“GETTING THE MOST OUT OF FREE TELECONFERENCES”
by Carmen Sakurai-Maranon of MarketingChick.com

If you’re subscribed to as many ezines and newsletters
as I am, you’ve no doubt been inundated with daily
invitations to free teleconferences, teleclinics,
teleseminars, teletubbies, etc.

But, have you ever picked up the phone and called in?
I used to think, “Sheesh, not ANOTHER one!” until I
received an invite for a call held after 9pm when
I have free night time minutes on my cell.

It was surprisingly informative. I’m easily bored,
and not being able to actually speak to the people
on the phone was somewhat irritating, but, an audio
recording was available for download the following
day, so, I took it, burned it on a CD, and listened.

Well, I had to listen to it one more time with pen
and note pad in hand to *really* get it, but, I finished
with several pages of new information to test out!

That’s not to say I haven’t dialed in to any bad
calls… one gentleman seemed to have thought that
sounding like he had swallowed the phone was a bright
idea, on top of speaking at a rate of three words
per minute. But I digress…

Anyway, here are a few tips I’ve found helpful in
getting the most out of free teleconference calls:

1) Have a pen and note pad handy.

I like to jot things down the moment I hear
something useful or interesting, so I won’t forget
later. Also helpful if the conference organizers
won’t have a recorded copy available for download.

2) Burn the recordings on CD.

This way, you can listen to them in your car, while
you walk, work, and anytime your ears are free.

3) Keep your ears open for priceless nuggets!

No doubt the speakers will talk about something you’re
already aware of, but, keep your ears (and mind) open
to their unique approach to ‘ordinary’ things.

4) Look out for what the speakers are DOING to make profit.

After the call, check out the speaker’s websites and see
what s/he’s doing to bring in the cash. It’s one thing
to ‘listen in’ on how they’re bringing in the cash, but,
seeing them in action is putting this lesson on a whole
new level! Refer back to your notes and see exactly
how they practice what they preach!

Anyway, if you have the opportunity to listen in
on a free call, give it a shot! You might walk
away with some great ideas you wouldn’t have
thought of yourself!

* most free calls require you to pay for local/long
distance charges, unless they provide you with a
toll-free number.
