Frequently Asked
Questions about Our Webinars
What the heck is a Webinar?
Our webinars are live training sessions presented via the
internet. Think of them as online seminars. You can access the meeting by clicking on a link distributed by us after
your registration. You'll then be able to listen to the webinar
leader and view the PowerPoint presentation on your
computer.
Questions can be asked in two ways.
If you have a microphone on your computer (a headset is recommended), or
you dial in using your phone, you can simply ask questions. Or you
can use the provided chat window to send in your questions via
text.
After registration, about a week before the event, we’ll send the login instructions with a link and session ID. Participants should plan to join the meeting 5 to 10 minutes prior to the official start.
On the day of the webinar we’ll email the absolutely freshest, most current version of the handouts to make it easier to take notes and follow along.
What's the price?
Our fee is $95 for all of our webinars.
Can I get a deal on that?
Absolutely! We offer package
pricing where you can purchase three webinars and get the fourth
free.
Can we use a purchase order?
We can bill you directly for purchases of
packages, but not for individual webinars. And payment must be received
before the webinars. Please contact us.
If you use a purchase order and we bill you, do not attempt to sign up
using our online registration system. We'll take care of that for
you.
I see that you use GotoMeeting to host the
webinar. Do I have to
be a member, or pay extra for
that?
Nope. We pay the GotoMeeting fee. There
are no hidden fees.
Are you going to try to sell me stuff?
Nope. Unlike most other sales tax webinars
or seminars, we don't sell books, CD's, subscriptions or anything
else. And we're not trying to sell you on our software or sales tax
service either. We're a training company. That's
it! You will get an hour of content, not sales pitch.
How does this work?
We'll give you login information for the webinar about a week before
the event. You'll receive a link to connect your computer to the
webinar. You'll also have your choice of using a phone to call
into the audio portion, or a headset to use with your computer. Or
you can just listen through the speakers on your computer.
Can I ask questions?
Absolutely yes! We definitely want you to ask questions.
You can either ask using the phone, your computer headset, or you can
send in your questions via text. We keep the audience microphones muted during
the program, so you don't have to worry about background noise in your
office. When you send a text that you have a question, we'll
"unmute" you. And at the end of the program, we'll
unmute everyone just to make sure all of your questions have been
asked.
How long do the webinars last?
They're scheduled for about an hour. Sometimes they finish
early, but more typically they'll go a few minutes past an hour.
If you're budgeting your time, figure 60 to 70 minutes. And, of course, you
can leave the webinar whenever you need to.
What's your cancellation policy?
Hey, we're easy! We know about your schedule, and we know about last minute emergencies. So we're very flexible. We can easily reschedule you for another webinar,
We've even been known to schedule a special
webinar to accommodate you. So if, for some reason, you
miss a webinar, no problem!
Can I substitute someone?
Sure! All we ask is that you send us their
name before the start of the webinar. Just use the email address
at the bottom of this page.
I don't see an webinar that matches my schedule
Have no fear, we can do a webinar to match your schedule. Please
see our information on custom scheduling.
Do you do face-to-face, in-person seminars?
We'll be doing them soon. Please keep an
eye on our blog for
updates. Or sign up for our newsletter (see the column on the
right).
When will you offer your Taxing Policies by State
webinar for MY state?
If you're in one of largest states, you'll see a Taxing
Policies webinar offered about once every two months. For the rest of
the states, we'll get to them a couple of times a year. However,
if you wish to custom schedule
a webinar, that'll get your state on the schedule pretty easily.
What's the deadline for registering for a
webinar?
If you see the webinar on this site, then it's still open for you to
sign up. Taxing Policies
webinars will cancel if there are no registrations 24 hours before the
event (which happens with the smaller states). So, once you
know you're going to want to join us, please register. We won't
cancel a date, even if only one person has signed up.
Who presents your webinars and seminars?
The president of the company, and the Sales Tax
Guy,
Jim Frazier. Here's his bio.
