Is it worth attending the ASR Annual Symposium?
Well let's see:
- you get away from your usual chaotic real estate agent
life for approx. 2 - 3 days,
- you get to hear some great speakers (Warren McDonald
this year spoke about how he lost both of his legs due to a mountain climbing
accident and yet swam the 'pier to pub' swim in Australia and beat out a bunch
of others in his age category and scared the heck out of kids watching the end
of the race as they thought a shark had bitten off his legs),
- plus you get to meet and network with agents from other
places in Saskatchewan (good for referral business),
-plus you can hear local and not so local speakers talk
about using social media, paperless office using the ipad for everything, etc.
- plus you can attend a nice dinner and evening of
entertainment,
- plus you get up to date on insurance claims, ISC
changes, government updates as they pertain to real estate, etc.
- AND you get to bid on silent auction items (I love this
part),
- AND you can enter draws and possibly win some great
prizes (iPhone, tv, etc.). I believe
Victor Martens won an ipad last year and I just received a phone call saying
that I am the winner of either an ipad or
$500 donation to Telemiracle on my behalf.
So tell me why you WOULDN'T attend this great annual
event?
