I attended a” How To Correctly Start An Internet Marketing Business” seminar last Saturday April 10, 2010. Much to my disappointments are the following...
Venue: I was hoping for a more comfy casual-corporate type of a setting since we are talking about Sarrosa hotel, I am not ranting about the hotel but the place we held the seminar. It was at the left wing and it was the bar night club kind of place that still had its hangover from the last night’s operations. The smell is stinky and the comfort room was uncomfortable after all, synonymous of cancer chamber due to second hand smoke.
Food: The amount I paid, for myself in my own opinion is not cheap. But let’s not talk about that yet. The snack in morning is a very plain sandwich that does not even require thinking. Plain bread with spread, 3 layers and divided it into two, paired with what? Oishi Sundays mango flavour! Lunch... it’s terrible that I want to go and eat outside. I am not satisfied at all. One small slice of what? Roasted chicken, a cup of rice and side dish of cute veges, well at least you have a choice of a glass of coke or sprite? Mind you people, we have vegetarians and you have somebody who does not drink sodas. I went all the way to drink-all-you-can water. The sad part is the afternoon snack which they served around 4:00 or 4:30 pm. really sad because I was hungry and isn’t it not supposed to be served around 3:00 pm? The sadder part of that sad part? The cake was paired with eight o’clock or tang, one glass. I feel like my meal is just worth 200 or less.
Price: Early bird cost 2, 777.00 pesos. As I said, is not cheap for me. I saved it up just to attend this seminar and it is not a good value for the money. No offense Bo but I really had your word when you sent me that article. I did not expect something like that.
Seminar itself: I have encountered that one before, I already know what dreams are, I pretty much know what I want and it is way too different when you ask somebody what they want and what they love. Do you get it? When you say I love this, you love that, you have had experienced it. In contrast to “I want this”, you want to experience it. Do you see the difference? Some websites were mentioned but there were no details, there was this kind ‘a overview with someone’s experience and WOW jaw dropping income from internet marketing so fascinating that I don’t want to get envious.
Coordination: There was no registration. When I went inside, I have to ask other participants what to do and where to go. I have not distinguished the organizers from the rest; I have no clue who to approach. At times there were dead airs. Nothing personal Jan but you have to harness your speaking, organizing and social skills.
Materials: I had nothing except the notes I took. We were all given the small brown envelope and mind you, they were all advertising materials like catalogues and flyers. But thanks anyway, at least I had an envelope.
Overall: I bet those people are really expensive, their time is worth a thousand pesos. Pardon me for my language but that seminar is not worth the time, the day, the money and effort I exerted. I did not assume anything when I went there, I expected to be blessed and be surprised. I was indeed surprised.
Overall rating is 1 over 5 stars, 5 being the best.
Lesson I learned? I will not attend a seminar anymore if it is not for FREE otherwise it’ll add insult to injury. LOL!
