Live demos don’t lie
January 31, 2006
In our world of Webcasting we frequently come up against competitors. When we discover a competitor we always visit their web site and check out their offerings to see what we are up against. Inevitably we discover the competitor has no examples of their work on their web site or they have examples that just don’t work very well. For example, we see one competitor that uses passive pop ups and tells you to disable your pop up blocker. Another competitor only supports I.E. and yet another makes you call their sales staff to get access to a demo.
There is one big constant in all of our competitor’s sites: none offer live webcast demos. How can you claim to be a webcast service provider if you don’t offer live webcast demonstrations? If you are in the market for a live webcast provider you should demand to see a live demo of their work. You should ask to see their registration system, their slide show control and their post event reporting.
Well, enough of my ranting for today. We at WGI are in the business of providing live and on demand webcast services and we want to invite you to our weekly live demonstrations. Each Tuesday at 3:00PM ET we run a live web seminar that teaches the difference between a webinar, a webcast and a video conference. This event is live and features streaming audio, synchronized slides and an audience Q&A. Then at 3:30PM ET we do a live video webcast with slides and Q&A. We are so confident in our services that we want our clients and prospects to check out our work before they buy. Hope to see you there, http://www.webcastgroup.com
