Hi All,

Anyone going to Fortune Builder's 3-day seminar in Indianapolis? Would like to connect with other investors in my area.

Thanks,

Terri

Welcome @Terri Snider !

I've been to the last two FB events [I was asked to leave the 2nd one..for "networking" - They knew I wasn't going to buy their programs].

I think it's well worth the $200 for anyone that's just getting started. I picked up a few nuggets of information and a TON of leads. I met 2 private lenders and sold several wholesale deals from the event.

WARNING - The instructors are professional seminar sales experts and they make it very tough to say no to their over priced programs! I was expecting it to be a sales fest and chuckled to myself as I seen the instructor bring the crowds emotions up and down over and over, following the sales techniques to exactly [I've been in sales 20+ years and I still wanted to whip out my credit card].

Unfortunately, one of my fellow broker attendees fell pray to their methods. His "system" is still setting on his bookshelf over a year later...He could have bought a house for what he paid!

With that said, I still encourage people to attend. Don't be shy and network, network and then network some more. Once the instructor finds out you are a Realtor, he will call on you and this helps get people to come up to you during the breaks. Since I was/am a REO specialists, I was his go to guy all weekend and it was great.

Good luck and remember to say NO when they ask for the sale!

Note: a easy way to get the follow up calls to stop is to ask the person calling you from the call center how long they have been working the FB program. Of course the asnwer is never or I don't have it. I asked them why and grilled them over it. Needless to say, they never called back.
