Come to a Free Lunch

I'm constantly telling my retired husband that No, I don't want to go to that free Investment lunch. Recently I even pointed out to him an article in the local paper telling the large % that were giving bad advice, and the % that were outright fraudulent, so you know how I felt when he recently told me,

I've signed us up for Tuesday for a free lunch at the yacht club to hear about what's new in hearing aids. Since I have been wanting to get him to have his ears checked and get a hearing aid, I could hardly veto his first effort, though I did continue to remind him, we're not going to buy anything today - we have to compare.

Was I surprised - it was truly educational - we actually learned some things about hearing, as well as hearing aids, and my husband does have a consultation scheduled for this coming week. So some luncheons - investment, hearing aids, or real estate, are legitimate and do work.

Several years ago I tried holding wine and cheese seminars with a financial advisor for UK visitors, but never had enough response to justify the time, much less any expense.

Are you holding any successful seminars or luncheons?

Our office just went to a FREE seminar based on Floyd Wickman's SMART program.  There was some good tidbits of info, but in the end there was 30 minutes of hard sell.  You never know what you'll get.  I feel that if the product is good it will sell itself.  I'm interested in hearing what others have to say.

Valarie - Thanks for sharing that. The other reality about "free" is that it considers that your time has no value. I bring this up when I get cold calls to go to "free" things.
