Virtual Classroom from Auction Selling 101
Well, it was only yesterday that I wrote about Auction Selling 101 but today (Sunday 12th August) I received notification of the first live training event. As the virtual classroom software is number one on the list of Auction Selling “secret weapons” I felt it was only right that it deserved some attention.
The software to run the live training events (yes, it’s a standalone application) is downloaded from within the membership area of the site. It’s pretty sophistically but at the same time simple to use, allowing you to see the Mr Black & Mr Blue though a web cam, as well as allowing those participating within the conference to join in using their pc microphone or chat by using the keyboard.
The first session lasted for 1hour and 45 minutes, with a whole range of subjects discussed. The Auction Selling hosts were pretty flexible about the direction the session was heading & the subjects discussed. The quality of the audio seemed to be a small issue during the session, but something the team were made aware of so it should be tackled and improved shortly.
During this first session we also gained a further insight into the eBay accounts of Mr Black & Mr Blue, as well as some specific product details including profit margins. One example shown, were some cycling shorts which were being sold at $20, making a profit of $10 each sale. Questions from members took up a large part of the session, with nothing being avoided.
Both hosts, admitted they were new at using the software & that things would improve. However the small audio problem, would be no disadvantage when being compared to the knowledge, experience and insight being picked up from this lesson.
I immensely look forward to the second virtual classroom session from Auction Selling 101 to see what gems we pick up next time. If you join or are already a member, I’ll see you online at the next session. With more sessions already being planned hopefully it won’t be too long before we get to do it again. More details at our previous post below or at the Auction Selling 101 website.
