How to avoid deer-in-headlight syndrome

[Charpress]

Here's a thought. Put in a ringer at each table to say things like-

"Wow. That makes sense. I want the first appointment that guy has. What a genius."

Or is that too much?

Where is the meeting? Some of us might come if there is free food.

Even with the MA seminars ending, our treasured seniors here in the Sunshine State (a/k/a Death's Waiting Room) can enjoy three squares a day just by going to seminars during the winter season.

Rabbi, are you fasting today?

(oops, forgot you've got me on 'ignore')

Maybe now he'll see it

You might want to set out appointment reminder cards they can pre-address with the appointment time they would like. Just do a 4 up on 65 lb card stock and have a place like a FedExKinkos cut them.

Thanks Ramiz, much obliged.

Oh, I have the mechanics of doing seminars down to a science and they (in the past) have done extremely well. I can get them in and I can get a 90% or better appointment ratio.

I just have never done a seminar before with such an economic disaster staring me in the face. The question remains: "What can be done to get people to move their money when they're bleeding like this?"

I know there is no easy answer. Maybe there is no answer at all.

Over the top?

Just a tad . . .

Well, the ringer would definitely have to be a solid, serious type. Not Richard Simmons. Not that guy who yells from the TV about being able to turn off your lights with a sticky light switch. I think he would be spotted, even by trusting seniors.

Maybe Joe Biden...

 

[somarco]

Biden would fit right in . . . especially with those on Aricept . . .

You should buy some gold bullion and sell it...
