Do’s and Don’ts of Seminar Room Rental

We at TrainingroomSG like to keep our seminar room and training rooms at tip top condition, clean and well maintained because we believe this will help us to attract and retain clients who think and believe our philosophy like we do. As trainers ourselves, we have earlier rented from many different providers and now when we finally have our own seminar and training room, we know how cleanliness and the condition is plays a part in the success of our events.

After all, no trainer likes to train in a unclean, unkempt environment as the seminar room is actually the very second impression the trainer gives to his participants, the first being the location of the seminar room.

Tips to anticipate and answer questions as a speaker

A seminar can go wrong if you did not prepare sufficiently. One of the best ways to consider yourself well prepared for the seminar is when you have anticipated the questions that will likely be asked by the audience and coming up with answers and pointers to support your argument. This will give you the confidence to ask your audience if they have any questions about your presentation or product. If answered well, this will also give confidence to the rest of the participants who are in the seminar and let them form a good impression on you and importantly your product or service you are selling or promotion.

Some of the ways to garner questions to prepare are from your family members and family
You should always do a few times of dry run with your friends or family and invite them to pose questions or clarify things that you have not sufficiently elaborated on. Invite your family and friends to give you critic and help you to improve. This is the pool of people whom you can trust and rely on. Many times, the same questions that are post by your family and friends can be the same as the ones that your audience may post it to you. Hence, do adequate research on questions that you are unfamiliar with and take the questions of your family and friends seriously.

Know both the benefits and disadvantages of your product and services
Always try to illustrate the benefits of your product and try to minimise time discussing on the disadvantages of your product. However, when you are asked, never be dishonest to your audience and make claims which are untrue.

If you do not know the answer, be upfront and be candid about it. If you wish to take extra effort, let the participant know that you will get back to him after checking for the answer.

Whenever you open the floor to your audience, it is quite usual that you have audiene that disagree with some the points that you have made earlier. Do not put anyone down even if you know that he/she is not as good in your knowledge as you. But politely let the participant know that this is your opinion after research and of course he is also entitled to his/her opinion. Lastly, thank the participant for his question and feedback.

Tips to select your topic when you organise a seminar

In recent years, we can see that there is an influx of both paid and unpaid seminars taking place in Singapore. These range from educating the public on finance, investments in stock, currencies, property and internet marketing. Without a doubt, there are more successful ones compared to the rest i.e. better participation rate or sign up or take up rate. Therefore, what are the secrets to selecting a good topic so that your seminar will be successful? The first factor is topic selection

Subject Matter Expert
By being subject matter expert, this means that you have been in study for a particular topic for a consider number of years. As Malcolm Gladwell put it, it should be about the range of 10,000 hours of study before you can become good at a particular subject. This will also mean that you have chalked up sufficient experience and knowledge and mistakes along the way. Interestingly, many audience would like to listen to speakers who are ‘human’ ie those that have failed, learn relearn and picked themself after. Hence, if you have such a story to tell, it will help you to captivate your audience and sometimes this could even relate to them. If you are not experienced enough, make sure you equip yourself with enough knowledge as this might affect your branding in the market.

Value Add
Do not let your participants feel that they have wasted their time in attending your seminar. Be sincere and know enough to impart knowledge to your participants. Afterall, they have took time to come listen to you and it is good that you teach them something practical and not only a sales pitch on your product or course. For example, if you are holding a property seminar, you can share the market trends, current interest rates and yield of different housing areas and urban planning of Singapore or population growth to illustrate potential of certain areas. Sincerity sells and convince your potential clients!

Call To Action
Make sure you end your seminar with a call to action. If you like people to sign up for your course, at the end of the seminar, show the benefits of joining your class and let them make a decison. Do not let your participants leave your seminar room not knowing what you are presenting and selling. This would be a waste time for both parties.

Tips to rehearse your presentation

The success of a seminar lies on the the trainer or speaker. It is the trainer’s responsibilty to deliver an engaging, memorable and unforgettable session for the audience. Ample preparation is actually the key to determine the success of your presentation. Here are some tips for your presentation

Preparation
The number one rule is to prepare. Regardless of how many times you did your presenation before, always remember not to enter into your event without any preparation. Even if you are highly experienced, you should at least do one round of dry run. This is so that you are kept aware of the timing of your slides, and all the succint points. Missing out on some points can be crtical as to your event success. And this will lead to the disappointment of your participants

Prepare, Prepare and Prepare
For speakers who tend to suffer from stage fright and get jittery, actually all it needs to rehearse more and familiarise yourself with your materials. Do consider inviting your friends and family members to review your presentation and ask for your honest feedback. After which, act on the feedback to further improve your presentation.

Tools
Use a laser pointer to direct your audience to the points that you want them to. Remember that they are unable to read your mind and will need a visual aid to direct their focus. Also, having less than 3 points per slide will be good otherwise it may lose your participant’s focus. Usually, keep the presentation to less than 10 slides too depending on your type of event.

What time should you hold your seminar or training event?

Timing is to imperative to the success of your event as it directly affects your participant’s turnout. The timing should be catered according to the target audience which you like to attract. The different types of audience and their respecitve timing are as follows:

Students
Let’s start with the students. You will have note that students usually spend the whole day in school and can stay till as late as late evening like 5-6pm due to CCAs or tuition classes for example. In fact, this is one of the toughest group to target if you are not working with schools for their schdule. Hence, if you are attracting a general student crowd for your seminar, perhaps holding it at about Saturday noon time, about 2pm will be good. Even if the students have CCA to attend on saturday, it should likely end by 12pm. Sundays are out as students will usually spend time with family, friends and prepare for school next week.

Housewives
Holding a talk for this group is a no-no in the morning as they will have to send their children to school, perform household chores, marketing etc. Hence, a good timing for this group will be about 2-4pm on weekdays (not weekends). Later evening seminars for this group may not work too as they usually need to rush back to fetch the children from school, cook etc.

Office Workers
This group is the most busy of the lot but their timing is actually more predictable. The typical working hours for an average working adult is between 8am – 6pm. If you take into consideration the travelling time to your event location, dinner etc, a good timing to start your seminar would be about 7pm -7.30pm. Refrain from starting your event too early or later than the recommended timing as it will likely put off a large majority of the target audience. For example, if you start a seminar at 6.30pm and a typical worker ends his work at 6pm. Given only 30min to travel to your event location, this will likely discourage him from making the effort to turn up despite registering for it. Weekends (mainly Saturday) can be a double edged sword as some people like to switch off totally and rest. If you prefer to hold it on Saturday, consider holding it at about 2-3pm at a central location so that they can continue their shopping activities etc.

Tips for your invitation to your event or seminar participants

Type of Setting
Is your seminar in a formal or informal setting? For the latter, using MS words or powerpoint to design an invitation should be sufficient. With the advent of social media, social platforms like facebook, twitter and linkedin are also good avenues to invite your participants.

With a formal setting event, perhaps a professional invitation card by using the services of a professional designer may be required depending on your budget. You can still tap on social media to invite your participants and you may also want to consider advertising your event since it is a formal one.

When do you send out your seminar or event invitation?
If possible, send out the invitation 1-1.5 months before the event, this will give your participants time to plan and re schedule their personal events where applicable and inform you of their attendance. Do not send out invitations one or two weeks before the event as this may be mis-interpreted as insincere and/or lack of proper planning. Having said that, it is also not good to send out the invitation too far away from the date of the event as people tend to forget about it.

Reminder
Lastly, it is a good practice to send an sms or better still, call your participants and remind them about the event 2-3 days before the event. A simple act like this has a few advantages 1) remind your participants about the event 2) confirm their attendance 3) make last minute arrangements where necessary. By doing this, you are assured of a good turnout.

Don’t belittle the small act of a proper invitation, this will ensure a better turnout for your seminar or event. If you are looking for an affordable, cozy and convenient place to hold your event, check us out at https://www.trainingroomsg.com

Tips to determine the suitability of a seminar or training room

Before you commit yourself to a training room rental or seminar room rental for your organisation’s event, what are the factors that you should look out for?

VENUE
What is your organisation’s corporate image? And does the location befit your company’s image? For example, if your organisation is a MNC and is relatively well known, your location is recommended to be in more prominent locations for example, in town or Central Business District (CBD) area especially if you are inviting external guests to your event. This would be a more preferred choice as compared to an inaccessible place or located off the town area.

SEMINAR OR TRAINING ROOM
Does the training or seminar room you are renting befit the corporate image? For example, if your corporate image is one of serious and solemn, the room that you rent cannot have full of cartoons and drawings on the wall.

EXPERIENCE OF THE TRAINING OR SEMINAR ROOM
This involves few of your senses.

  • Look – How is the condition of the room? Does the room look run down or ill-maintained? Is the lighting of the room good enough? Is there natural light in the room, otherwise are the electrical lights sufficient to light up the room?
  • Smell – Is there any unpleasant smell in the room?
  • Touch – Is the training room kept tidy and clean?
  • Hear – Is there any construction going on in the vicinity which might affect the training?

IMPRESSION OF THE TRAINING OR SEMINAR ROOM
First impression counts. Do you think the room will appeal to your participants? Appeal varies from the comfort of the chairs to the colours, architecture of the room. Naturally, it is important that your participants are comfortable with the room the moment they stepped foot in it. Minimally, they shouldn’t have an negative impression of the training room. In summary, the training room has to be clean, neat and tidy. There shouldn’t be any waste lying around, spills on the floor/carpet or unplesant scents in the room. Just like how much property developers spend time making up their showflats because they know the look and feel and scent of the mock up showroom sells. As a trainer, this guiding principle should also help you to give your participants postive vibes even before you start your training. Never never underestimate how much a training or seminar room appeal can make on your clients.
