Activerain Meetup Denver had Lots of New Faces

Activerain Meetup Denver had Lots of New Faces - It is always great to get together with fellow Activerain members and this past thursday was no exception even if there was a noticeable absence of some of the usual suspects..... apparently there is a big footbll game this weekend and some of the local rainers have already headed off to Santa Clara I understand there were some other Activerain royalty in Denver earlier in the week and those that met with them decided two trips to Denver in a week might be a little much.Denver Meetup

Nevertheless, we had a great time. It was good to catch up with the regulars, Joan Cox and Will Hamm and share their knowledge and success stories with newer Activerain members such as Christine Yedo Johnson  and Deb Kirschbaum  , a couple very experienced Denver agents as well as two new agents and new Activerain members Dawn Horras and Sarah Tucker and as always lurking in the shadows was Thrive Real Estate Systems 

There were tales of successful referrals from other AR members from around the country and conversations aboiut what type of blog posts make the most sense when starting out, how to generate business quickly with your posts (localism and niche markets) and who to and how to really connect with in the AR community to create long lasting relationships .

I love these meetups and only wish I could travel the country and join in every other meetup, I wonder if there is a business model there... Bob Stewart & Ben Kinney does Activerain have a need for a traveling ambassador, I am up for the chal;lenge.

It was a very good time and we all shared so much with each other.  Those veteran bloggers are amazing.  I was so very glad that I could make it.  Thanks for organizing John--I could totally see you as an AR "groupy"!  Actually, you already are!

Dawn Horras Ha, I guess you could call me a groupy, and this groupy needs to get more active.

I'm saving up my money.  When I grow up and get my drivers license, I can go around and visit all these wonderful people who have these meetups.

ActiveRain meet-ups are always a great time and this sounds like no exception. I met Joan, among others, at an AR Meetup in San Franscisco back in 2013 and it was great fun
