I was on a call recently where the presenter was using Instant Teleseminar. Â I was pleasantly surprised as to how far it has come over the years. Â I always thought it was on the leading edge of teleseminar services since it came out with NConnects, but it has actually morphed into a semi teleseminar, semi webinar kind of functionality that gives the presenter more freedom in how they deliver the material.
What it has:
It has your standard teleconference features. Â Everyone dials into a bridge line and can listen to the presenter and can also talk when in conference mode. Â The presenter can also mute everyone and go into presentation mode as well. What has been added since the last time I have used the service (I admit it has been a few years), is the ability to show slides to everyone while they are listening to the presenter. Â This is close to a webinar, however there are no features like polling, Â being able to see the screen of the presenter, or marking up slides. Â It does have a chat feature so participants can comment via chat, however the webinar i was on, the presenter asked for chat questions via Facebook.
The reason why it isn’t truly a webinar service is because it doesn’t have the big feature which is to be ability to share the presenter’s screen, or allow the participants to interact with the screen so they can click on active buttons to go to an order form right from the webinar presentation.
So what situations would it make sense to use Instant teleseminar over another solution?
When to use Instant Teleseminar:
If you are starting out, and wanting to make simple information products to sell or use as bonuses, then this is an ideal solution because you can record the session with the audio and the slideshow to create a video. Â This works especially if you don’t need to go outside of the slides to a web browser or another program. Â It works great when your knowledge can be shared via slides exclusively. Â There is even a take action button at the end of the presentation that can guide participants to go to your sales page at the end of the webinar. Â A lot of webinar programs don’t even have that functionality, although they can do it via chat to some extent.
If you have limited budget and are hosting a large number of people. Â Instant teleseminar allows a large number of people to join the bridge line at a cost that is considerably lower than what most webinar service providers would charge. Â For instance, the max price plan for Instantteleseminar is 197/month and that allows for 3000 web participants (listening through the website), and 500 phone participants (a total of 3500 participants). Â A webinar service like Gotowebinar has their maximum plan at $499/mo for 1000 participants. Â That is quite a difference in price if someone doesn’t require the features needed in a webinar service.
All in all, the ability to show slides during the presentation allows for much more flexibility for the presenter compared to a standard teleseminar service like freeteleseminar.com.
