Questions about the Teleseminar Content

What kind of experience will I have in a teleseminar?
Teleseminars are intensive learning experiences that are organized around topics related to chronic pain or other subjects of interest to my mailing list that are advertised in advance. Since the planned presentations by the speakers last about 60 minutes, you can expect a content-rich presentation that moves quickly. We strive to provide quality in both breadth and depth. However, since we are serving an audience with diverse needs and interests, particular seminar may serve your needs to different degrees. You are more likely to have your needs met if you submit questions well in advance of the live teleseminar (see below). We are always happy to receive your feedback and will use your comments to continue to improve the teleseminars we produce.

Back to Top

What exactly will be covered in the teleseminar?
We will offer a “menu” of possible topics when we first advertise the teleseminar. The contents of each teleseminar will ultimately be determined by participant questions submitted in advance using the online forms:
click here (for pain patients and their caregivers/friends/relatives); click here (for pain profesionals). Teleseminar contents are also determined by questions asked during the live question and answer session in the final 30 minutes of the teleseminar.

Content is equally appropriate for professionals treating pain conditions, pain patients, and friends and relatives of people suffering from pain conditions.

Back to Top

If I want a particular subject to be covered in the call, what should I do?
Due to the number of people on the call, you may not be able to ask your particular question live, so we encourage you to fill out the online questionnaire(s) at
http://www.maggiephillipsphd.com/courses_interactive.html (for pain patients and their caregivers/friends/relatives)
http://www.maggiephillipsphd.com/courses_interactive2.html (for pain profesionals).
Questions submitted in advance using these online forms will be instrumental in determining the content of the seminar, but we cannot guarantee that your particular question will be addressed due to time constraints.

Back to Top

I wanted to submit my question in advance of the call, but the page is missing; now what?
The deadline for submitting your questions in advance of the call is the registration deadline for the teleseminar. After that deadline, we remove the questionnaire pages from our website. This is to allow time to prepare the study guide, which includes the topics requested by registrants. If you have missed the deadline, please remember that, as time permits, you will have a chance to ask your question during the question and answer session of the live call.

Back to Top

What does my registration fee cover?
When you register by the registration deadline, you will be given access to the live call, the opportunity to ask questions in advance of the call (online) and/or live on the call, 30 days unlimited access to online playback of the audio recording of the call, and a study guide to help you organize your learning as you listen to the seminar. For some teleseminars, additional bonus materials are also provided.

Back to Top

If I don't sign up for the teleseminar, can I still get a copy of the study guide?
No, the study guide is only for registered participants.

Back to Top

I can't attend the teleseminar “live; ”what can I do?
Many particiants do not participate “live” due to conflicts in schedule or time zone. We do offer 30 days access to an online recording of the teleseminar for those who register, so you do not need to be available during the time of the live call. Many people have been registering and participating in this way. Registrants also have the opportunity to ask questions in advance via the web forms, and the discussion will address as many of those questions as possible, so live participation for the Question and Answer session is not necessary.

Back to Top

 

Questions about Discounts

Is there a discount if I can’t be on the “live” call?
No. The fee is identical for all participants, whether they will be listening live, listening to the recording, or both.

Back to Top

Are there quantity discounts?
Yes. There are discounts available for people registering multiple participants simultaneously. Register 5 or more people at the same time (change the quantity in your shopping cart before checking out) and receive 20% off your entire order. Register 12 or more and get a 30% discount. This option is particularly valuable if several people in your organization wish to participate and you are able to provide them the information they will need in order to access the seminar.

Back to Top

I participated in a teleseminar in January 2008 and was told I could register for any future teleseminar for a discounted rate; how do I get that discount?
If you participated in the January 2008 teleseminar with Maggie Phillips and you wish to register for a current teleseminar, first send an email to Kohlim Jaeger at assistant@maggiephillipsphd.com to request a coupon code that you will need to enter at the time of registration. Your discount will be applied automatically when you use this coupon code.

