Episode breakdown: building a webinar that sells
Suneet Agarwal, President & Co-Founder of Reside Platform, hosts Jason Fladlien, a webinar specialist whose mastermind Suneet belongs to. Jason has built his career on live presentations for digital marketers. In this episode he lays out why webinars work, how he structures one from intro to offer, and what a real estate professional should do first.
Use webinars to sell one-to-one at scale
Jason sorts marketing into two kinds. One-to-one selling, in person or on the phone, is highly effective but inefficient, because you can only talk to one person at a time. A sales letter or recorded video reaches everyone at once but isn’t tailored to anyone. A live webinar sits between them. He can answer one person’s question in front of thousands, and someone else watching often buys because of that answer. He can also educate and sell in the same sitting.
For service businesses like real estate, he says the call to action usually isn’t a product. It’s booking a call. That lets the agent attract many prospects and choose the ones that are the best fit, which he sees as a better position than chasing one prospect at a time.
Build the best 45 to 60 minutes of you
Jason asks clients where he can find them at their very best in 45 minutes. For most professionals, the answer is nowhere. Short-form content is good at getting attention, he says, but it’s hard to change how someone thinks with it. He calls the long version the “I have a dream” speech for a brand: what it stands for and what it will do for its people. Suneet’s response was that he had homework.
He also warns that a presentation isn’t built for everyone in the room. It’s built for the small share of people who will buy and want depth. That’s why his own webinars run long, ideally four hours, with the call to action dropped between 45 and 70 minutes in. Most of the remaining time goes to working through the risks that keep people from saying yes.
Follow the intro, content, transition, offer structure
The intro runs 5 to 15 minutes and follows hook, pain, gain and position. Get favorable attention, name the problems in the way, show what’s possible once they’re gone, and explain why you’re the one to help. The content section, typically 45 to 60 minutes, delivers a paradigm shift built on the two to four mechanisms that matter most. For real estate, Jason’s examples include showing buyers with poor credit a financing path they didn’t know existed, or a loan program they could use.
Before teaching each mechanism, he sets it up by linking it to something the audience already knows, so they ask to see it instead of resisting it. He also asks the audience to commit to actually using what they’ve learned, since showing someone how isn’t enough. The transition recaps what they learned, gets a series of small yeses, and frames two choices: go it alone, or work together. The offer explains the product in two to three minutes, anchors the price, adds bonuses, then covers scarcity and risk.
The best way to sell to a cold audience is to make them warm.

On bonuses, Jason says his biggest change to the standard formula is the order. Instead of listing everything and ending on price, he shows the core offer, gives the price, then adds the bonuses so the pitch ends on value.
Optimize for the people who stay
When Suneet asked how much to worry about audience drop-off, Jason said very little at first. If the goal is to convert 5% of attendees, it doesn’t matter when the other 95% leave. What matters is keeping the 5% most likely to buy. Things that raise the stick rate often lower conversion, because they water the message down. Get the sales first, then work on show rate and stick rate.
Who leaves isn’t as important as who stays.

Attempt, observe, adjust
Jason’s advice for getting started is to pick whatever format gets you in front of an audience fastest, whether that’s speaking to camera with no slides or an automated webinar. After each one, run a postmortem on what went right and what didn’t, then build one small improvement into the next. His favorite first invitation is an honest one: you’re trying something new, it might fail, and you’d appreciate people showing up.
Before you get good, just get going.

Key takeaways for team leaders
- Build one 45 to 60 minute presentation that shows you at your best, and reuse it.
- In a service business, make the call to action a booked call, not a hard sale.
- Open with hook, pain, gain and position, then teach the two to four things that matter most.
- Set up each new idea with something familiar, and ask the audience to commit to using it.
- Judge early webinars by who stays and buys, not by drop-off.
- Run a short postmortem after every presentation and improve one thing.
