"Thank you..thank you very much for inviting
me to your senior seminar.."
Moving away from the news and into more "fun" territory: I would like to encourage the same kind of animated participation in this blog as I got with http://screwedbylarry.blogspot.com.
After all, I started FAN at the behest of one of my SBL readers who suggested having a place where advisors could recommend new marketing products, client retention strategies, seminar systems, lead generation services, and other information relative to growing a thriving practice.
A hot topic these days :"Are Seminars Still A Viable Marketing Strategy?" I would love to hear your most entertaining stories of seminar disasters, near-disasters, hilarious question and answer sessions, etc.
Who was the weirdest "prospect" who ever came to a seminar? Ever have pesky equipment problems? Crossed signals at the restaurant? Serve beef brisket to a group of vegetarians? Best joke you ever told (clean, please- LOL!)
Before we get into the meat of what works and doesn't work in marketing financial services these days, let's have a bit of comic relief.
I will of course, keep it anonymous.
1st Prize for the best story is : $20 gift certificate to Starbucks and a book from my personal marketing library (my choice- but it will be a good one, I promise.)
2nd Prize: Copy of "Thriving Office" (www.thrivingoffice.com) CD- to make your office sound like a big shot's office should..
