What exactly is a Fone Forum?

A Fone Forum is a live teleconference call where you get training, coaching and education, much like a seminar, workshop, class or group coaching, but instead of the traditional face-to-face setting, Fone Forums are delivered over the telephone.

What can I expect during a Fone Forum?

All Fone Forums include (a) a presenter who is an expert in the subject matter being presented, (b) participants who have pre-registered, (c) informational materials, and in most cases, (d) a professional moderator who keeps everything running smoothly.

During the Fone Forum, the expert presents information, insights, and methods you can put to use in your own business, career or life. Fone Forums can also be highly interactive, allowing participants to ask questions so the information is always meaningful to their own situation.

To get the most out of your Fone Forums experience, see the Fone Forums Participant’s Guide.

Who leads the training, coaching and educating?

Fone Forums are led by experts who are chosen for their demonstrated knowledge on a specific subject, and include industry specialists, trainers, moderators, coaches, teachers and authors. They are selected as the most qualified person to present the information to the participants.

The moderator acts as interviewer, time-keeper, and coordinates the exchange between the presenter and the participants so that the call runs efficiently.

When do Fone Forums take place?

Fone Forums are held regularly and are scheduled in advance for a specific date(s) and time and posted on the Fone Forums online schedule.

Where do Fone Forums take place?

The location is entirely up to you! Anywhere you have access to a telephone means that the classroom essentially comes to you. And you're not tied to a computer during your Fone Forum. You only need a computer to register, or to access and print your informational materials when needed.

How long do Fone Forums last?

Fone Forums are typically scheduled for 60 or 90 minutes in length, and can be either a one-time event, or spread out over a number of weeks or months.

How much do Fone Forums cost?

All Fone Forums are priced individually as outlined on our schedule. We also offer free Fone Forums periodically throughout the year.

Are there any additional charges?

You participate in Fone Forums by dialing a telephone number, and that number may be outside your city. Therefore the ONLY additional cost to you would be the standard long-distance charges billed by your long distance carrier (Sprint, MCI, AT&T, etc.). Nothing extra should appear on your telephone bill other than your call to the Fone Forum number itself.

How do I register for a Fone Forum?

You can register for a Fone Forum on our schedule page. Once you register, you’ll receive an e-mail confirming the date, time, and phone number to call to participate, and will also include informational materials if included in your particular Fone Forum.

On the scheduled time and date, participants call the Fone Forum telephone number provided, and the learning begins!
