7. Can I book a webinar to fit my schedule? – Yes!

• You can custom schedule a webinar for your site. You simply need a minimum of 5 people for a Product Webinar or 10 people for a Professional Webinar. Call us at 1-800-281-1168 ext.4353. By custom scheduling a webinar you have exclusive access, which can allow the presenter to address your site’s specific needs.

• The cost is $100 plus the normal per/person cost associated to schedule it.

Example1: You custom schedule a product webinar for 5 people at your site, and use the 2 free product trainings from your original purchase. Total cost = $100 + 3 x $25 = $175 (plus applicable taxes)

Example 2: You custom schedule a professional webinar for 10 people at your site.

Total cost = $100 + 2 x $245 (5-packs) = $590 (plus applicable taxes)
