Tom Krol as a wholesaling coach
With all the negativity out there about coaches and programs I wanted to take a second to say something about Tom.
I totally love this guy!!! Tom totally changed my wholesaling operation in 4 months.
He broke it down to simple-to-follow steps, didn’t leave me hanging or let me get away with anything. I liked how he says “over-education is a cancer” because I was learning as much as I could before taking action.
Whether you're somewhat experienced or just learning the ropes, Tom is the real deal, getting large assignments almost every week now. I had to say something, since by far I have gotten the most the fastest from Tom’s group coaching.
Thanks Tom

Okay, testimonial by a 20 post member, not doubting a word of it, but guys, really.....
BP is a social networking site, under the radar marketing is caught and most often brought up on the screen. Credibility is earned here by contributions to the forums or blogs giving specific advice or sharing knowledge, that is what will influence others.
We have had tons of gurus, coaches, mentor programs pop up on BP with testimonials from brand new members advancing services offered. I (and we, I'm sure) can be very skeptical of third party influences being used to market someone, it happens a lot. Some of the tactics used on other sites may work there, but not so much here.
To get passed that, demonstrate knowledge through your comments. Posting romantics, fascinating stories, touting success and puffing won't really cut the credibility gap.
I'd encourage you to teach and give solid advice. advocating good real estate practices. Develop your presence here and you can have access to a lot of business after you are established.
Not speaking for others, but you are certainly welcomed to the BP community!
Actually, I'm trying to help you, not being critical. I can tell you too, that "wholesaling" can get kind of touchy here in the compliance areas and marketing, not against wholesaling a deal at all, it can be a tough area to deal in. Good luck! :)
