Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a cost?
No. This session is free for Stratford businesses, thanks to our partnership with the Town of Stratford.
Is this a sales pitch?
No. You’ll leave with practical ideas you can use right away. If questions come up afterward, you’re welcome to reach out anytime, but there’s no pressure.
Do I need to be tech savvy?
No. If you can use email, you can follow along.
Will it be recorded?
Yes. Everyone who registers gets the replay and a one-page cheat sheet by email the next day, even if you can’t make it live.
Is my business information safe?
It can be, if you know what to share. I’ll show you which privacy settings to check in each tool and what you should never paste into an AI tool.
What do I need?
A computer or phone with Zoom, and one real business task you’d like to speed up, like a quote, a proposal or a customer email.
