Finding Answers
"I was in a super-store looking for upholstery cleaner with my two sons who were playing bumper cars with two shopping carts," recalled our busy shopping mom.  "Today, I needed help finding something, so I asked the girl wearing the 'How Can I Help You' vest what aisle the upholstery cleaner was on."

"She stared at me with one of those deer-in-headlight expressions, then asked quite timidly 'What is upholstery?'  I explained to her that upholstery is the fabric on furniture.  She said, Oh ... I don't think we have anything like that.  Knowing that they did, I wandered up and down the aisles with bumper cars in tow and eventually found the upholstery cleaner on my own."

Offering to help, but not actually having the knowledge to help doesn't really do anybody any good.

Saving Time
Online Workshops save time by showing you upfront how knowledgeable a particular merchant or organization is (for example, do they actually know what upholstery is?) and how willing are they to help without you having to commit to making a purchase or becoming a paying member upfront?

As our busy shopping mom explained, "Knowing a person with expertise will be available to provide assistance if needed is a breath of fresh air in a world of blank-expressioned employees and automated service departments."

Making Life Easier
Attending a go2 Workshop - ran by real-world professionals who have gained their knowledge hands-on in the trenches of everyday life - provides us consumers with the advantage of being in touch with people "In the Know", without any cost or pressure to make purchases.

When a merchant or organization conducts an online workshop or discussion room or interactive blog, "I truly appreciate it," she explained, "because the way I look at it is that the merchant has just provided me with an invaluable resource: Themselves and Their Knowledge!"

• Imagine learning and exploring subjects that interest you from the comfort of your home, whenever it's convenient for you (at 3 am in the morning in your bathrobe and bunny slippers, if that's what suits you)

• Imagine communicating with experienced people, who can actually help you solve everyday problems

• Imagine having your own personal team of experts only a click away
