Steve is a senior practitioner at a management consulting company. He is invited to present at an industry conference, and is excited about the opportunity to connect with new prospects in the audience.
He is an experienced public speaker, and knows that connecting with his audience and engaging them is key to leaving a good and lasting impression.
The primary goal of marketing events is to engage the audience and turn them into potential leads.
One of the biggest challenges Steve faces is to connect with his audience and start a business relationship. To do so he needs to engage them, get their feedback, and learn what kinds of needs they have and how his company can help. He also needs to get their contact information so he can follow up after the event.
MeetingSift enables Steve to break up his slides with engaging activities, turning a passive audience into active participants. Via their own smart devices, audience members can easily vote on polls, give feedback, pose questions, and participate in other activities.
Steve kicks off his presentation with an icebreaker poll, asking how much experience participants have with the topic. It is exciting for everybody to see the real-time visualizations of their responses, and Steve uses the information to quickly adjust his presentation to the audience’s level of expertise.
Steve uses MeetingSift to run an efficient Q&A session where he gets to select and display the best questions to address, avoiding issues like lengthy rants or timid mumbling.
As a part of his session, Steve asks for participants’ email addresses, so he can send them follow up information. This lets him turn an entire event audience into potential leads for his company.
Participants use their own devices to vote on polls, post questions to speakers, and engage in other MeetingSift activities.
