We are getting closer to our fifth annual GBAR Roadshow Conference & Expo, on Thursday, October 19 at the Four Points by Sheraton in Norwood. This year’s event features three informative sessions on a variety of topics geared towards guiding you on the path to success. We also are welcoming Jean Chatzky as our keynote speaker this year who will share her vast financial experience with us and leave us all with successful strategies to manage our health and finances.
The morning starts with an informative session by Hoss Pratt, a nationally-known authority and speaker on how real estate brokers and agents can supercharge their businesses, will focus his talk on time management and how to manage it before it manages you. His presentation will teach you strategies on how to better utilize your time and skills to convert prospects into clients and your fence sitters into sellers.
As you know, the inventory shortage in our market is a major obstacle. Our next presenter, Maura Neill, is a fellow REALTOR® as well as a national speaker and instructor who is going to share strategies for how to run a real estate business in a low inventory market. From handling multiple offer situations to addressing the psychology of an unrealistic seller, Maura’s session will have can’t-miss information that is extremely pertinent to our marketplace.
The final session speaker is Jimmy Mackin, the co-founder of the Boston-based digital marketing company Curyator. Jimmy and his team specialize in Facebook marketing and advertising and during the Roadshow, Jimmy will share how to master Facebook lead generation and conversion. As today’s digital landscape continues to grow, creating and fostering an online presence is vital and this presentation will show you how you can use targeted ads and content on Facebook to your current, prospective and future clients and how to reap the benefits.
I’m particularly excited for our keynote speaker, Jean Chatzky. Many of you may know her from her work as the financial editor on NBC’s TODAY show, but she is also an award-winning personal finance journalist, the personal finance ambassador for AARP and hosts the podcast “Her Money with Jean Chatzky”. Jean is going to share with us tips and tools for financial wellness and strategies on how to balance health with finances, as well as some best practices for how to prepare for retirement. With appearances on Oprah and in Money Magazine, Jean is now bringing her financial knowledge to the Roadshow—you don’t want to miss this!
The Roadshow also features an expo hall full of affiliates and exhibitors which provide great networking opportunities and more chances for you to expand your business and make new introductions.
