I attended an online session on 7.2.26 after seeing an advert on YouTube for serviced accommodation training. It landed on a day I had off so I thought ‘why not!’The session was planned to run from 10am til 4pm. To be completely transparent, I sat down at 12pm due to earlier commitments (so the first 2 hrs are my fault/responsibility, fair enough) but once I sat down, they spent about 30 minutes on upselling a course and then another 30 minutes of rather vague Q&As. Charlie Takala then hyped up a £3000 prize for a lucky viewer…which turned out to be the AFL community hub (which we were already given access to at the point of signing up for the webinar!!) After that, Nick Staab spoke for about 90 minutes on influence/sales and then sold his opportunity to sell for him by paying for the influence accelerator. The content was fine and you can see he had great speaking experience but had nothing to do with serviced accommodation.The other issue I had is that it felt lie the videos were pre-recorded (from an earlier session that was busier) and the chat didn’t show other attendee comments. For all I know I could have been the only person on the call(!). The speakers regularly talked about how much energy there was on the chat but I couldn’t feel that energy (nor do I know if it even existed on this day!)Charlie Takala then said the last speaker had to cancel due to a personal matter and they were rounding up the session early (at 3pm!)As I’ve said, I know I missed the first 2 hrs but even if those 2 hrs were non-stop SA training, it’s still only 1/3rd of the planned time…and we all know there’s at least 1hr of introduction time with these types of things.I understand you can only give a baseline level of info on the free course and I have no issue with the upsell but there was just nothing at all to do with SA and so much filler. This was very disappointing - all of the non-filler information could have been delivered in 90 mins max.
