"Tele-seminars are a great way for people to gain access to a topic without the investment in travel and time that accompany a traditional class,” said Russ Seagle, director of the Small Business Center. “From the comfort of their own homes, participants can simply call in, learn and interact with other participants and the instructor.”

Three topics will be addressed in the series, including Start Your Next Business for 30 Cents on July 12, How to Publish a Book on July 19, and Harness the Power of Charm on July 26. All seminars will be from 7:00-8:30 p.m.

"Tele-seminars tend to be shorter than face-to-face seminars, and they’re very heavy on usable content because, on the phone, there’s no room for fluff. It’s all meat,” said Seagle. “Participants won’t be put on the spot or asked direct questions. After they let the instructor know they’re on the line, they can just sit back and learn.”

To register for any or all tele-seminars in this series, call the Small Business Center at 828.488.6413. Participants will be given a telephone number and access code to the seminar, as well as a few instructions and pointers on having a successful tele-seminar experience.
