You Have Something To Say. You have Expertise. • The people in your department, division, section, workgroup, or team have developed deep knowledge about some topic. You have collected data, introduced a new program, run an experiment, rolled out a new service. • Educate • Industry, Techniques, Products, Resources • Position Organization as a Solution Source • Create the mindset that your organization is the best source for information and solutions. • Hint • Hosting a webinar requires more practice than special knowledge, more guts than expertise. The only way to get better at running a webinar is to run lots of webinars.
Completely redesign an existing manual webinar campaign execution and management process • Move from various applications and management processes to one single automated process. • Completely execute the customer experience through the automated process • It’s more than simply moving them from invitation to webinar. • Determine how sales-ready information reaches sales and when would your sales-ready triggers be fired. • When to present “Calls to Action,” if at all.
When to Have “Calls to Action” • Invitation? • Just before the webinar? • Just after the webinar? • Only those who attended? • What about those that did not attend? • What about a “last chance?”
Benefits of Webinar Automation through Eloqua and the AppCloud
The AppCloud connector significantly improved the customers’ experience with the webinar program. In order to participate in a webinar, the customer must be on the list in Adobe Connect. By automating this process with the cloud connector we not only removed a manual process, but also reduced the risk of a customer being blocked from an event due to human error. • Increased efficiency. The changes we made to the process flow reduced work time by eighty-three percent (83%). • With the new solution, requires minimal intervention due to automation. • Increase job satisfaction of Marcom specialists who no longer must be hands-on with asset development and ongoing monitoring or intervention. • Recognition of significant webinar improvement by executive, sales, product, and marketing management. • Overcame a quality control issue within AppCloud for Adobe Connect. • Set up a single host account in Adobe Connect, AppCloud for Adobe Connect, and Eloqua. Our power users each use this single account in the AppCloud for Adobe Connect to view each other’s setup for quality control reviews to reduce errors.
