You'd think this needs an events team — Astra runs registration, promo, day-of comms, and follow-up so all you do is present.

The short answer

Astra runs a webinar end-to-end in 21 days. Week 1: topic selection (she pulls top GSC queries and Reddit threads from your space to find the question your audience actually wants answered), landing page built in Webflow, registration on Zoom Webinar, calendar invite logic, and confirmation email sequence. Week 2: 4-channel promo — LinkedIn organic, paid LinkedIn ads ($500 budget targeting your ICP via Apollo), email blast to your existing list via Mailchimp, and 3 partner cross-promotions she'll outreach for you. Week 3: day-of comms (1 day before, day-of, 1 hour before reminders), live polling and Q&A in Zoom, attendance tracking. After: she sorts attendees vs no-shows, sends recording + slide deck within 4 hours, drops MQLs into HubSpot with attendance scoring, and writes a postmortem on what worked. Realistic outcome: 200-400 registrants, 35-50% attendance, 15-25 SQLs.

    Follow up and score

    Within 4h: recording + deck to all registrants. Attendees get a different CTA than no-shows. MQLs scored by engagement (attended? Q&A? polls?) and dropped into HubSpot with lead source = webinar.

What it looks like in chat

I want to run a webinar to generate leads. Where do I start?
Astra
21-day plan. Quick decision first: do you want **demand capture** (people already searching for your category — narrower topic, fewer registrants but higher SQL %) or **demand creation** (broader thought leadership topic — more registrants, lower SQL %)? I ran your GSC + 12 relevant subreddits. Top 3 candidate topics: 1. **'How to cut AI API costs by 60% without changing models'** — high commercial intent, 14K monthly searches, your ICP 2. **'The 5 Claude Code workflows that 10x my output'** — broader, more shareable, lower intent 3. **'Building an agent stack on a startup budget'** — tactical, your sweet spot My pick: #1. ~280 registrants, 40% attendance = 112 live, ~22 SQLs. I'll book you for May 15, 11am PT (best slot for your ICP per Webinarworld benchmarks). If you say go, I'll have the landing page draft in Webflow tomorrow morning and the LinkedIn campaign live by Friday. Which topic?
What you get back

Live webinar with 200-400 registrants, full registration funnel, day-of execution handled, scored MQLs in HubSpot within 4 hours of end, postmortem next day.

Frequently asked questions

What if I only have 500 people on my email list?

She compensates with paid LinkedIn ($500 typically nets 80-120 registrants for a tight ICP) and 3-5 partner co-promotions (each can bring 30-80 registrants). Realistic: 150-220 registrants on a small list. The funnel still works; it just leans more on paid + partners than email.

I'm not a great presenter — can Astra help with the deck and script?

Yes. She'll draft a 12-slide deck and a verbatim script with timing notes. You can read it word-for-word or use it as a backbone. She'll also generate the 3-5 audience polls and a Q&A backup deck for questions she predicts attendees will ask based on the topic.

What attendance rate should I expect?

Industry benchmark is 35-45% for B2B webinars. Topic relevance + reminder cadence drive most of the variance. Astra's 3-reminder sequence (T-1d, T-1h, T-15m) typically lands 40-50%. She'll tell you mid-week 2 if registration projections look weak so you can extend promo.

What if no one shows up?

She'll have flagged this risk by week 2 if registrations are below 100. Backup plan: she'll record the session anyway with high-quality cuts, repurpose into a YouTube video, 4 LinkedIn posts, and an email series. The asset still feeds the funnel even without live attendance.
