With so many Pro Advisors available and all the information available, how successful is presenting QuickBook classes now days? Any classes that would be more successful than others? Is there information overload outthere?

I think it depends on your target marketing and marketing methods.  I teach monthly QB seminars (for the past 8 years) and they are usually always full (except in July & August).  They class sizes are relatively small (14-15) since it is a hands on class (with each person on a computer).  It is a good marketing tool too for getting new clients and/or referrals.  After you've taught the class, they respect your knowledge and may call you for help or refer other potential clients to you.  But, I think it is important to not come across as 'salesy' (is that a word?) during the class (ie let your knowledge speak for itself and have business cards available when they ask for them).

Do you have a sample outline you could share on the classes you do? Have you developed your own teaching materials or do you use the outline Intuit provides or The Sleeter Group has?

I started with the training materials provided by Intuit to ProAdvisors and modified it over the years.  I teach the Intro class every month, and about every other month we have the Intermediate workshop, QB for Contractors, and a few POS classes.  The Sleeter Group now offers seminar materials to their members, but I haven't seen the materials.
