No travel is required—you attend this virtual training “live” from the privacy of your own office. This isn’t just computer training. It’s not PowerPoint. She will share her desktop and show her computer screen LIVE using her actual Microsoft Outlook software.

Each webinar is accompanied by a workbook with detailed screen shots and step-by-step instructions, so you can duplicate what Laura demonstrates when the seminar is over. It is a real-time demonstration, where you’ll follow along with your workbook step-by-step and then go implement the tips on your system.

If you look at the times and think, “Oh darn, I’m not available at that day and time,” don’t worry!! You don’t have to attend the “live” session, because each registration also includes a recording of the entire session! You can still register and receive the recordings and workbooks for the ones you missed.

In these difficult economic times, we are offering this training at a very affordable price to make it easy for everyone to attend: $39 per person. This is a single-person license. The live session, recording, and/or workbook can’t be shared with or distributed to colleagues or friends; however, if you want to project the seminar in your conference room or show it at a meeting, change the quantity in the shopping cart or call the Productivity Pro®, Inc. at 303-471-7401 and tell them how people will attend. They will charge your credit card $39 per person. We use the honor system.

These webinars are not interactive (i.e., participants don’t ask questions), because one person’s issue may not apply to all of those attending the seminar. The feedback has been that people would rather have our presenter get more content into the session. With hundreds of people in the virtual room at one time, interaction has proven to be unmanageable and not effective. However, you are welcome to email Laura specific questions you have prior to the webinar at Laura@TheProductivityPro.com.

To attend the webinar, you can use either your phone or your own computer speakers via your Internet connection. If using the Internet, we recommend you purchase an inexpensive USB headset (such as the Logitech ClearChat Comfort for around $40) that plugs right into your USB and offers great sound quality and privacy from your office neighbors. Here is a link which should answer any questions you may have about the webinar platform and the software you will need to install before the session: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/default/help/g2w/pdf/GoToWebinar_Attendee_QuickRef_Guide.pdf

NOTE: Some of the features presented require the use of Microsoft Exchange Server and may not function the same way with POP servers.
