You make setting up a workshop seem manageable. Your step by step and hands on approach is outstanding. It was great! Heather Macy, Owner, Olympia Real Estate, Olympia, Washington
The most important thing I got from the program was the six step outline of how to put together a workshop/class that really works. I would recommend the program to others, because it provides you with the path to presenting a successful workshop and in general how to make better and more effective presentations.Greg Asvestas, Team Leader, San Antonio Keller Williams Realty
I want to thank you for the excellent seminar. I have been a trainer for a large portion of my business career and it is somewhat disconcerting when I find out that I could have been more effective if I had known the principles and guidelines presented in this home based seminar. The seminar provided information that I will refer to throughout the balance of my career. I enjoyed, not only the information, but also the well thought out process as well. Steve Dick National City Mortgage
Personality, professionalism, and knowledgeable. What more could you ask? The most valuable idea I learned and will immediately use is how to organize a workshop. C. Ray Dotson, John L. Scott
Eye opening experience – about the difference in teaching and training through experience & small successes”Gary Richey, operating partner, Keller Williams Realty
I think this comment from a team leader sums it all up... ‘The knowledge & skills are absolutely a must if we are going to continue to expand and heighten the level of training we do across the board. We need more fantastic trainers like Carla.’Kathleen D. Pfister, Regional Operations Manager North Texas/New Mexico Region Keller Williams Realty
This new agent’s business start-up plan is so detailed and comprehensive, most real estate professionals would term it a ‘business plan’.
