Questions cohorts actually ask
Is this only virtual?
Examples cover hybrid and remote; in-person variants are discussed in week three.
What is not included?
We do not train on sales negotiations or procurement negotiations.
Attendance expectations?
Missing more than one live practice session makes it hard to complete certification requirements.
Experience notes
Video review felt vulnerable in a good way—specific timestamps, not vague advice.
Closing techniques alone saved our roadmap forum from drifting.
