Discover the "Inside Secrets" to pack your events with people and make a boatload of money!

How Will This Event Be Different?

I go to a lot of seminars myself. I have a serious gripe with most of the seminars/bootcamps that I attend. Most of them SUCK. They have the following fatal flaw. Either the speakers that are extremely dynamic and are great speakers or they've got great content and can't speak worth a damn.

At this event, I'll give you both.

Myself and any of the other speakers will give you a logical, step by step plan to help you catapult your business into the stratosphere. I'll leave you with a specific course of action to take. Nothing will be left to chance!

Another pet peeve of mine is how loosely most seminars are run in terms of their time frames. I run these events like a drill sergeant. Why? Because you the participants suffer if I don't stay on time. I will start and end every session ON TIME. That way there will be no confusion or uncertainty.

You will also hear the "straight story" with no holds barred. Frequently at these events people try to be politically correct or sugar coat the truth. That will NOT happen at this event. Myself (and any of the mystery speakers) will give you the straight story no matter who we offend. We won't worry about what boat we're rocking or whose feelings we hurt.

Why?

Because you need to know the TRUTH. The unvarnished truth about how the money is made in the seminar business.

Who Should Attend This Event?

Anyone who wants to start promoting their own public seminars, bootcamps, teleseminars and other "open to the public" events.

This would include authors, publishers, speakers, trainers, consultants or any business owner who has a product or service that might lend itself to being promoted at a public event.

You should also attend this event if you're in any profession where you can give seminars to promote yourself or your services.

I'm so psyched about this event I'd love to have you promote it to your friends and colleagues. Click Here to get yourself set up as an affiliate.

Who Should NOT Attend This Event?

Please do not attend this event if you aren't open to new ideas or think you know it all. I frankly don't want to have anyone at any event that has this attitude.

Much of the information at this event will be so dramatically different than what you've heard in the past that you'll have to keep an open mind. Trust me, you'll be amazed.

Your Host For This Event:

Fred Gleeck

Fred is the author of 11 books on marketing related topics.

My name is Fred Gleeck and I will be your host for this event. Like I said before, I've been doing seminars for quite a while. As I also mentioned, I've NEVER lost money on a public event that I've promoted.

For a few years I did CareerTrack seminars. At one point they were the countries biggest seminar company. During my time there I was #1 in both sales and customer ratings in every topic that I did.

My best selling book: "Marketing and Promoting Your Own Seminars and Workshop" has become the "Bible" of the industry.

When you come to this event you'll be hearing the straight scoop from people who are actually practicing what they preach. Won't that be a welcome change?

If This Sounds Like a Lot of Information, You're Right!

It is. I can't stand going to events that are filled with fluff. This seminar will be packed with meat! I don't care what you have going on, you've got to make it to this event. If you have to, change your schedule!

Give the kids to the in-laws, put the dogs in a kennel and prepare yourself for Mr. Toad's Wild Ride into the world of seminar marketing and promotion.

About the Schedule Outline

I run my events on a very strict time schedule. Here's what I can tell you for certain. We'll start and end every day and every session ON TIME. If the schedule says we start at 8:30, then we start at that exact time. Not a minute later or earlier. I know you'll appreciate this because most events are NOT run this way.

Here's What I CAN'T Promise

I can NOT promise you that any one subject will be covered on a specific day or time. Depending on how things are "flowing" items may be switched around to make the most sense.

Get Yourself on the "Hotseat" - But You Must Act NOW!

The first 3 people who sign up for this event are guaranteed a spot on the hot seat. Don't worry, you won't get burned! If you are one them, you'll get a chance to get up in front of the group and present your challenges and problems. Then, the speakers and other participants will have a chance to give you their best feedback and advice to help them.

At past events the hot seats have proven to be one of the most helpful elements of the event. It's a chance to have a lot of different people with great insights give you suggestions to help you catapult your business into the stratosphere.

Plenty of Time for YOUR Questions

For the last 30-45 minutes of each day I'll open the floor to questions from YOU, the participants. If there is anything that isn't crystal clear this will be YOUR opportunity to get it straightened out.

You'll have plenty of time. I won't leave until all of your questions have been answered. You have my word on that.

Many events give you a lot of information but bring up more questions than they answer. At this bootcamp, you'll be given a ton of information but you won't leave with any question unanswered.

