Quote from @Ben Howard:
Hello Scott. Thank you for the post, it's a topic which I have been considering lately as well. Most BP members in our region are familiar with the West Sacramento meetup, and there was one in Folsom meeting at Out of Bounds occasionally, but I haven't seen posts for that one lately. It would be nice to start a group which meets with regular cadence so that attendees could plan to include it in their schedules. For example, the third Tuesday evening each month at a casual, static location which could be indoors or outdoors and flex based on attendance. Specifically, something where we as agents could network with each other, vendors who support our business, and also investors in the BP community. I would venture a guess that many investors believe that agents who cover the same territory are competitors, however as I'm sure you are aware that there is more success in collaboration as agents than competition. I would like for those who attend to bring value to the meetings. What is working right now for those who attend, what resources may we share, and how can we attract others who will contribute. Not just a larger group of attendees, but a group that is beneficial for all who do attend as a result of the strength which each person brings and shares. If my response is in line with your business and goals, please let's discuss this further. BP has been great for my business since I joined several years ago and I would love to pay back some of that success with the local BP community.
If you plan on scheduling one, please let me know. Sacramento is a growing market and there's a lot of need for more meet-ups and opportunities to collaborate and learn from one another.