This discount is ONLY for those who participated in the January 2008 teleseminar (and does not apply to participation in other teleseminars).

Questions about Registration

How do I register online?
Go to the registration page and follow the instructions there. To access registration pages for current teleseminars, see the Courses, Workshops & Trainings page of this website.

Back to Top

What email address should I use when I register?
Whether you are registering by mail or online, be sure to provide the email address at which you wish to receive your confirmation emails. Once you register, it will not be possible to change that email address, except in certain limited circumstances.

Back to Top

When I tried to register, I was asked for my state and zip code. I don't live in the USA; what should I do?
The shopping cart system will accept registrations from any country. On the page where you are asked for your address, if you change the country from the United States (the default) to your country, the page will reload/refresh and you will be given new options. For example, changing the country to Canada changes the Zip Code field to Postal Code and changes the State field to Province with a new pull-down menu with options to select from the various provinces.

Back to Top

I don't like to give my credit card information on the internet; how can I register?
Internet purchasing is extremely secure. Credit card companies protect you from online fraud in numerous ways and nearly all websites that process credit card payment, including ours, are protected by SSL, an extremely powerful encryption device. You can be sure that the site is SSL protected by looking for the padlock symbol at the bottom of your browser window on the page that is requesting your credit card data. In many ways, this level of security is much safer than giving your card number to someone over the phone or to a sales clerk in a store. Internet credit card processing is doubly secure because even the merchant does not have access to your credit card information.

That said, if you still feel uneasy about making a credit card payment online, you can register using a bank transfer (see FAQ below).

While we strongly prefer that you register online, we do offer a mail-in registration option for an additional processing fee of $10. The additional $10 procesing fee helps us defray the significantly increased administrative time to process your payment and registration. To register by mail, send a cashier’s check or money order (no personal checks will be accepted) in U.S. funds for your teleseminar fee plus the $10 processing charge to:
      Maggie Phillips
      2768 Darnby Dr.,
      Oakland, CA 94611 to
Your registration must arrive no later than the registration deadline. You must include a note with your payment letting us know what you are paying for and your email address (so that you can be notified of the call-in instructions). Please allow 3 days for first class mail, 1 business day for express overnight, and 7 or more days for international mail delivery. We recommend tracking services to ensure delivery.

Back to Top

Can I pay using a bank transfer?
Yes. There are two options to pay via bank transfer.

Option 1) You can use PayPal (no fees apply).

If you already have a PayPal account that is linked to your bank account, us the online shopping cart system on the registration web page and simply select the option to pay using your existing PayPal account and, after logging in, select the option to transfer funds from your bank account.

If you do not already have a PayPal account and you live in a country that allows the set-up of PayPal accounts (see http://www.PayPal.com for details), you can set up a PayPal account, link that account to your bank account, and then transfer funds following the instructions above. This will only work if you are registering at least 7 days in advance of the teleseminar registration deadline, as there is a process to set up and confirm bank account linking that takes approximately that long.

Option 2) You can do a bank to bank wire transfer (your bank will usually charge you a fee to do this). All amounts should be transfered as US dollars.

You will need to provide your bank with the following receiving account information:
     Bank Name: Wells Fargo
     Bank Address: 2220 Mountain Boulevard, Oakland, CA 94611 USA
     Bank Code: WFBIUS6S
     Routing Number: 121042882
     Account Holder Name: Maggie Phillips, PhD, Inc.
     Account Number: 0089064471

Once the funds have been transfered, you will need to send an email to assistant@maggiephillipsphd.com and tell us what you have registered for, the amount transfered (in US$) and your contact information (full name and email address). As this process takes time, please complete your transfer at least 3 days before the registration deadline to be sure that we receive your payment in time.

Back to Top

Do you accept personal checks?
No. In order to keep the cost of the teleseminars as low as possible, we do not accept personal checks.

Back to Top

Can I register by phone using my credit card?
No. To keep the cost of our teleseminars as low as possible, we do not accept credit card orders by phone.

