Telecourses are short,
to the point and affordable! And, if you missed a course you would have loved
to attend, you can access an audio version
here! TELEPHONE CHARGES: The phone call is not toll free, so you will be charged for the call. However, there are some easy, inexpensive ways to make long distance calls these days, so here are some ideas: 1. Look into free long distance service. Most major phone companies now have free long distance for a very reasonable price -- less than $50.00 per month. 2. Get a phone call to use just for business. You should be able to find a phone card at any of the big box stores for around .03 cents per minute -- that works out to $1.80 per hour! Plus, it's a write-off as a business expense on your taxes! There's an Internet service -- www.callingcard.com -- which has extremely low rates and can be purchased from your computer. 3. Investigate services such as Skype.com, which offers free telephone service over the Internet. PET OWNERS: If you are an owner taking a live telecourse to increase your knowledge, welcome! We are delighted that you take enough interest in your pet to make the effort to learn about behavior. However, please be aware that these courses are designed for animal professionals. Because of the time limitation, the speaker is not able to address individual situations, so please refrain from asking questions about your pet. If you do ask questions and they become incompatible with the goal of the course, either the speaker or a representative of Raising Canine will politely ask you to hold your questions. Please do not think that this means we are unsympathetic to your issues – it simply means there is not time in the course to do an analysis of an individual case and the questions are taking away from the other course attendees' learning experience. We do have audio-taped courses that are specifically designed for owners; additionally, all the courses are audio-taped, and we welcome you increasing your knowledge of your pet's behavior by taking these courses - they are a valuable resource. In the audio-taped courses by category, we have a list of owner recommendations; these courses will give you the basic academic background to delve deeper into how animals learn and why they behave as they do. If there are specific topics you would like to see addressed, please contact Raising Canine at info@raisingcanine.com with your suggestions. We truly appreciate your interest and enthusiasm. NOTICE: Once you've ordered a live course you will either get a receipt and then an e-mail from Raising Canine telling you that shortly before the course you will be sent the access information and materials (if any); or, you will get a receipt, an e-mail from Raising Canine with the access telephone number and another e-mail with a link to download the course materials. You MUST download the materials within 24 hours -- please put the phone number in your calendar and download the materials to a location you can find (you might want to put the location of the downloads in your calendar!). Also, you may enroll almost immediately before class time; however, you should allow at least 15 minutes to receive your access information. Also, be aware that if you have problems, it's unlikely that anyone will be available to help you once the class has started. If you need help, send an e-mail, and hopefully we'll have time to check.

$Marketing Mentor Group Course Presented by Veronica Boutelle Date: July 9, 2008 - August 20, 2008 Time: 5:00pm-6:30pm Central
Are you ready to roll up your sleeves and start a serious marketing program to grow your business now? If so, Raising Canine and dogTEC have joined forces to bring you a very special Marketing Mentor Group. It starts July 9, 2008 and runs for 7 weeks; if you jump right in you will have an effective marketing project to grow your business completed before 2008 is over!!
Do any of the following describe why you haven't started, finished, or followed through with the marketing you know you should be doing?
Active – Are you too busy to find the time to market? Finances – Are you worried that the cost of marketing will be more than you can afford? Regularly unprepared – Do you find yourself driving by a vets office, but don’t have any marketing materials with you? Avoidance – Do you find yourself deliberately unprepared, finding something else to do, or taking an alternate route so you won’t have to stop at the grooming salon? Inconsistent – Do you drop materials off at a vet’s office, then not go back for 6-8 months? Distressed – Does your stomach start churning when you think about talking in front of an audience?
If you’ll notice, the acronym for all the above is “AFRAID!” Don’t worry – it’s perfectly normal, and most people do the same things. However, the difference between a successful business and one that fails to meet its owner’s goals is the person who actually does the marketing, despite being afraid.
Enrollment is limited to eight people, so don't hesitate -- this is a wonderful opportunity to materially increase your business.
We must have 6 people enrolled before we will run this class. If, for any reason, the class is cancelled, you will have the option of waiting for the next class or having your money refunded.
