Sounds like you learned a lot at the US Govt Grant seminar. Wow! And you're right - that this is the norm and there is an upside - content shared in the seminar (before the sales pitch) is usually really helpful. Definitely need a notebook, coffee and business cards! Hey Tom! Sounds like you learned a lot at the US Govt Grant seminar. Wow!

Unfortunately this is the norm almost world wide. I have attended similar events in Ireland and the U.K. I have also attended my share in California as well. When I attend, they are usually initially free to get you hooked and then comes the sales pitch.I got caught two years ago and won't get caught again. On the good side, a lot of these events do have good content so the note book is crucial and you can do some networking , but like you, you gotta get to Hell out at the end before the high pressure sales pitch starts. A typical example would be the USA Government Grant Seminars. They are free and you do get a lot of info, but then comes the clincher, in order to get money quick you have to spend your $5K so that their coaches can help you with the paperwork. If you don't join on the night, then they torture you on the phone (you have to give a phone # to get entry) or on the internet. They must still feel I may be a sucker as they have invited me back to the last two seminars in Fresno,CA. Hi Holly, I like your style with the $20 in the Wheel of Fortune and then leave with your winnings. Well done. I was just wondering did any rich suckers actually pay the $10million before the special "cheap" rate of $5K LOL. Kind regards Tom Nice one Holly.

I put $20 in the Wheel of Fortune Slot Machine (first time gambling in Las Vegas and I've been here almost a year) - and I won $270 dollars. I cashed out and left!

I have attended several marketing events - and generally I've learned new things that could help business, and met a lot of great people. The thing that gets to me the most is at the very end of each speaker's presentation - is their sales pitch. At this event, it dragged on and on - and the speaker said that his program was worth, in his words a "Bajillion dollars!" What??? It's usually the same thing - $5000 for some type of coaching or joint venture to be a part of an elite group of money-making gurus. Since I dated one of these Internet Marketers who used these tactics (a couple years ago), I've become even more disgusted with it all. He let me have access to see their coaching program. Obviously NOT everyone is scamming you - but many of them are charging $5000 for access to their "coaching" that includes a members area that you login to, listen to audio, download a bunch of old ebooks or transcribed conversations - and that is it. To me, that is not personal coaching. I think I may write a post about attending these events - a disclaimer of sorts. I just wrote a post about some of the upcoming events of 2009, and I am not discouraging anyone from attending. Just be careful what you signup for. Generally you will learn a lot and meet a lot of great people - so if you can put up with the insane sales pitches at the end - it is worth it.

Would the commitment be to learn how to charge others $5,000? LOL Like Anna, I don't know what they were selling, but I'm not sure what the justification would be to show something with an original price tag of $10 million, but only to sell it at $5,000. Sounds like they were trying way too hard to make a point. Hehe, funny photo. Would the commitment be to learn how to charge others $5,000? LOL

I don't know the content of the event. I kind of think it is safer to start with a smaller investment! Even when a program is truly workable, people have to find out how it works for them. Especially when you don't know if you will even have the steam and persistence to push it through or whether you will just loose in interest before it gets anywhere. But if one were already earning money and experienced in a certain field and came across an opportunity that they could invest in, which they knew they could use to bring them results, then that's another story. Especially if you have $5,000 in your pocket. That is pretty funny.
