Matt Isbell is Number 1

Cobra Resources, Inc.

Matt Isbell, the #1 COBRA educator, will EMPOWER YOU to succeed!

A pioneer in the COBRA compliance educational field, Matt presents over 80 public federal compliance seminars a year throughout the country. Known for his fresh, positive approach to COBRA training, Matt brings the law to life for each attendee through the use of humor, straightforward examples, timelines, and a comprehensive seminar manual including sample COBRA notifications. One attendee described his seminar as "an event not to be missed."

Matt will not only EMPOWER YOU to take charge and be more confident in your abilities, he will take some of the stress away that is associated with your important responsibilities. He'll literally become a part of your staff.

Features & Benefits
At every Matt Isbell seminar, you'll find a constant theme throughout the day, which is making your job easier. Here's how:

No scare tactics! No sales pitches! No doom and gloom! Since we are not a COBRA administration company, we hold nothing back. Every seminar stresses a positive approach to administration, a "can do" philosophy that helps you relax, which helps you learn better.

Updated COBRA Sample Notices! Not only have we drafted 21 sample COBRA notification letters, updated according to Department of Labor regulations, we have put them on our website for you to access. Simply customize to fit your company needs. You no longer have to worry if you have updated, complete COBRA notifications.

Unlimited Questions and Answers During and AFTER the Seminar — free for 30 days! With Matt, there is no such thing as a Q & A period, he takes questions throughout the day to encourage discussion and a deeper understanding of the concepts. And it doesn't stop at the end of the day. Attend a Matt Isbell seminar and you'll receive FREE 30-day unlimited telephone and e-mail support for after-seminar questions.

Access To Private Seminar Attendee-Only Website Resource Center! Have you been looking for one place to go for your compliance answers?
Attendees gain access to a private website which contains a wealth of federal compliance resources for your easy reference.

All the latest Regulations, Rulings, and Court Cases! You can count on the fact that each seminar is ALWAYS updated to reflect the latest in administration regulations, rulings and court cases. You will leave the seminar room with the most current information available!

Agenda
While the actual agenda changes as the administration requirements are modified, or new regulations are issued, we do concentrate on solving many of the everyday COBRA problems faced by administrators. Seminar attendees include all COBRA administrators, new and veterans.

As a seminar attendee, you’ll receive all this:
COBRA Manual and administration tools; private attendees-only web site access; and COBRA Flash E-mail Update Service. (We'll even include the coffee…)