Everyone Leaves with a Personalized Plan

Immediately after I have you fill out your evaluations on the final day, we'll do a crucial exercises. You will create an action plan to follow when you leave. That way you'll leave with no uncertainty as to how to get going.

How many seminars or events have you been to that give you a whole lot of information but no plan to implement the concepts? If you're like me, quite a few!

You'll leave knowing exactly what to do and in what order. I'll give you a plan of action that will make your success as a seminar promoter almost certain.

2 Big Bonus Events - PLEASE Don't Miss Them!

Although the event officially starts on Saturday morning, please arrange your schedule to arrive before 4PM on Friday. We'll have an informal (no suits please!) "meet the speakers and attendees" gathering from 6-9PM. Meet for this event at exactly 6PM.

We've done this in the past and it's worked out incredibly well. You'll get to know some of the speakers and other attendees in an informal environment which will make it easier for us to hit the ground running on Saturday.

PLEASE make every effort to be there on Friday. People always tell me that this makes the learning process that much easier.

If you can, book your return flight for Monday morning. I always like to have a party (at my house) for all of the people who attend my events.

So, when you're making your plane reservations, come in on Friday and leave on Monday if at all possible.

Questions Before You Register?

Feel free to call me on my direct line if you have any questions. The number is 702-423-9945. Don't be shocked, I do answer my own phones many times.

Also, don't be shocked if I attempt to MAKE you come to this event. The experiences that I've had myself would make it unethical for me not to try and get you to attend!

Can't Make it to the Event?

This event will be so valuable to you that I suggest you change your plans. But in the event that you or one of your kids is getting married or you're getting your gall bladder removed that weekend, there is another choice.

If it is absolutely impossible for you to attend, you can order a live audio recording of this seminar. You'll still get all of the bonuses. The MP3 CD will be sent to you as soon as we possibly can. They'll need to be edited and duplicated so you can figure on about 2-3 weeks after the event. The price for the audio MP3 CD is just $297 (I'll pick up the shipping fees). Click Here to Order the MP3 CD.

In Conclusion

Seminars CAN be an incredibly lucrative business. IF you do them right. The cost of this event should be made up the very next time you do a seminar or workshop.

You'll learn things that could be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to you over the next few years.

You owe it to yourself to invest in this incredible opportunity. Take action now. If you set this aside, you'll end up forgetting about it.

Don't do that!

You'll miss out of your opportunity to uncover the secrets of marketing your own seminars and workshops. The free bonuses alone are worth more than your $497 investment, not to mention the incredibly valuable content you'll get out of the event itself.

Miss This Event At Your Own Risk!

There are a few events out there that claim to tell you how to do seminars. Quite frankly all of them are weak. Many times there are weak speakers. Often times they have weak content. How are am I so sure that this event will be different?

I Guarantee it! Ask any other event in this industry for a guarantee. Then pause a few moments and wait for the laughter.

I called some "supposed" expert in this field and asked them what their guarantee. Their response: "We guarantee we'll DO the event." They thought this was a funny line. I thought it was sort of sad. They had to joke around because of their lack of confidence in delivering on their promises.

RIDICULOUS!

I'm not saying that I will make you jump out or your seat and change your religion, but I am saying that you'll be getting so much highly useable, immediately relevant information that you won't even remember we offer a guarantee.

But, that choice will be up to you. If you don't honestly feel that I've given you ten times the value of what you've paid, I DEMAND that you ask for your money back.

What's different about this event? Most of the events give you a lot of theoretical mumbo jumbo. Often all you hear is a lot of unintelligible psychobabble or worse yet, speakers whose primary goal is to impress you with how brilliant they are.

A lot of seminars give you a lot of theory, BS and vacuous FLUFF. This event will have none of that. Just highly relevant, immediately useable, easy to implement content. No theory, just practical, useable ideas.

So, Now What?

If you're considering skipping this event, THINK AGAIN!

I give you my personal guarantee that this event will be worth your time. You can sit on your hands and do nothing or you can pick up the phone and call NOW to register.

The information you'll get at this event will pay you dividends for years to come.

If you want to really learn how to create and market your own events, then this is the event for you. CALL NOW to reserve a space.

We look forward to seeing you in Las Vegas.
