Review on DW's Home Study Course
Let me begin by saying I'm in the home study course. My voice is in there asking questions with a few other girls. I took the teleconference seminar over a year ago (or just about) and was recorded during the entire conversation (which lasted well over eight hours). I lost my notes after that seminar and was unable to study ever again.
The 7 CDs are about 7 hours long in total. In my opinion, CD number SIX is the most important CD to listen to out of all of them. Most of the information in the first five CDs don't even need to have notes written down and are mapped out well in the instructional booklet provided. BUT I WOULD NOT SKIP THE FIRST FIVE CDS! They teach crucial sales skills and discuss things commonly talked about in this community such as sitting in laps, what to wear and even what accessories go with what.
In another note: There is some conversation cut out (that I was, again, there for) so some instances don't make sense for a few moments. Like at one point I had a conversation with Adam in the CD and most of it was cut out except the question - which REALLY made the question seem out of place and wtf-y UNTIL it was answered and seemed okay. It happens a couple times (maybe 3 or 4) so you might raise an eyebrow and then OH and get the point.
The home study course helped me retake my notes and (even better) listen to the course at my own pace. I spent 3 days studying instead of the NINE or so hours I spent with a hot phone against my ear over a year before.
To get the most out of the course, PLEASE TAKE NOTES. It's very important. There's very good information.
Information I feel is never touched upon in SW that is discussed in DW:
Saying the word 'try' to someone. - Disk 6
Saying the words 'but' and 'however' to someone. - Disk 6.
Like I said, DISK SIX IS CRUCIAL. You will be taking 90% of your notes from this disk.
-----
Overall, all the disks were good and needed, but much of the information is extremely centered in one location. So you will be pausing a lot at some times and sitting there tapping your pencil at others - but all the information is crucial.
If you get bored at disk 4, remember that this is going to be a preempt to a longer more in depth conersation later.
-----
At the price it is currently, it is a VERY good investment. You should make back that investment within the first two days of the seminar. The first if you took enough notes. It's a very good thing to purchase towards your future income.
And it's much better than my previous review now that I can actually USE my notes. Ha.
