Pepper Stark seminar

This morning I attended a three hour seminar given by Pepper Stark on stock image distribution. Liz Pepper, Claudia Stark and their small team are consultants for the stock image industry. Specifically they are involved with recruitment, sales training, contract negotiation & distribution management. Each member of the team has solid industry credentials.
The seminar was attended by 7 or 8 delegates. We were a diverse bunch: Representatives from editorial libraries, a historic archive manager, an individual photographer, and a commercial production company rep (me).
In a nutshell these 3 hours were well worth the £120 fee. The coverage was well structured and given the timeframe comprehensive. Throughout the seminar Claudia and Liz were happy to field questions (I raised many). They dealt thoroughly with everything that was asked and I came away with a broader, more realistic understanding of the stock image distribution process as a result.
Pepper Stark seminars - Highly recommended.