Be advised that when you place a credit card order by phone, in most cases, the merchant is processing your credit card online on your behalf. In general, this is less secure than you personally placing the order online. Also, it is more expensive for us because of the special handling involved.

Back to Top

How can I register if I don't have a credit card?
You are welcome to ask a friend with a credit card to pay your registration fee. Simply have your friend fill in your information on the first page of the check-out process and then complete the payment using their own credit card. In this case, the receipt for payment will go to your friend. And as long as your friend used your name and email address when registering on the first page, you will receive the confirmation email and instructions for joining the call.

You can register using a bank transfer (see FAQ above) or, for an additional $10 processing fee, register by mailing a cashier’s check or money order (no personal checks accepted) in U.S. funds (see FAQ above).

Back to Top

I don't have a PayPal account; how do I register?
A PayPal account is not needed to pay using our credit card processing service. When the shopping cart system brings you to the PayPal screen (the 3rd page in the check-out process), simply use the payment options on the left half of the page (click where it says "Continue" in the Guest Checkout section.) and then enter your payment information as requested, ignoring the options to log into an existing PayPal account or to create an account.

Back to Top

When I tried to register, my credit card was declined; what should I do?
Try again. It is possible that you entered the numbers on your card, its expiration date, or security code incorrectly. Be sure your biling address matches that at which you receive your credit card bill.

If that doesn't work, use a different credit card. If you do not have another credit card, we suggest you have a friend use their credit card to submit payment. If you do this, please follow the instructions in the FAQ below to ensure you receive the confirmation email and instructions for joining the teleseminar.

You may also wish to phone your credit card company to see why the card was declined (there may be an online security hold in place or there may be a problem with your card that you were not aware of).

Back to Top

I think my credit card payment was not accepted because of the country I live in; what should I do?
Our credit card processing service (PayPal) accepts credit card payments from nearly every country, so this is not likely to be the problem. For information about PayPal and your country go to:
https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_display-country-functionality-outside and use the drop-down menu to select your country. A list of PayPal's available features for your country will be presented.

Back to Top

I'm not sure if my online registration went through; how can I tell?
If your credit card was not directly declined (see above for FAQ on that), but you are not sure if your payment went through, consider the following:

If your payment was successfully processed, you would have been sent to a web page that said “thank you for registering.”

Shortly after that (allow 1 hour), you would have received at least one email receipt confirming your payment. The first is a receipt from PayPal indicating payment was made. You will also receive a receipt from us indicating that you purchased the teleseminar. Please note that if you logged into an existing PayPal account to make your payment, your two email receipts may go to two different email addresses, depending on the email address associated with your PayPal account and the email address you used when you registered. Similarly, if your friend made a credit card or PayPal payment on your behalf, one of the receipts may go to their email address. As long as you received at least your receipt from us, you are registered.

You would also have received a confirmation email from us (allow 24 hours) with conference instructions. Be sure that you are checking the email account you provided at the time of registration, and that you have checked your junk or spam mail folder in case emails somehow went there.

If none of these things occurred, your registration did not go through. Please try again.

Back to Top

What is the deadline for registering for the teleseminar?
If registration exceeds capacity on the live call, registration for the  live teleseminar will close at that time. We encourage you to register as early as possible to ensure your live participation.

On a space-available basis, online orders must be received before 11:59 PM Pacific Time on the Monday before the Wednesday teleseminar. All mail-order registrations must be received by 6 PM Pacific Time on the Monday before the teleseminar.

Recording-only participants may register by mail or online at any time up to 7 days after the teleseminar.

Back to Top

I missed the registration deadline; can I get a recording of the teleseminar?
Yes. After the registration deadline, and for 7 days following the teleseminar, you can register as a “recording-only participant” and will receive online access to the recorded teleseminar in its entirety.

Back to Top

What is the fee for “recording-only” participants?
The fee of $50 is identical for all participants, whether they will be listening live, listening to the recording, or both.

