*Boot Camp Online - The Boot Camp Course is also offered online via WebEx and Webcam technologies. Classes are on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 5-8pm Pacific Time in addition to one full Saturday 9am - 4pm Pacific Time going over the period of one month. No software is required to take the online course. A link is provided so that a participant can log in during the live online training classes. Total cost of the turn-key agency startup and support solution with this online training option is the same as the in office training - but allows people to do the training from their home at nights and weekends. Note: Previous work experience in sales (any industry) or current referral contacts in the senior care industry (i.e. you know people who work in the senior care industry that could provide you with referrals) is highly recommended to take the online course. Individuals who cannot show prior sales experience or industry contacts are highly encouraged to take the in office Boot Camp where they will receive more in depth face to face sales training. Sales is critical to one's business success - so we want to ensure that everyone has the appropriate sales skills before launching their business.
