Comment by Tammy Brodbeck, Milk and Cookeez on August 29, 2011 at 8:40pm Can't wait, now I just need to make the kids go to sleep before 8 :)


This is so frustrating for me. Many of the great Events posted are on days that I have to work my medical job. I just do not know how to keep up when I am working. Is there any way a recording of this Event can be taped for later review? As I stated above just frustrated that I can not attend.


I would love to be able to attend this but alas, it is right smack dab in the middle of bedtime routine for my little guy. Hope you all have a wonderful and informative time!

dM will this be available in it's entirety including the visuals online? I am listening via phone because I was unable to log in via the web until after 8:30. I tried logging in but I only see a listing for the next event. How much time do we have to be able to log in via the web after it starts?
Thanks!

Just finished up a fantastic IBN member call with Jim DeBetta. The audio will be posted tomorrow, along with Jim's detailed "how to get your products into retail venues" presentation and sample sell sheets for you to use with prospective retailers!
Yes, Kara, the whole thing was recorded, and you'll get the handouts and sample sell sheets. Sorry you had trouble logging in. I will contact you by email to make sure that doesn't happen again.

Hi everyone! Here's the audio recording and downloads for this exclusive IBN Member event! http://bit.ly/oak11v
