Q. What is attendance
like at The Odd Couple Seminar?
A. Large enough for interesting networking
-- small enough that you will get a chance for the one-on-one
interaction and attention you need!
Q. How is this different
from a NSA (National Speakers Association) meeting?
A. This is smaller, tailored to your
needs, and very honest:
- Each registrant will be sending in his or her pre-conference
questionnaire so we will have a sense of what attendees'
needs are
- There will be more one-on-one opportunities
- 2 seasoned and highly successful speaker/consultants will
tell you the truth, up close, in person, and uncensored!!!
- In this setting we are not governed by the antitrust laws
which affect NSA gatherings, and we can discuss fees frankly...and
any other sensitive matters...
- Sessions are more extensive, and there will be time and
attention for your questions.
Q. How will the Odd
Couple be tailored to my needs?
A. All Odd Couple registrants are
asked to complete a
pre-conference questionnaire. Please fill it out as
completely as possible and return it promptly. We want to
know what aspects of marketing and strategy are most important
to you. Click here for
the Odd Couple Pre-Conference Questionnaire online.
Q. Are there any faculty
apart from Alan Weiss and Patricia Fripp?
A. Yes, Chad Barr, president of President, CB Software Systems, Inc. and Alan Weiss' business and web technology expert. Enjoy Chad Barr's article, "Eight Tips to Drive more Traffic to Your Website."
Q. Do people attend
the Odd Couple Seminar more than once?
A. Yes! Once you have attended the Odd
Couple Seminar you can return as an alumnus. Your investment
for the seminar is discounted. Click here for discount information.
Q. Can I get an agenda
for the Odd Couple Seminar ?
A. Yes! Click
here for an online copy of the Odd Couple agenda.
Q. Will this year's Odd
Couple Seminar be recorded?
A. No. However,
you can invest in a past Odd Couple Seminar on CD. Each
year has new information and as Fripp and Weiss respond to
the issues of the audience, each session has its own personality.
If
you cannot make it to this year's Odd Couple Seminar, you can take
advantage of content-rich resources to improve your
professional speaking, consulting, or coaching business. (Click through for more information.)
Q. Is there a
cancellation policy?
A. Yes. Registration Investment will be refunded, less a $100 administration charge, for cancellations prior to May 24, 2011. On May 24, 2011 and thereafter, no refunds will be issued; instead, any registrants canceling will be given registration credit towards the 2012 Odd Couple Seminar. Cancellations must be made via voicemail (Patricia Fripp: 415-753-6556) AND written message (email to: pfripp@ix.netcom.com / fax to: 415-753-0914); cancellations without both forms of notification will be treated as no-shows. No refunds or credits will be granted for no-shows. (After all, your mother taught you better manners.) Registration to the Odd Couple Seminar is based on your acceptance of this cancellation policy.
