Activerain is coming to Dyersburg,Tennessee!

people

Of course I am talking about the planned Activerain training session next month in Dyersburg, Tennessee. If you will remember we did a post a couple of months ago suggesting that Activerain should hire a person to be a field trainer. Not only has that occurred in the hiring of Brad Andersohn but he is coming to Dyersburg for the first of (I am sure) many training sessions on how to blog more effectively on the Activerain platform.

My personal assistant just got the travel arrangements confirmed for Brad's trip to Tennessee from California.

The training will be conducted on Wednesday May 7th from 9am-1:30pm at the "new" Holiday Inn Express in Dyersburg.

Here is a map of where Dyersburg is located and also a map showing the Holiday Inn Express! We have the conference room reserved for this training. As a reminder to the Activerainers coming, "please bring your wireless notebooks for hands on interaction while Brad is training". There is limited seating left so if you are interested please call me ASAP (731-285-2277).

I just talked to the manager(Lou Adams) at the Holiday Inn Express and she said she will give us a great rate for rooms($79) but you need to call now to book(Brad will be staying here). To reserve your room, call 731-286-1021 and tell them you are coming for the Activerain training and you want the $79 deal Lou is offering us!

Here is the schedule we have came up with:

Mike:

Exactly where is Dyersburg located? I want to come!! I know I'm in FL, but I can drive to Tennessee ... almost any good excuse will get me there... but an AR event would be soooo cool. I'll google you! But it wouldn't hurt for you to post some directions if you have the time.

Jan,

I just posted that map for you. You were the first of several to call right after the featured status! Looks like we have 3 or 4 coming from Nashville, one from Franklin,Tn, a couple from Brownsville, and several from the local area. No telling how many more we will get tomorrow. It was good to talk to you on the phone and I look forward to meeting you in person!

Thanks, Mike... see you May 7th! I'll let you know if anyone else is coming with me.

Mike, I have a closing scheduled that day and I try to attend all my closings but it is on shaky ground. I intend to few up that day and hope to come. I will see if I can bring a guest or 2. I will call tomorrow once I talk to some people.

talk about the boondocks. I hope your event goes well.

Hey Mike - this looks like fun, should I put it on my calendar? LOL!~ Just kidding!! :-) Looking forward to a "Fantastic" day in Dyersburg, Tennessee!! Thanks!

I saw you added a map, but it only points to the City and State, is there any way you can put in the address of the Holiday Inn Express? Then folks can get directions from wherever they are coming. Thanks for the mention and for getting this all put together. Great job Mike!!

Mike, I do remember that blog. Congrats on pulling it off!! I have learned so much from Brad's post; I'm sure he will be a huge inspiration.

If diesel wasn't $4+/gallon, I might actually consider the drive just to hang out... But that is a couple hundred bucks in fuel. Good luck and have fun.

Mmmm... only 5 1/2 hours or so from my neck of the woods in Missouri... Sounds like a great day. You've got me thinking of a ROAD TRIP!

Mike- How fantastic is that! You are going to have a great time and learn a lot and then write the posts about all you learn! Looking forward to it!

Sounds like a good time will be had by all. We look forward to hearing about this event -- and did we mention photos?

Oh wow that sounds like its going to be fun! Brad is a great guy and he teaches very well.

Thank you, Mike, and Active Rain, for hosting this great opportunity to learn more and interact with our colleagues. I'd like to attend, meet you, Brad and all of our friends, and shake your hand. Hope you have a great weekend.

That is awesome that you put this all together for your area. I want to come too! Maybe you can talk Brad into coming to VA Beach! :)

Hi Mike - what a great idea, and what a great day this sounds like! It's a little far for me to travel, but if I were a little closer, I'd be there, too.

Enjoy to all who are able to attend!
Ann

Thank-you all for your comments. As I said seating is limited so first come first serve!

Brad, I will see about putting up that map showing where Holiday Inn Express is located.

