POINCIANA, FL...When Retail Business Kit for Dummies author Rick Segel talks, retailers make money. With the recent announcement of his teleseminar series for 2008, even more retailers will have the opportunity to share in the wisdom of the industry"s prolific speaker and author of such titles as The 5000 BEST Sale & Promotional Names & Ideas Ever Compiled, How to Run a Sale and The Essential Online Solution: The 5 Step Formula to Small Business Success.
E-Commerce Revisited, the first of six 90-minute teleseminars, kicks off the 2008 schedule on April 3 at 8 p.m. EST. Segel and Web guru Roland Lacey will discuss the latest and greatest breakthroughs in the e-Commerce world. The subjects and dates for the remaining five teleseminars are:
Session II - The Art of Running A Promotion ... the best ones and how to do them, June 19, 8 p.m.
Session III - What Would Happen If, August 14, 8 p.m.
Session IV - How To Find "Em, Hire "Em, and Keep "Em, September 18, 8 p.m. EST
Session V - The Numbers Made Easy, October 16, 8 p.m. EST
Session VI - How to Sell Like a Pro, November 13, 8 p.m. EST
"As a former retailer, I know how crazy the "typical day" can get. It doesn"t always leave a lot of time to go hear somebody speak, even if you know it will benefit you and your business," said Rick Segel. "With these teleseminars, people who want to listen in can do so from home, the store or just about anywhere where there"s a phone or an Internet connection."
The cost for each 90-minute teleseminar is $39 or $195 when you purchase all six sessions (a savings of $39 or one free teleseminar). Upon registration, you"ll receive an e-mail with call-in number and passcode. Just dial in five minutes before the show, enter your passcode and you"re good to go. The presentation itself is 60 minutes long, with a question-and-answer period afterwards. Listeners can either ask their questions live or submit written questions via the Web site prior to the event.
"The 2007 teleseminar series was very well received by individual retailers, but also quite popular with franchisors who purchased the series as a training tool for their franchisees. Some chambers of commerce, economic development groups and Main Street organizations have purchased the entire series, then resold it to their members as a great fundraiser," said Segel. "We"re very excited about this year"s teleseminar series and looking forward to getting the same kind of response."
