The 1st Activerain trainer/training session!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Carousel Realty of Dyer County Tn 248435000

Just a few days ago I wrote a post titled, "Should Activerain Hire a Trainer?" Well the response was incredible to say the least. I am not sure what Bob Stewart and Activerain have decided but I am making plans!

Normally, my office has a weekly sales/training meeting each and every week. I introduced my trainer, Jackie Keeling to Activerain blogging about 2 weeks ago and he is now just as excited as I am!

Hopefully, Bob Stewart and I can firm up a training session and date sponsored by Activerain with the fees picked up by my company, my agents, my trainer and any outsiders who chose to come. I am excited about the possibility of getting a Brad Andersohn in to train all of us "green" Activerainers!

This morning I got an e-mail from Vickie McCartney in Kentucky saying she wants to come. I quoted her a fee of $100 and she said that was a bargain to sit at the feet of Brad Andersohn. My conference room will only hold about 8 people and there are 5 of us (pictured in revolving cube over on the right side) committed to be at this training.

If there is any interest from others to come to Dyersburg(northwest Tennessee) please let me know. The fee will be $100. If I get overwhelming responses, I will rent a larger place. We are shooting for 3-4 weeks out.

Looking forward to seeing how this goes in your office... maybe we can do this all over the country!  I would volunteer beautiful Panama City Beach, FL... I'll find us a place.  Someone figure out how to meet the cost!

Mike, I am so proud of you for being another "first" and I am happy to be one of the "first" ones to take the class!  I will have to travel about 4+ hours each way, but it will be worth it!  I bet you will have to turn people away.  I have so much to learn, and Brad is the one to learn it from.  Thanks for all of your hard work.

Hi Mike,

I read and commented on your earlier post! Again, what a great idea. Wish I lived closer.

$100 attendance fee is cheap at twice the price to be able to hear Brad Andersohn in person. His Posts are awesome!

Good luck and keep us posted.

Hal

Hal,

I had to start somewhere on the price so picked $100. I will not make any money on this deal as my trainer and I will have to pick up biggest part of the tab.

Brad, I cannot wait for your good news!

I now have 4 outside my office who have agreed to come for this training. I am going to rent the Holiday Inn express conference room since it will hold up to 15 people. With my people, we are up to 9 people with room for 6 more. If anyone is interested in coming please let me know asap.