Mike- Fantastic! What a great thing! I suspect you will be starting a long line of training requests in TN!

I am only a couple hours (give or take) away in Nashville, but not sure I can make that day. I will look into it, and if not maybe we can get Brad to come back to TN?! We have a pile of Active Rainers in my area alone!

Congrats on putting it all together, no small feat I am sure! Hats off to AR for being so willing to share and teach!

:.)

Hi, Mike,

I've made my reservation at the Holiday Inn in beautiful downtown Dyersburg! So excited to get to see our TN Rainer friends. I'm sending you a check today for the conference fee to reserve my spot. Great job putting this together. Thank you!!

BTW, let us know if we can do anything to help you with this event. Bringing my camera, of course!

Congrats to you guys for getting Brad to come out. This sounds like a lot of fun and a great learning experience. I think a great spot for his next session would be in Tempe, AZ! Hey Brad, I'm sure they have a private plane for you by now; can you swing by and pick me up?

As someone who has been fortunate enough to attend several of Brad's classes, let me tell you in advance you are in for a treat. He is quite engaging, knows his stuff backwards and forwards, and has a great sense of humor.

We are lucky to have him live in the Bay Area, although I would guess the raingods tried to have him move to Seattle. Thankfully they did not succeed.

Congrats on getting this arranged Mike. I wish I could attend that seminar, it sounds like it is going to be great.

I'm jealous!!! I would love to see them here in south florida!!!

Thank-you all for your comments. Jan, why don't you bring your flip video also. Brad is going to go over the use of that as well. I will have mine there and plan to video portions of this!

I just went out to the Holiday Inn Express to talk to Lou Adams and she persuaded me to sit down and eat breakfast. I had a biscuit, bacon,sausage and an omlet. I plan to have the lunch catered in right there in that breakfast room.

It sounds like another fun filled event. I wish I could attend. These things always look like too much fun.

Hello Mike,

Well, I am definitely coming, and you know two of my friends from Brownsville,TN are coming too. Wouldn't miss it for the world! I am driving in from Owensboro,KY and don't care that it will take 3.5 to 4 hours. Just by reading Brad's posts, I know he is a genuinely great guy. Thanks Mike for the great idea and for hosting the class for us. You are the best! I'll be seeing you.....

Vickie,

I am so excited to meet and learn from Brad and almost equally excited meeting other activerainers who I have been "reading".

Right now it looks like we have about 15 coming, I am going to cut off at 20.

Mike,

Mailing my deposit check to your office right now!! About that flip video ... I don't have one yet!! Yikes! I will just have to watch you guys with your flips and I'll take the back up digital photos just in case. :)

Sounds good Jan!

Mike: You are a caring broker who understands the "new" marketplace starts first on the internet. Active Rain and Localism is a "secret" that many realtors know nothing about, and this class will be the first of many to help our industry.

Mike Frazier, Congratulations on the features post.

You deserve it, brother.

APR

2008

JUST FYI - If you have a Flip Video Camera, please feel free to bring it and we can cover some of the Flip Video Secrets in our schedule for the day! I am really looking forward to meeting you all in a couple weeks. I hope to have a few tricks up my sleeve as well. You can Look forward to an exciting, educational and fun-filled day! :-)

When does the tour hit the Los Angeles area? I'd be interested in atttending for the novelty of the event. Get to put some names with faces and pick a few brains.

Nicholas,

You were one of the first that I added as an associate. I really appreciate your professionalism and what you stand for!

Brad, I will have my running shoes on!

Mike,

Think we might need a notary? Maybe you should invite them to come to your event? The are very mobile. :)

Jan,

How many of your girlfriends from middle Tennessee are coming to the training?

Mike, Brad is such a cool guy and I am sure the event will be a great success for all that attend.

