The Name

Setsebi Means the Expert

Setsebi is Sesotho, the language of Lesotho, for the one who knows, because they have done it. It names the person, not a course. Setsebi is not a school and does not sell recorded modules. It is a network of people who have held the job, and the professionals who need them.

Professionals

Everyone Starts as a Professional

Follow verified experts and organisers, post in the twelve Business Networks with the nine magazine sections, message colleagues, book sessions, buy tickets, apply for jobs and internships with your profile, and switch on Open to Work. A Professional pays only for what they choose to buy.

Experts

Experts Are Paid per Session, per Seat and per Talk

Verified experts run one-to-one sessions, group sessions and trainings, answer paid chats and are booked by organisers as speakers, trainers and MCs. Every payment is held in escrow and released after the session, less the Setsebi fee of 10%.

Event Organisers

Organisers Are Paid from Ticket Sales

Verified organisers list conferences, expos, summits, forums, trade missions and awards on the register. They sell ticket types with early-bird prices and discount codes, email QR tickets, scan them at the door and book experts to speak. Ticket money is paid to them after the event, less the Setsebi fee.

Sales Agents

Agents Earn Commission from Setsebi's Own Revenue

Sales Agents bring professionals, experts, organisers and employers onto Setsebi with their own link and code, and sell featured listings, ad slots and employer seat packs. They earn 10% of the Setsebi fee on what their referrals pay or earn for 6 months, and 15% of every direct sale.

Employers

Employers Train Their People and Hire

Verified employers add staff, fund a company wallet, buy sessions, trainings and tickets for their people, post training needs and list jobs and internships. They search Open to Work talent, keep a shortlist and get one tax invoice per purchase with a report of attendance and spend.