Questions about the Confirmation Process

When I registered, I gave the wrong email address; what should I do?
If the email address you gave is an address that belongs to you and that you have access to (in other words, you can log into that account and retrieve emails), then we ask that you do not request changes to your email address with us.

If the email address you gave is one that you typed incorrectly, then send us an email to Kohlim Jaeger at assistant@maggiephillipsphd.com with BOTH the email address as it was incorrectly supplied and the correct address. You must supply both email addresses in order for us to make the change.

Back to Top

A friend or relative signed me up; is there anything special I need to do?
Yes. If your friend or relative is paying for your registration, and you and they do not share the same email address, you will need to be sure that they did (or do) the following:

1) Be sure that they enter(ed) your name and email address on the registration page (this is the 2nd page) during the online check-out process, and their own name and email address on the page where they make their credit card or PayPal payment. If they already registered and they did not do this, then you must request a transfer of registration to you. To do so, send an email to Kohlim Jaeger at assistant@maggiephillipsphd.com and include your friend's information (full name and the email address they registered with) and your information (full name and email address) along with your request.

Back to Top

I sent my payment by mail, but I haven’t heard anything; how do I know if you received it?
If sufficient time has elapsed since you mailed your payment (3 days for first class mail, 1 business day for express/overnight, 7 or more days for international mail), send an email to Kohlim Jaeger at assistant@maggiephillipsphd.com and ask if your mail-in registration has been received.

Back to Top

I just signed up online and haven’t received anything; what's going on?
Please allow several hours to receive your confirmation email. We have had several situations where there was a delay between the time a Paypal order was placed and when we received a confirmation order from Paypal. If you have waited more than 24 hours without receiving an email from either Paypal or us:
Be sure your order went through (did you arrive at the “thank you” page?)
Are you checking the right email account?
Have you checked your junk mail or spam folder?

Back to Top

It’s been a while, and I still have not received an email confirming my payment; what should I do?
If you (or your friend, if they made a payment on your behalf) did not receive an email from PayPal confirming that payment was made (and you have already checked your junk mail folder in the appropriate email account for missing emails), it is possible that your registration did not go through. If you used a pre-existing PayPal account to make your payment, log in to your PayPal account to see if it shows that you made a payment. If not, your payment did not go through, please try again.

If you did not use a pre-existing PayPal account to make your payment, send an email to Kohlim Jaeger at assistant@maggiephillipsphd.com, explain the problem, and ask her to check if you are registered.

Please note: emails are sent to you at the email address that you gave at the time of registration, unless you logged into a pre-existing PayPal account to make your payment (in this case some emails may go to the email address associated with your PayPal account).

Back to Top

I have not received any confirmation emails and I have a spam filter; what should I do?
Check your junk or spam folder for the emails already sent by us. All emails from us will come from the following address: assistant@maggiephillipsphd.com
If you find some or all of our emails have gone into your junk folder, please add that email address to your address book and/or your spam filter's “white list” (acceptable list). If you do not do so, you may miss important future correspondence from us. If you do not know how to do this, please consult your email or spam filter documantation (or simply make it a habit to check your juk mail folder for relevant emails).

If your email address is managed by someone other than yourself (for example, your email address is managed by your school or the company you work for), emails may not reach you because they are filtered by the system administrator or global spam filter. If you did not receive your confirmation email(s), you may need to use a personal email account (if you don't already have a personal email account, you can create one for free using hotmail, yahoo, or gmail) so that you can control which emails you receive. If this is the case, please contact us and provide both the email address you registered with and an alternate personal email address and request that we re-send your confirmation email(s) to both addresses.

Back to Top

I didn’t get the study guide, the call-in instructions, or some other email; what should I do?
While call-in instructions are sent fairly soon after you register (if you registered before the deadline), the study guide is not sent until one day before the live teleseminar.

