Follow up question here and IDGAF if I'm hijacking the thread :) But what is the best way of getting qualified cheeks in the seat? I have 50 clients. They're an ok source for referrals but not a great one. What have you guys discovered as the best way to get folks to come to these informational seminars?

Best way to get people in seats: hold seminar at nice restaurant and advertise the free dinner on mailer
Best way to get people in for meeting: actually say something useful but more than anything be entertaining and engage crowd

Im 29 and have been doing seminars for over two years now and I can’t tell you how many people have come up to me after and say we’ve been to 4 or 5 of these of other advisors and you were so much more engaging and entertaining than anyone else we’ve seen. It definitely helps to have some fun with them and also try to speak in layman’s terms as much as possible.

Polish up and don't use IDGAF acronyms and more people may take what you have to say with more value

NY Life, yes they will often help you. If you have a relationship with a company that you'd like to see flourish, I'd call and tell them what you're thinking about hosting, and then ask if they would be willing to help you by presenting. Some have their own prospecting lists they are happy to share.

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement? On his website it looks like each module has a 4-day virtual class which I wouldn't be able to attend due to working full time. Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?