Mike,

Vanessa Stalets is checking with Melissa Grant to see if she can come, and Vanessa is trying to decide if she can make it as she said in her comment above. Maybe check with Vanessa. Jan Wood and I have talked about rooming together and I've made our reservation at the H.I.Express. Please put her on your list and I will let you know if she is not coming. I'm waiting to hear from her today ... I will email her again. Thanks!

Jan and everyone else coming,

I am talking to a couple of different catering companies about lunch at the training session. Any preferences as to what to order?

Mike,

I'm good with whatever you do. No preferences for me. I just got an email from Jan Wood, who unfortunately cannot attend this event. She has family stuff going on that week. I'm sure she would love to be there if at all possible.

APR

2008

Thanks Jan,

I do have some other people coming from middle Tennessee!

Mike, well you asked what we would like to have for lunch, well, my favorite food is SUSHI (but only the sushi rolls that are cooked) but I am sure I will be ruled out! I have actually eaten sushi in dyersburg at a buffet there! I will eat almost anything, it doesn't really matter to me. I do need Coffee for sure, and water too. and SUSHI!!!

APR

2008

I just had one Realtor from Dyersburg cancel as he is out in New Mexico for another 2 weeks. I believe I have about 3 or 4 seats left for the training.

Also, for all of you coming, what would you prefer that I order for lunch. It will be catered!

Brad, what do California people eat????????

Vickie, I hate sushi but will have the coffee for you.

What about chicken parmesan. I liked that the last time I ate it!

I expect the hotel to not have any vacancies if reserved after this Friday. (it is still new and the preference of business people coming into the area)

APR

2008

We don't! haha! We Drink! LOL!~ I am fine with whatever you want to feed us Mike, I have been exposed to all types of food over the years and pretty much will eat whatever everyone else chooses. Whatever works best and is easiest for you... See you in one week! :-)

Brad,

Glad you didn't agree with Vickie because I do not want Sushi!

I am going to order the chicken parmesan but will also have the coffee for Vickie!

MAY

2008

Attention everyone going to class: If you don't speak up- Sushi it is!!

OH! Come on Mike, how many people have even responded about what kind of food they want.... It needs to be sushi!

I am just kidding, it wouldn't be good if it wasn't real fresh anyway. So what is it going to be?? S-u-s-h-i

I told Jackie(my trainer) to let the caterer know that we would like chicken Parmesan or some variety close to that.

On Monday, I am going to give the caterer the final number for lunch on Wednesday. I have had several call or e-mail that have not committed yet. Let's say that the deadline for sign-up for class(includes lunch) is Monday morning 9am(central).

Gretchen,

I received your e-mail confirming your reservation at the training session.

This sounds like loads of fun... I'm sure you'll have a great time.

Chuck,

I plan to let everyone here know how it goes!

I'm Packing up today to head on over Mike. I got your email, and we should be good to go. I'll bring the "Show and Tell" and all the "Greatest Stories" with me. LOL!~ Looking forward to a FANTASTIC time in Tennessee. It's a good thing I'm not driving this time, did you see this map? haha!!

....and now a couple words to prepare for our day....

Advance in the direction of your dreams, and endeavor to live the life you have imagined. The future is not just some place you are going to, but is a place you are creating. The paths to it are not found, they are made. Follow your passion as long as you live, and on this, you will reach success.

Hi, Mike,

So looking forward to your event tomorrow. I meant Wednesday! :)

I love Brad's inspirational quote and the map (LOL!).

Jan,

I assume you are driving up? Brad's flight leaves this morning around 7am(California time).

