PLANNING YOUR INCREASED
SALES FOR 2023
|
|
Please join us for this exclusive training event designed to help you dominate 2023 by laying a foundation for a future business almost unrecognizable in the long term (in a good way)!
In this live class, we'll discuss two issues all Real Estate Professionals face and how to tackle them at a level your competition will simply not do. We'll start with a big picture overview and end with an actionable, completely-custom plan for you and your business.
We're excited to host this with several key sponsors in the beautiful Expansive Wauwatosa location (in the Mayfair collection).
Lunch will be served at 11:45 with the training to be started at 12 Noon sharp. The training will be done by 1 PM but we will have a Q & A and networking to follow for those who can stick around. You'll be out and on with your day by 1:30 PM at the latest; likely sooner!
Some will, and most won't. We want to be the same!
This event is brought to you by Luminate Home Loans.
