I get bombarded by emails every day, and you probably do too, with all the reasons I should go with a particular company, FMO, mailing house, etc.
Besides the usual "You too can be a $30 million producer like our founder" there was one that caught my interest enough to give up my email address to download the promotion.
It was some suggested workbooks to hand out in seminars. That could be good -I always do a workbook so people have something to take home to remember me and what we talked about. I do the workbook so that people have to fill in some answers to questions that come up in the seminar and it is done in a fun way, anyway...
The workbook sample I was sent had a page each of a word jumble, anagram, and crossword puzzle. The "answers" were words or phrases like "fixed annuity" and so on. Oh wow. What is this, third grade? So you go through a seminar and help people figure out that anitynu is actually is annuity? I can't imagine a better way to insult an audience.
I've seen lame before, but this has convinced me that I don't need to waste time with whatever is made to sound good, but is a big time waster. I have to say that 95% of the "free seminars" out there are lame fluff as well.
Anyone come across any email downloads or promotions that are worthwhile?
