One of the easiest methods of building rapport with your prospects and clients is to conduct Teleseminars and Webinars. The technology is finally out there and the cost has become reasonable.
The challenge is finding a resource that truly services your purpose and your audience. You might have local U.S. based followers and the resources are more plentiful.
But this last month I have been working on a project that involves people from all over the world. I didn’t know some countries ban Skype and the cost of calling in to a U.S. based number can be $30-$100 US for a 30 minute call. That will eliminate the majority of your potential participants.

$9.95/month – I have been using this service about three years and have always had good quality and great service from the site. The only challenge is they do not have phone or chat access if you are having challenges. Their help FAQ is not as easy to follow as some websites but once you figure it out, it is a well done program.

Free – I used this for the first time last week and it was fairly successful. The challenge was no one could access the call in line and one of the attendees tried calling me on Skype after I started and it interrupted the recording of the call. I had to shut down and re-launch the Webinar.
