What did you enjoy most about a recent seminar?

There was one I went to a couple of years ago. It was these two ladies that teamed up together. One was an expert in long-term care and the other one specialized in estate planning, I think. They were really funny, and at the end, they played a game where they said someone had a smiley-face sticker on the bottom of their dessert bowl. I think they got free movie passes or something. It was a lot more fun than some of the seminars I’ve been to.

My wife and I went to a seminar eight or 10 years ago that made a favorable impression on everyone who went. It was run by an advisor who mailed everyone a small card with a choice of topics on it. He asked everyone to put checks next to the topics they were most interested in. At the door, his assistant took the cards and tallied up the results while he was giving his opening remarks. Then the assistant told him what most people wanted to learn about, and he talked about those things.

We went to a seminar where the guy offered a 5-percent discount on his commission to anyone who came. That seemed like a pretty good deal, so we went, even though all our money was already tied up. We saw a lot of people filling out comment cards afterward, so I think it worked for him. Also, I remember the food was really good. It was Greek.
