"There is information available at PeSA Internet Conference that otherwise is difficult to source. The face time with experts and with people offering other services to support what we do online is valuable. Also the networking aspect is most likely the most valuable return as people on the same level as myself, doing what I am doing, always have something to share that is helpful."
"I was a little daunted at first but in no time relaxed, felt included and by the end of the day felt that I was a big part of this online retail selling tutorial. I was inspired and ready to make a go of it. My online business has not looked back since." |
