Why a Webinar?

It's very cost effective. No airfare, no hotels. Just cram as many people as you wish into your conference room and turn on the computer. You have two options to listen to the program--phone, or through your computer speakers. You are only charged for the connection. There is no additional charge for multiple attendees.

Our webinars are based on a radio-talk show program format. Your host, Bob Coleman, will moderate the program. He will ask questions of top-notch national experts. Their answers will be the substance of the program. A great benefit of the program is you will have the ability to ask questions directly of the panelists. Or, you may simply email Coleman during the program and he will direct your question to the panel.

How it Works

We use Go-to-Meeting as our platform. You will receive a link that will direct you to an Internet site to view the presentation. Nothing will be downloaded to your computer.

If you would like to test this process to make sure you will be able to access the link through your system's firewall, just send an email to joseph@colemanpublishing.com, and he will walk you through it.

You may choose to listen to the program separately from the webinar presentation. Before the event, we will email you the presentation that you may distribute to your attendees.

You also have the option of adding more lines for only $49. Or, get everyone in your bank involved for only $289. All we need is an email address for each station.
