Thread: The Investment Seminar Steakhouse Circuit

    The Investment Seminar Steakhouse Circuit

    I don't know how I got on the list, but I have been getting invitations to attend evening investment seminars, with a steak dinner too!
    Just in the last month, went to Ruth's Chris, The Oak Steakhouse and Pappadeux this Thursday.

    Been learning alot about investing, and its been enjoyable and will likely talk further with some of these folks.

    Anybody else founds yourself on somebody's "potential client list" like this?

    We've been invited numerous times for years...

    We were tempted to go and just listen to the "presentation," because Ruth's Chris makes some amazing steaks, but decided being bombarded by the high-pressure sales pitch just wasn't worth it.

    Plus, any extra $$$$ we get, we "invest" it in the Kingdom.

    For us, we were rather pleased with the tone of the meetings, which were low pressure, consisting of a handout sheet where we can sign up for a followup meeting ir not. It was far less pressure that, say, a timeshare meeting or car dealer.

    Nah, don't the free time and a lot of those things bore me anyways.

    Looks like I might have landed on a mailing list tho as I just got another one. This one gives me and a guest a choice of nice hotels to meet at for the free dinner...and the first 50 people who respond get a free laptop.