Please note that all emails are sent to you at the email address that you used at the time of registration. Be sure that you are checking that email account (including your junk mail folder) for our confirmation letters. If you have already checked there thoroughly and you have not found the email(s) in question, contact Kohlim Jaeger at assistant@maggiephillipsphd.com

If you are using an email address that is managed by someone other than yourself (for example, your email address is managed by your school or the company you work for), emails may not reach you because they are filtered by the system administrator or global spam filter. If this is the case, please contact us and provide both the email address you registered with and an alternate personal email address and request that we re-send your confirmation email(s) to both addresses.

Important: if you are missing emails that you need for the live call, please contact us no later than 6 PM Pacific Time the day before the teleseminar. After that time, you may not receive emails in time for the live call.

Back to Top

I received other emails, but not the study guide that goes with this teleseminar; why not?
In order for the content of the teleseminar to closely match participants’ questions (submitted in advance using the online forms), the study guide is not compiled until the registration deadline. It is then sent to participants the day before the live teleseminar. Please look for it to arrive by email at that time. If that date has passed, contact Kohlim Jaeger at assistant@maggiephillipsphd.com to request that it be sent to you again.

Back to Top

I’m not sure if I got all the confirmation emails; how many should I receive?
If you registered online, you will be sent 2 receipts: One comes from PayPal (if you logged into a PayPal account to make your payment, this will be sent to the email address associated with your PayPal account, which may be different from the email address you used to register). The other email receipt comes from our shopping cart company and goes to the email address you used when you registered. Receipts are sent within 24 hours of your registration.

If you registered by the registration deadline, in addition to the receipts, you will receive at least 3 emails: (1) a confirmation email including call-in instructions (this is sent within 24 hours of your registration), (2) an email with the study guide (this is sent 1 or 2 days before the teleseminar), and (3) a final reminder with call-in instructions (this is sent the day before the teleseminar). Sometimes we also send a fourth email after the live teleseminar.

If you registered as a “recording-only” participant after the registration deadline (or after the live seminar was full), in addition to the receipts, you will receive at least 2 emails: (1) an email with the study guide and (2) online recording access information.

Back to Top

I received 2 receipts by email; was I charged twice?
You were not charged twice. If you registered online, you will be sent 2 receipts: One comes from PayPal and is sent to the email address you used to register (or, if you logged into a PayPal account to make your payment, to the email address associated with your PayPal account). The other email receipt comes from our shopping cart company and goes to the email address you used when you registered.

Back to Top

I received my confirmation email, but I'm still getting emails asking me to sign up; what's going on?
If you received your receipt and your confirmation email, you are registered. Please disregard any emails that are asking you to sign up -- we send emails to our entire list and do not remove people who have already registered from that list.

Questions about the Live Conference Call

What is a live conference call? Do I need special equipment or are there special fees from my phone company?
All you need is a touch-tone phone with capability of calling long-distance (or internationaly, if you are outside the USA).

A conference call is a call with many people on the line at the same time, often hosted by a presenter, in this case, Maggie Phillips. Using a touch-tone phone, you call a regular telephone number in the United States and, once connected and prompted, you an access code that we will supply to you. This code allows you to access the conference taking place on that phone line.

There are no special fees beyond those of regular long-distance phone call (or international call to the USA, if you are dialing in from outside the country).

To reduce your phone call costs, we recommend the use of pre-paid phone cards if you don't already have inexpensive long-distance service.

Back to Top

Can I use my cell phone to call the teleseminar?
If your reception is good (there is little or no noise on the line) use of a cell phone is fine.

Back to Top

Can I use Skype or other VoIP software on my computer to call the teleseminar?
Yes, VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) calls are fine. You will need to be sure that your connection will be clear (little or no noise on the line) and that you will not be dropped from the call repeatedly. You will also need to know how to dial out to a regular phone number using that service and how to activate the touch-tone features (you will need touch-tone capability to enter the conference once your call is connected). We cannot offer assistance in the use of VoIP services; please consult your VoIP service directly for help if this is your preferred mode of connecting to the call.

