A lot has been said and written about these topics by many speakers and writers that is applicable to sales in almost any arena whatever the product or service is.Since your focus is wholesaling, if you have never heard of Sean Terry, look him up here: http://www.flip2freedom.com/ and listen to his podcasts.

Our local REIA (Metro East Real Estate Investors Association - located in Collinsville, IL) just had a local property manager as a guest speaker.

I spent a good part of my childhood here in Niceville and am looking forward to starting my REI career in a place where "it all began" for me.I don't know if you're already plugged in, but there is a an investors group called the P.I.G. that has a few chapters in the area; they also host the occasional speaker.

Currently, I coordinate sub groups in Philadelphia for DIG and it has been rewarding in so many ways from the Speaker to the attendees.Let me know if you have any questions.Regards,Joe Scorese

If an investor is churning out deals then having an investor that asks tons of questions can be a hinderance to projects.When I used to have a car audio business decades back there was a saying ( Install 4 speakers and a radio for 199).

We have a speaker every month that has been in the REI game and share's their tips, tricks, and strategies.

@Marcus Cannady It was this one, he was the first speaker.

We do in our town and have monthly meetings with speaker presentations.

Heard a podcast recently where the speaker said 80% of members here on BP acquired at least 1 investment unit in the last 12 months.
