True story. I was on another so-called expert's teleseminar recently and he did something I've never experienced before, and it was not a good thing!
Like many teleseminar leaders he decided to open up the call for questions, but here's the really strange part. Instead of using whatever system he was on to identify people with questions and call on them, he just started calling out area codes and then making that caller live and asking if they had a question!
What is this high school pop quiz time? An attempt to try and call on the kid at the back of the room who appears not to be paying attention and embarrassing him?
Of course the result was either dead silence, or a shaken-up person saying they didn't have a question, or were just there to listen and so on. It led to a very negative energy on the call, and left me cringing for the rest of it. You could just sense the downward spiral for the call from there.
If you're going to give teleseminars yourself--and for infopreneurs, giving teleseminars is an important part of your marketing and information product and service creation--it always pays to listen to the trainings of others so you can learn what to emulate, and, as in this case, what not to.
Moral of the story: Don't put your teleseminar participants on the spot! If you don't have a bunch of people with questions before or during the event, you're doing something wrong. Your teleseminar should be getting the wheels turning in the minds of your participants voluntarily!
