We've held them in the past....we've had great participation but have not turned any into actual clients...... I'm sure somewhere down the road it will have a benefit, just waiting for that time!

I stopped doing them for lack of conversion. I do a mail-out every two months to an apartment complex, picking a new one each time. I usually get two or three responses and average about fifty percent closings with them. The rest I help to get to the position to being able to buy but I loose half of them to New Construction as walk- ins.

Thanks for the topic.  I'm interested in the answers!

I still try to go to as many as i can only because if you pay close attenetion to these people having them i find they bring in ideas from around the country so i think its not bad to listen and find out maybe one new trick

Spend a week at Larry Kendall's Ninja selling retreat and then start doing them.  Your whole approach will be different and I think very productive.  You can learn more about it by visiting this site:

I went to go edit my previous post but I deleted instead.  Sorry.

Thanks Tina - I'll keep you posted on I find as well.

Thanks for stopping in Keith & Robin.  I'm on the fence about them....sometimes the turnout is great and others it's so so.  I'm looking to get swayed in either direction.

Stay tuned David.......let's learn together.

Joseph & Jessica - I was talking about giving seminars....I LOVE to attend seminars to learn!  Thanks!

I did my first one this month as you know, and I loved it. I did not advertise, but rather just marketed to my sphere of influence, and people brought friends, and I felt like it was a success. Will it produce new closed sales? Not right away, but I definitely strengthened my relationship with my clients in attendance, and I am sure the referral business from that will pay dividends. I love to help others learn, so for me, it just fuels my passion for the business, which is worth a lot in terms of helping me stay excited and positive about what I do. That can only help business!

We'll have to stay tuned to see how things work out Sean!  Keep me posted - been thinking about doing a seminar, just want to make sure that it's worth the time.
