[2:24] David's backstory:

  • Built a web design agency
  • Learned online marketing through internship turned full-time marketing director position
  • Used webinars at the company as a tool for growth
  • Grew business from $0 to 7 figures/year
  • Left company and partnered to create marketing funnels

  • Built deep funnels with segmentation

[7:23] Demio was created to solve the company’s own problem.

[8:07] "What we really wanted was simplicity. What realized it was the key to webinars."

[8:41] While developing Demio, David focused on:

  • Reliability
  • Simplicity
  • Ease-of-use
  • What attendees love and presenters love to use
  • High quality

[9:34] Explain what you mean by simplicity and why it's so important. What challenges did you run into to separate yourself from the competitors? "The idea of simplicity is that you want to be able to do the core things very well, get it done quickly, and get a result. No one is buying a webinar tool to play with it. They want a webinar tool to connect with their audience."

[11:17] "It doesn't matter what business you're in, simplicity is always important."

[12:46] What's the key concept that you guys focused on when you launched Demio? "The key is connection. We want to connect you with your audience. The core essence of a webinar is building relationships."

[14:25] The idea of the webinar is to connect with your audience, build relationships, build trust, and transparency. Whether you're selling a product or training, you want your audience to know they're in good hands.

[15:01] When people jump into the online world and look at different types of funnels, they think 'automation', but you'll get better conversion rates the more you can talk to somebody one-on-one."

[15:55] Webinars allow you to have a one-to-many sales process. The more intimate you can get with your customers, they more you grow.

[16:22] Demio offers a free one-on-one demo to connect with their customers.

[16:57] Webinars convert high because the event itself it so powerful:

  • real built-in scarcity
  • real relationships
  • excitement
  • engagement
  • scalable
  • easy to do

[19:47] Key things to implement into live webinars to make the best experience possible

  1. The big promise
  2. Incentives to stay on the webinar
  3. Be engaging

[22:40] The downfall of offering a freebie toward the end of a webinar and what to do instead.

[25:19] One thing you're may not be aware of or testing with webinars.

[25:45] "Understand what's happening, where attention and focus is going and how you can change where you put engagement points."
