
It's

00:19:59:09 - 00:19:59:22
Unknown
Zoom's

00:19:59:22 - 00:20:00:23
Unknown
website.

00:20:00:23 - 00:20:02:01
Unknown
Zoom's website

00:20:02:01 - 00:20:08:13
Unknown
is providing this information for us. So you can either come through your web portal where your plan management is located.

00:20:08:13 - 00:20:11:14
Unknown
It will lead you directly here as well to upgrade.