Memphis Realtors,

I just talked to Brad Andersohn and he is wandering around Beal Street looking for some fancy restaurant. I called David Saks and he is going to try to steer Brad in the right direction. If you see Brad down on Beal street, remind him that class starts at 9am sharp tomorrow(in Dyersburg)

Jan - one of my ActiveRain spies at the front desk told me you checked in and were looking to see if I had checked in yet. I got lost on Beale Street in Memphis! haha! Just kidding, I need to get caught up here with a few projects from the "Big Boss" but I am so looking forward to seeing you in the morning. It's going to be a great day! G'night.. :-)

Mike - I am here, in my room, and preparing for tomorrow's "BIG DAY!" I will be there on time, I promise. David and I will be heading to Memphis after the class to go see if Elvis has really left the building or not. LOL!~ I am very excited about our day, and the fact that David would take the time to show me "The King's" home! Since I was a young child, I have always wanted to go see where Elvis made music and history, the Graceland Mansion. He inspired me to so much as a child...Thank you again, I'll see you bright and early at 9:00am. :-)

It is now 9:10 Wednesday morning and we are right in the middle of the training class. Brad was here early:)

I have flip video'ed a short segment of the beginning of the class and plan to shoot short segments throughout the training. Brad told me he would have to put a disclaimer on it before I post them here!

Mike, this sure is fun being in this class with Brad. I wish there was more time, so I could learn more.

Mike,

Thanks for putting this together! What a great time we had today!! And, thanks Brad, for sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm with everyone. I enjoyed meeting every one of you guys who came to the event. Please keep in touch, and I'm looking forward to getting to know you all better in THE RAIN!

The training was excellent. It was wonderful to get to meet all the people for all over the area. I really enjoyed the session and the food was excellent.

Jan and all the others at the training,

I appreciate all of you taking precious time out of your busy schedules to come to Dyersburg! I know you all got as much from this training as I did. Thank-you Brad and Activerain for the great information!

The class was great!

Honored to attend the event, Mike. It's a great privilege to share this experience with Brad, all of our very fine colleagues, in addition to yourself, in attendance today. Dyersburg is a beautiful town and I'm proud to have had this opportunity to spend the day there. Hat's off to you Mike, Brad, our co-workers and Active Rain !

Great information - just need more time to absorb. Enjoy all those involved. Would love to do more training.

Mike, thank you for organizing and hosting this training. Thank you Brad Andersohn for enriching us with more knowledge about the Rain. The information was priceless, the lunch was delicious, even if it wasn't sushi ;)

I enjoyed meeting everyone and wish I could have stayed longer. Really enjoyed it, thanks again!

Ya'll have a safe trip back home :)

Wanted to thank you, Mike, for a great day, and this rare opportunity to get together with our friends, colleagues and Brad. Many thanks to our hostess that provided the great lunch, also. Brad and I finally made it to Elvis' house but didn't have time for the fried peanut butter and banana sandwich because of his flight schedule, but next time for sure. If I may ever be of assistance to you in Memphis please let me know. It was an honor to participate with the others in this fine event. Hopes for a great week ahead for you and your fine staff.

Mike - I made it home safe, but was saddened to have to leave so quickly. I know we tried to cover too much information in that one session, so I am committed to putting together a series of webinars to cover more details on each topic we tried to address, and those we didn't.

Thanks to you and Donna for making all the arrangements to get me there. I wish we could have spent more time together just socializing and getting to know one another. Everyone there was so nice, generous, and hospitable. I loved Tennessee, but more than that, I really loved the AR folks that showed up in Dyersburg yesterday. I hope to do it again someday soon. Until then, once I get the Webinar schedule setup, you and the others there will be the first to know.

Can you send me an email with all the attendees? I had a sign-in sheet but got so excited about meeting everyone for the first time, I forgot to have it filled out. Thanks again for everything, and for putting this all together.

To the rest of you, thanks for taking the time out of your busy days to travel, and spend the day with us. There were many levels of experience in that conference room, and so much information shared, yet so much we didn't get to cover due to the time constraints. If there is anything you need help with or want to know more about, Please call, email, or contact me anytime, I am here to help you any way I can.

I am so thankful that I was the "Chosen One" to come be a part of a very special day in Dyersburg Tennessee. You are family, so let's stay in touch, and keep the "Rain Drops" falling and multiplying.

May you all be blessed beyond your wildest imagination!! :-))

Brad~

Brad,

We were all blessed beyond expection yesterday!
