On September 25 and 26, 2009, the bankruptcy seminar was held in Denver, Colorado and it was the most dynamic 713Training.Com has ever offered. The main reason for this was because this seminar was the first time that Attorney Matthew Williamson and I joined forces. I taught the Chapter 13 seminar on Friday and Matthew taught marketing on Saturday. The response from the attendees was better than we could have expected and we thank those who attended.
DAY 1 – CHAPTER 13 BANKRUPTCY SEMINAR
The group that attended this seminar came from very impressive backgrounds. For example; Rita Browner of Kings Georgia, Virginia had been preparing bankruptcy petitions for attorneys before the law change in 2005. She was such a joy to have in the class because she and I could talk about the old days of how we used to do things. This helped the others to appreciate how much easier it is today with the improvements in technology.
One thing that shocked me was that Rita still knew how to calculate a Chapter 13 plan by hand. I just received a phone call from an attorney the other day who asked me about the different mathematical formulas for calculating Chapter 13 Plans. I could not answer her because it has been at least 12 years or more since I did a Chapter 13 Plan without the aid of a computer. But Rita Browner knew all about the old method and was still using it. You should have seen the expression on her face when I showed her how easy it was to calculate a Chapter 13 Plan with the software Chapter 13 calculator. Rita said that attending the seminar had changed her entire life.
Tammi Miller from Nashville, Tennessee also attended. She visited Colorado back in May 2009 when she trained with me on Chapter 7s. Therefore, she was already familiar with them before she attended the seminar. Tammi is still currently employed full time but will be opening her new virtual bankruptcy assistant (VBA) business very soon. Tammi is playing it smart; she is going to work her VBA business simultaneously with her full time job in order to keep the bills paid. Then, when Tammi is sure that she has enough business coming in, she will leave her secure employment and go into business for herself. I am very proud of Tammi. She is going to be an excellent VBA and our industry is blessed that she decided to make this field her chosen career.
Victoria Brink-Guillot and Deb Shaffer both flew in from Pennsylvania. Before the seminar, both had no idea that each one existed. However, during the seminar Victoria and Deb discussed various business ideas and finally came to a very clear direction that both are going to follow when they return home.
Do you have any idea what this really means? Many people spend years obtaining a clear direction for this business. But Victoria and Deb not only discovered a clear direction; they also found each other and plan to work together targeting the attorney market in New York City. There is no doubt they will have more work from attorneys than they can possibly handle.
How did Victoria and Deb derive at this conclusion? They learned from Matthew Williamson (an attorney marketing genius) how to first identify the problem. Both Victoria and Deb had tried marketing to attorneys in their rural Pennsylvania communities but neither had any success. But Matthew helped them to open their eyes and question as to why they were limiting themselves to rural Pennsylvania? They both lived less than 2 hours from New York City. Since there are literally thousands of attorneys in New York City; the obvious answer is to market to New York City attorneys.
DAY 2 – LEGAL MARKETING SEMINAR
I have attended at least 200 marketing seminars throughout my career and nothing compares to the marketing seminar that Attorney Matthew Williamson presented. The attendees at this seminar were dominated by attorneys and each one learned so much that their brains went into overload. Why? Because Matthew Williamson is a dynamic presenter who teaches from personal experience. Matthew has literally lost tens of thousands of dollars on bad marketing mistakes. He knows what it is like to build a company from the ground up and he knows every marketing loophole all the way to the top.
John Cimino (an attorney who attended the marketing seminar) told me that his head could not absorb any more information. I will have to agree with him. Matthew Williamson is so knowledgeable about marketing that his mind is thinking at 1,000 miles per hour. In fact, he provided so much information, and packed so much into the 6 hours, that it was a mental exercise just to keep up with him. I cannot recommend Matthew highly enough and I urge you to contact him if you want to build your law practice or virtual bankruptcy assistant business. His website and contact information are at:
