It's a fact - people are visual learners. When they hear something such as a piece of audio or a conference call on a certain topic, it is just too easy for eyes to wander and minds to do the same. If you really want to keep a person's attention it is very important to give them some kind of visual aid to allow them to stay focused on take in the maximum amount of information they can. No matter what type of learner a person is, they will learn more when there is a focus on what is being discussed at that moment.



Yet, when it comes to business, we don't think twice about jumping on the phone for hours on end. Meanwhile, on the other side of the line, people's eyes are wandering. Searching for something to focus on. The result of this is that you lose the attention of your listeners and they may even end up not knowing what you are talking about.

Not too long ago I was attending some conference calls on a certain topic. The calls were of great quality and the speakers were well versed in their topic. When you get on this type of call, though, there is often a reference to a website or part of a website that they would like you to visit. This happened on these particular calls and it caused a bit of confusion. You see, the guests were from all over and had different levels of experience with what we were seeing and also all on their own computers looking for this. Many couldn't find the information right away and much time was spend repearthing things that were already said.

Visuals are a great help for any type of conference call, but they can be especially helpful for any topic that can get technical and involved. Sure, not all conference calls need visuals. But they could all benefit from them. The more senses are involved in a learning session or any form of experience, the longer people remember it. So how can you add visualization to your audio conference calls? Simple. By adding web conferencing.

If you're unsure what that is, here's a quick definition. "Web Conferencing is used to hold group meetings or live presentations over the Internet." - source, InternetMarketingDefinitions.com
