TeleSeminars are just what the name implies... Telephone Seminars.
TeleSeminars provide a means to attend a seminar/networking event from the comfort of your home, office or nearest part bench. All you need is — working — telephone to attend.
TeleSeminars link people from all over the country/world to a single event at a given time of day or night.
TeleSeminars come in various flavors, free, pay, membership, etc.
- Free TeleSeminars — could be toll-free number
- Free TeleSeminars — could be toll number and free seminar
- Pay TeleSeminars — could be toll-free number and pay seminar
- Pay TeleSeminars — could be toll number and pay seminar
- Membership TeleSeminars — could be membership in a club or organization which includes TeleSeminars as one of the features
Whatever the variation, I find TeleSeminars the way to go. Although I have often wished for longer, most are one-hour long. Some will include a free or pay CD or download of the seminar and/or other special offers to attendees. This is not the norm on all and all Teleseminar providers make their own rules about this.
On the other hand TeleSeminars do not provide the opportunity of face-to-face personal networking, although if you get there early you may be able to chat with others on the line and get a few introductions in. After awhile, if you attend the same ones each week (same provider) you get to know people. It's a fun, inexpensive and easy way to learn, mingle and network.
IN SUMMARY
What I like best about TeleSeminars is:
- I can attend where ever I am as long as I have a phone line.
- They enable me to attend via phone where it would not be feasible to attend in person, even if, they were held in my own city.
- Inconvenience of time
- Expense of travel — in my case it could be hours of travel and schlepping around for a “one-hour” seminar at a really early hour
