“ I like to attend. However, I would bring people to share their experiences and give insites on how they do it. It does not need to be a long presentations. It is best to give people hints about how to develop their real estate busines than to try to sell them something. The only thing worth to listten during Als presentation today were the first 5 minutes. After that I notice people loosing interest and in fact leaving early. Have the presenters minimize their sale pitch to 30 seconds or eliminate it at all. Give me examples, make other experts in the room participate. Have them bring up their fustration and successes. ”
— jexer Martinez on Feb 24, 2008.
“ The meeting are great. One thing that I think would help is.. to have printouts of all the slides before the presenter actually has his/her presentation. This way he/she won't have to leave slides up for people to copy down the information and also it makes it much easier to follow along without having to stop to write notes. ”