Back to Top

Can I listen to the live teleseminar on my computer?
Yes, we now have a conference service that allows you to access the live call over the internet (called simultaneous webcast). You will need to have the Flash Player installed in your web browser (most people with an up-to-date web browser have this already installed), and you will need to have computer speakers with sufficient volume for you to be able to hear the call (or connected headphones). This option is excellent for those participants for whom a long distance telephone call would be expensive (such as international callers).

If you participate via webcast, you will not able able to ask questions via voice; however, you can submit your questions via text using an online form that will be available during the live call. Maggie Phillips will have access to any questions that you submit during the live question and answer portions of the call. Please bear in mind that there is a slight time delay (about 15 seconds) between the live telephone seminar and the webcast, and that it takes a few moments for questions submitted by text to reach Maggie.

Back to Top

 

The call-in time is listed in a different time zone from me; what time is that where I live?
We are located California, USA, which is in the Pacific Time Zone. A good World Clock (Time Zone Converter) is located at: http://www.worldtimeserver.com/convert_time_in_US-CA.aspx
You can convert the time of the teleseminar from Pacific Time into your time using the drop down menu to select your country or city.

Back to Top

How many people will be on the live call?
The number of participants on the conference call will vary depending on registrations. Our new conference service limits the number of live callers to 200. But we can accept an unlimited number of webcast participants. In the past, our Ask the Experts teleseminars have included anywhere from 15-250 live participants.

Back to Top

What is the phone number I need to call to access the live teleseminar?
The phone number and full dial-in instructions will be sent to you once you register. If you have already registered, this information was in the confirmation email you should have received shortly after registering. If you have not received that email, be sure that you are checking the correct email account and that you have searched your junk mail folder.

Questions about the Recording

I won't be able to participate “live;” how do I listen to the recording?
Instructions on how to listen to the online recording will be included in your confirmation email.

Back to Top

If I miss the live call or know I won’t be able to attend live, should I let you know?
No, we do not need this information from you.

Back to Top

Do you offer refunds if I miss the live call?
No, we do not offer refunds for missing the live call. All registered participants have unlimited access to the recorded teleseminar in its entirety during the 30-day access period. For many participants, this is the primary means in which they participate.

Back to Top

What is the format of the teleseminar recording?
The teleseminar is offered in streaming audio format online. You will be able to pause and re-start the audio stream as you listen. Like a live call, you will not be able to rewind or fast forward the recording.

The recording may also be offered as a downloadable mp3, but we cannot guarantee that this option will be available for any given teleseminar.

My computer has a dial-up connection and is old/slow; will I be able to listen to the recording?
The streaming audio file is reasonably small and efficient, but if your computer is very old or slow, you may experience difficulty. If this happens, you will need to listen to the online recording on a different computer to have the best listening experience. We recommend your local library (many have free internet access) or an internet café for upgraded listening options.

I can't access the page where the recording is located; what should I do?
Type the URL given to you in the confirmation email directly into your browser being sure to include any special characters or underscores. Be sure you are entering this URL into the URL field (not the Search field) of your browser and check carefully for any spelling errors.

How many times can I listen to the recording?
You can listen to the online recording as many times as you want during the 30-day access period.

Back to Top

Can I listen to the recording on both my home computer and my work computer?
Yes, you can listen on as many different computers as you wish during the 30-day access period.

Other Questions

Will CEUs be offered for participation in the teleseminar?
No. CEUs (Continuing Education Units) will not be offered for the teleseminar.

Back to Top

Can I buy a written transcript of the teleseminar?
No. We currently do not plan to offer a written transcript for sale.

Back to Top

Will the teleseminar be available for sale as an audio CD at a later date?
We currently have no plans to offer the teleseminar in that format, so registering for the teleseminar during the applicable registration period is your only secure opportunity to listen.

Back to Top

I missed registering for a teleseminar offered a couple months ago; is there any way to listen to it?
No. Registration that has closed for a teleseminar means it is no longer available. It is possible that the speaker and/or topic will be repeated at a later date in a new teleseminar. To find out, be sure to check Maggie Phillips’ monthly e-newsletters for announcements of future teleseminar speakers and topics.
