Logan Lyles: How to Turn Webinars Into Sales Conversations (Without a Bigger Audience)

Logan Lyles: How to Turn Webinars Into Sales Conversations (Without a Bigger Audience)

02 Feb, 2026

In this episode, Virginia talks with Logan Lyles about:

  • Logan’s path from journalism (2008) to B2B tech sales, then podcasting and demand gen
  • Why webinars still work—when you treat them like a conversion system, not a one-off event
  • Logan’s best-fit clients: B2B (especially agencies, professional services, SaaS)
  • Client acquisition on LinkedIn
    • “Starting a new position” post + profile optimization
    • Research survey outreach as a conversation starter (and pipeline generator)
  • Webinar promotion that actually works
    • LinkedIn Event strategy (including inviting up to 1,000 connections/week)
    • Boosting event posts with event ads
    • Cold email as a webinar registration driver
    • Partnerships/newsletter placements to reach warm audiences
  • Evergreen vs live webinars
    • Logan’s approach: go live first, then convert to on-demand and keep promoting
    • Re-promote the best-performing webinar instead of reinventing each month
  • Scaling a service business the smart way
    • Document first, then delegate/automate
    • Avoid delegating before you’ve refined the process

  • Demand Shift
  • LinkedIn Events
  • WebinarSurvey research project
  • Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss
  • “Do it, document it, delegate it” (referenced from an interview Logan did with Trainual’s cofounder)
