FAQ

	What topics will be covered?
	We'll walk you through the entire form filling process, from creating a new report to final delivery and beyond. Here's a sample of the topics: . WinTOTAL Basics . Comps, Photos and Maps . Pocket TOTAL . Report Management and Archiving . Business Development . Appraiser XSites . XSellerate . Order Management and Delivery . Billing and Accounting
	Will there be CE credit?
	No. Our training courses are constantly evolving. As we add new features and change existing ones, we have to change our seminars as well. Unfortunately, changing courses constantly doesn't go over well with the state appraiser boards. You demand that we offer training that helps you save time and maximize your proficiency. That's what we're offering. Besides, wouldn't you rather have current training over current products rather than a course written 8 years ago covering the same stuff year after year?
	Can I bring my laptop?
	Absolutely. Note, however that access to power outlets is limited, so make sure that your laptop's battery is fully charged each day. And, with 200 attendees expected at each seminar, we may not be able to troubleshoot technical problems during the session. If you're having a problems, please contact our technical support department for assistance before you arrive.
	I'm Platinum and I attend for free. Can I bring an associate?
	Absolutely. You can bring an unlimited number of associates for $199 each.
	Why aren't you coming to my city?
	We make every effort to select cities around the country that are easily accessible to a large majority of our customers. While we'd love to be able to hold seminars in every major city across the U.S., it's simply not practical or cost effective. If we're not in your city this year, then look for us next year. We try to mix it up a little every year.
	Why is there a materials fee? I'm Platinum and I attend for free.
	Yes, Platinum Partners can attend for no charge. However, we purchase materials based on the number of reserved seats. If you register for the seminar, but fail to attend, we have to recover our costs for materials and catering. You must cancel at least 14 days prior to the events to avoid the materials fee.
