Well, what we covered was all really important stuff, some of which was mainly common sense. And I'll certainly be trying out the ideas I picked up. The trouble was, I know the speaker's someone quite well known. He's even had a book in the best-seller list, but his style wasn't exactly entertaining. I noticed that a few of the other participants looked rather fed up, too. I was just glad that it was only a half-day event. I usually enjoy seminars. It's a chance to get away from the office, and there's the opportunity to share experiences. I know these events aren't cheap, especially when the speaker's somebody well known. At this particular seminar I went to, the speaker was unknown so I was unsure how good it would be, but I found it really useful. It gave me new ideas on selling techniques, which I've already started using with some success. So I'd say it was well worth the fee.
