About Virtual Onboarding

Using webinars to train and onboard new direct sales distributors is a game-changer. It’s like having a virtual classroom where everyone can learn together. Here’s the thing: getting started in direct sales can be tough! New distributors often face challenges making their first sales and staying motivated. That’s where webinars come in. They provide step-by-step training, tips, and encouragement to help newcomers overcome obstacles and find success. Plus, webinars create a supportive community where everyone can learn from each other.

Prep Work: Before Your Meetn®

Step 1: Outline Your Goals

• List the platforms you will livestream to using Meetn®.
• Create a mock agenda with a list of topics or products you want to cover in your Meetn®.
• List any actions you want attendees to take during your event. Do you want them to complete forms? Purchase products? Register for upcoming events? Download resources?

Step 2: Prepare Your Meetn Room

• Upload wallpaper to your room and customize your Exit URL and Top Toolbar Button.
• Will you share live video? Log into your Meetn® room the day before your event to test your lighting and organize your presentation space.
• Retrieve RTMP URL’s and stream keys to program into your Meetn® room ahead of the event.
• Upload any product-related videos or slides you would like to share to your widgets.
• Create interactive call-to-action banners and button bars to share shoppable links with attendees.
• If you have online surveys, consent forms, or registration forms to share with customers, create webpage poppers to let attendees complete the forms live.
• Script private presenter notes to help you remember important points about products, sales, or bonus-qualifying purchases.

Step 3: Invite Your Guests

• Invite guests using your vanity URL (Meetn.com/YourRoom) or by creating a one-time event link.
• Add any special instructions for the event. Will you have a special theme to make your event fun?
• Set expectations! Let your guests know if your Meetn® will be interactive, or include Q&A or meet-and-greets with presenters.
• Lay out the benefits to attending your event in 15 words or less, to create a sense of urgency. For example, “Learn about our limited-time 30% off Mother’s Day bundle!”

Live Event: During Your Meetn®

Welcoming new distributors through a webinar requires a blend of training, motivation, and community building. Equip them with essential knowledge about products, sales techniques, and company culture. Foster connections by introducing key team members and providing networking opportunities. Encourage participation through interactive polls and Q&A sessions. By the conclusion, new distributors should feel confident, supported, and ready to embark on their journey with your company.

Follow-Up: After Your Meetn®

Looking for ways to maintain engagement after the event and nurture relationships with webinar attendees?

• Include a summary of key points discussed during the webinar for their reference.
• Offer to schedule a one-on-one follow-up call to address any questions or concerns they may have.
• Invite them to join your team’s private social media groups for ongoing support and networking.
• Encourage them to share their feedback or testimonials about the webinar experience.
