A long time ago,

at a trade show

far, far away….

(okay… it was only Orlando)

“we met in 2006, when trade show floors were still buzzing. But as scientists turned to the internet for product information, conferences started to yield less than ideal results for lead generation and nurturing…”

Page 4: Perfecting Scientific Webinars for Lead Generation

“There must be a

better way, where we

can control the time,

place and quality of

information

exchange”

“…recognizing that trade shows were still a cornerstone of our marketing strategy, we were seeking a complimentary platform whereby we were in control of the time, the information that was exchanged and the interaction process.”

Page 5: Perfecting Scientific Webinars for Lead Generation

Why Webinars?

1. BECAUSE THEY COMPLIMENT TRADE-SHOWS!!!

2. The format follows how researchers discuss and share their science… they present to one another, listen, and learn from their peers (that includes you by the way)

3. You are in control of the topics, objectives, date, time, and duration of the discussion

4. They have no geographical boundries

5. They are not a single “touch-point”

Page 6: Perfecting Scientific Webinars for Lead Generation

What are Touchpoints?

• Phone call

• Email thread

• Meeting (trade-show, on-site)

• Product demonstration

• Presentation (live or virtual)

• Content consumption

• Application Notes, Technical Guides, Videos, FAQ…

Page 7: Perfecting Scientific Webinars for Lead Generation

Audience Poll:

How do you currently capture leads?

Page 8: Perfecting Scientific Webinars for Lead Generation

Audience Poll:

How many touchpoints are typically required to make a sale?

1. Objective-Based Strategy

This is a simple mind map…

We asked ourselves…

“if we are going to help people run great webinars for lead generation, what are the important areas to focus on?”

then we continued…

The What?

2. Content: Who, What and How

BE A PROBLEM SOLVER!Identify common challenges, [if possible, regardless of the technology a scientist is using], and promise to deliver answers!.

Page 20: Perfecting Scientific Webinars for Lead Generation

The What?

2. Content: Who, What and How

JUST ASK!Simple ways to identify these “challenges” include online surveys, asking sales and support staff (they are in touch with your clients), and reviewing your FAQ and support docs.

Page 21: Perfecting Scientific Webinars for Lead Generation

2. Content: Who, What and How

The How?Go heavy on images, graphs and charts that support your message. Use video for product set up, operation, and data acquisition. Show live analysis, data processing and interpretation. A don’t forget… tell a story!

Page 22: Perfecting Scientific Webinars for Lead Generation

// Case Study // 2. Content: Who, What and How

24/7 Automated Behavior Tracking “…Dr. Will Redfern and Dr. Sara Wells discuss 24/7 monitoring of group-housed rodents in their true IVC racked home cage environment for safety pharmacology and phenotyping applications.. Key topics will include the value of studying mice during the dark period when they are most active, the importance of monitoring rodents in their group-housed social environment, integrating technology with IVC cage racks, and animal welfare (3Rs): less surgery, fewer animals, more data.

VIDEO CAPTURE

• High quality video capture for manual analysis by expert

• Automated analysis of common behaviours by behavioural recognition software

• Additional behaviours can be annotated for training the software

Effects of single-housing on subcutaneous temperature

• Decrease in subcutaneous temperature immediately upon housing singly after being housed in groups of 3

• Possible causes: group housing or rats enables intermittent ‘huddling’ with two cage mates, and may achieve a higher ambient temperature (with two additional rats generating heat)

• Illustrates just one of several physiological stressors associated with single housing (not to mention the psychological stressors).

• INCREASE ATTENDANCE rate by removing obstacles, getting personal during registration, and providing exclusive content or interaction during the live event.

• MARKET INTELLIGENCE begins at the registration form. Ask open ended questions about the challenges they face, and include fields that will help you assign a “buying persona”

• POLL EARLY, and ask your lead qualifying questions first

• Have an ON-DEMAND POLL & SURVEY collection (this will apply to 50% of your leads)

• CREATE POST-WEBINAR CONTENT where one piece supports creation of another. Cut chapters of your full webinar, and transcribe the content (voice-over) in different languages

• CREATE BUYER PERSONAS, and use the data from your master report to assign buying personas (A, B, C). Now import into your CRM.

• PLAN YOUR POST-WEBINAR ACTIVITY. Define and allocate tasks, apply deadlines, and track touchpoints.
