“ I really appreciated the practical, clear information you shared, as well as your delivery, so I can tell that you put a lot of effort into making your webinars useful for folks - and it's definitely working I am honestly not typically a fan of webinars because I feel like they frequently fail to engage their audience (the virtual format definitely makes this harder, in my opinion) and usually lack concrete guidance and examples that folks who are working in that space can immediately start to put into practice, so yours was extremely refreshing in that it kept me engaged and offered practical tips that my team and I can start using immediately. Thank you again! ”

4. What is the cost of Larry’s webinars?

When Larry talks with you about selecting a topic or topics and finds out more about what you need, he will be able to quote a fee. The fee can vary depending on how many webinars you want, whether or not the webinars will be redesigned and customized, whether he is creating a new webinar for you, how long the webinar is and other factors.

Please note that while the variables listed above can affect the price, the following aspects of the webinars are always part of the way Larry charges for the webinars.

A. You can have as many people as you like take the webinar without any additional cost. Webinar fees are based on the number of webinars and other factors and not the number of attendees.

B. You can cosponsor the webinar with as many organizations as you like and share the cost. The cost will not change regardless of how many partner organizations are involved. Larry can send you a list of the types of organizations that have cosponsored his webinars. This can be helpful to you as you consider the option of having cosponsors.

D. The fee includes permission for the webinar sponsor to record his webinars at no extra cost. This is exceedingly rare in the world of webinar presentations. The vast majority of webinar presenters either do not allow people to record the webinars or they charge an additional fee for recording. The recording is helpful so that people that could not attend the live webinar can still take the training. Recordings can also be used as part of the onboarding process for new staff or as a refresher training so skill levels can be maintained in the organization.
