Russell posted a note about a forthcoming Tom Ferry seminar<\/a>. It would seem to be the seminar season, so I signed up for that one and two others, purely for the thrill of the chase: Identify the scam, marvel at the upsells, listen for the fall-back sale, all that cheesy crap.<\/p>\n

Today was the Craig Proctor seminar. I’ve been getting spam from this guy for years, so I was interested to see what the pitch was. Craig’s ideas are every bit as new as the Claude Hopkins classic, Scientific Advertising<\/a>, as you can see from the advertorials he puts in Realtor<\/i> magazine.<\/p>\n

There is probably more to the Quantum Leap System than I’m giving it credit for, but the essence of the thing is the long-standing teaser-ad strategy, as exemplified by the headline of this post. That much is covered in a very thorough and much more economical “system” in the form of the two Gooder Group Real Estate Rainmaker<\/i> books. Ergo, here is my two step system for saving a ton of money by not<\/i> buying into the Craig Proctor hype:<\/p>\n

Step 1. Real Estate Rainmaker: Successful Strategies for Real Estate Marketing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Step 2. Real Estate Rainmaker: Guide to Online Marketing<\/a><\/p>\n

But remember, the short statement of the Craig Proctor philosophy is “Frustrate them with a problem then offer a solution.” You might just resolve instead to work with people you actually respect<\/i>.
